Is the next generation of investment bankers and crypto millionaires going to go bonkers over him for some reason?
Is he about to get the ESPN Final Dance treatment?

It's all about the
hype. Lot's of attention "now" probably means people will revere this card in the future.
It's easy to remember the T206 Wagner because of over 5 decades of
hype. Yeah, I get it, it's Wagner. Who's Magee?
Just my personal thought - this card has been
hyped to the point where it's a must have card in the (arguably) most collected turn of the century tobacco card offering. If people with cash want it because it's so
hyped, they'll pay the price. If I had unlimited resources, I'd probably own one. But since I don't, I'll spend my cash on stuff that I like. Sometimes it just turns into one of those "cardboard measuring contest" things.
Just my opinion, as long as cardboard prices rise, this will also continue to rise. The more this becomes a deep pockets guy hobby, then you can rest assured that this card will probably rise in price faster than other cards in the set because of the
hype.
