That Gagne card's only long-term use is as a defensive sub. I doubt those batting ratings hold up all that well even at Iron level. Line drive batted ball profile probably helps, but...

47 contact (gross)
78 gap (ok, now we're getting somewhere)
45 power (eh, could do worse for a defensive whiz)
31 eye (yuck)
30 avoid K (there goes my lunch)

Sure, I could do one just to say I did one. But, I could also wait until...a later date...and pay a fraction of the cost. Maybe I miss out a little bit on the profiteering with these new special edition cards (who knows where the prices will stabilize as more and more are picked over in the AH?), but that's a risk I can deal with. Paying 1K PP for Tim Wakefield is not. lol
