E104-1 Nadja values all over the map: Why?

Blank back variety.

I am pretty amazed when you look at pop reports for E104 (all variations) as compared to most of the other E or T sets, that their value/appeal isn't higher. Especially for cards like Plank or Wagner that share the classic T206 poses, but are more rare. I guess it's an example of popularity being as much if not far more influential than rarity in dictating values. T206 seems to have that perfect combo of being readily available, aiding its overall poplularity, leading to more collectors.. so when a card within that popular set is relatively rare with respect to the rest of the population (100 Wagners or Planks vs thousands of the more common cards), prices go through the roof.

All cards in E104 (and other similarly tough sets) are so scarce, it can only be collected by a relative few and thus demand stays low. I only have one E104, but hope to add a few more time... especially a Nadja back.

About 10-12 years ago, a few of us on here were collecting them and competing pretty hard, but the type 1s and 2s have cooled since then.

Type 3s will always be appealing to me and many others. Still a lot of possibilities with that set and I believe a couple uncatalogued cards in collections.

I look at them all as separate issues.

I have this Collins with WC overprint and the Swift stamp on the back.
I can live without it, as it was just a placeholder in my d359-1 set.
PM if interested.
