Because they are so much more readily available
and until you get into the rarer, or more hard to find cards, relatively easy to at least find, even if you can't afford them. Besides, you mention Honus Wagner, and everyone knows what it is you collect.

I once loved the T206 set, then I started working in the hobby. If you search the Marianas Trench or Mount Everest, I swear you will find T206 cards (along with Bob Feller autographs). Other than really difficult backs or signed cards, I really don't get the allure anymore. Plus, despite the rationale, I could never consider a set complete without Wagner or Plank.

I guess you could say that I fit the bill. I only own 5 other pre-war cards ( 2-T205s, T207, 33 Goudey and a 34 Goudey-auto'd). I do have a lot of modern which I trade or sell to purchase more T206s.
Why?.........because of the challenge. Jantz

I agree, regardless of the rationale, if you know the check list to any set, and you don't have the card ... you DON'T have a complete set.
I have two T206 sets, and regardless of how close they are to completion, they are incomplete, even though one of them just needs one card.  So what do I do? I pacify myself by working on the T210 set.

I think part of the allure...
....is that without Wagner you aren't complete. You would have a space in your collection that you dream about filling and yet never do. There's something really nice about that. If you knock of the E95 set -- so what. Too easy. But T206, well now there is an immortal challenge!

Never say never .....
The Wagner is second by a mile, as the toughest card in the T206 set, but it is the symbol of the the hobby, and the one that I need.
Chances are that it might not come to be in my case, but life is full of surprises. The Unbelievable we can do ... the Impossible ... will take a little longer. If you're looking for an immortal challenge ... try the T209 type II set.
