Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>I'm going to be looking into buying an original Honus Wagner before too long. Other than the t200, Colgan's, and National Game, are there any Wagner's to be had for under $1000 from his playing days? Any guidance would be appreciated.<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>If condition is no object, then absolutely. Within the last year, I picked up a beautiful Cracker Jack Wagner that was slightly but noticeable trimmed along one edge for about $300 on ebay.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The 3 game cards from 1913 era......WG5 (National Game) and WG6 (Tom Barker Game), and the WG4 (Polo Ground Game) are can be had in mid grade for around $500-$700 now.<br /><br />Picked this one (WG6) up for $95 on eBay 2 years ago, then sold it for $175 last year. But they have jumped a bit lately.<br /><br /><img src=http://centuryoldcards.com/images/wg6-wagner.jpg>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>The Pinkerton PC's are very cool. I used to see them fairly often but don't anymore. I always like the detailed pics of Hans swinging...those forearms are something. Bet he never had a problem finding a vein to get a shot....(sorry for the other pic...they're scanned together)....regards<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1153332722.JPG">

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>For a $1k and if condition isn't a priority, you should be able find anything except his t206, e107 and Reccius in that price range. Now finding one for under $300 that is rpesentable, that is a bit more tricky.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>Growing old is not optional, growing up is.

Posted By: <b>dd</b><p>That Pinkerton "swinging pose" could also be found on wag's baseball magazine premium...a good example of an affordable wagner...that is, if you can find one.

Posted By: <b>bob beyerle</b><p>Does anyone know what the last for sale/auction T5 Pinkerton Cabinet of Wagner went for? Guess it would have to be torn in four pieces to get less than $1000. How about a lower condition W600? Have any surfaced in the $1000 range lately?

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>I agree Bob, a pinkerton wagner would cost multiple thousands if I had to guess unless it was in two pieces. Heck, Im aware of a pinkerton postcard matty (sgc 50) that just sold for just a hair under 1k very recently.
