What if a Signed T206 Wagner Surfaced?
If a signed T206 Wagner surfaced for auction, how high do you think it would go? Let's say this scenario in PSA 6 condition.
|
I think the hobby would implode into a black hole.
But seriously, I can see it going for $10 million the way card prices are going. If the holy grail of baseball cards is signed I can't imagine the bidding frenzy. However, I think there's a 0.001% chance of one ever surfacing. |
A PSA 6 Wagner now would probably bring at least $5 million even without the autograph. If it's a nice autograph (let's say 7/10), I'd guess a cool $10 million.

Wasn't the owner of the infamous trimmed PSA 8 Wagner offered $10M, which he declined?
I'd think a signed Wagner would top that in a non trimmed PSA 6. |
Ironically, this is one autograph I would never question the authenticity of - I mean, who would risk defacing a wagner?!?
I've always wondered what the Wagner letter/cheque to John Gruber would fetch, assuming it came with provenance. My guess would be more than any given t206 Wagner? |
I actually own a signed T206 Wagner, except that:
1- It's a reprint; 2- It's not signed by Wagner. I had Wayne Gretzky sign it for me about 15 years ago. Sorry to get us off- topic. :D |
I would feel bad if one of them surfaced, I would hate for our good friend T206collector to have a heart attack.
|
I think a signed T206 Wagner might sell for less than the same card unsigned.

Signed by Anne Frank . . .

I would love to see the Provenance of the signed Wagner card. Plus, what other cards were found with it, if any.

I find it interesting that everyone has just assumed that the OP is referring to Honus Wagner in his post. He just asks about a T206 Wagner; he may have been referring to Heinie Wagner ;) Steve |

I would indeed have a heart attack, but since I can't even seem to land a signed T206 Cobb (even though there are plenty out there), I won't hold my breath over a signed T206 Wagner!
Having said that, I do think my signed M116 Wagner is a decent "filler" until I stumble across an actual signed T206 Wagner. <img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/449/31490041984_efb6724932_b.jpg" width="635" height="1024" alt="Wagner_M116_SGC_A"></a> |
T206Collector: WOWZERS!!! I imagine that might be worth my house ... or more? :)
Someone on BO posted this. Is this a photoshop job? https://caimages.collectors.com/psai...7/IMG_3198.jpg |
Cats and dogs, living together....mass hysteria!

A singular example of a signed version of the most important card in the hobby? With all the competition of graded cards and registry listings, this 1/1 would be the non pareil of baseball cards. |
If PSA authenticates the auto, I'm in.:D
By the way, is there such a thing as a trimmed autograph?:eek: |

Of course, a signed card would end any truth to the story of his wanting nothing to do with the card due to tobacco concerns.
