Reccius Wagner - PSA reproductions!
 

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I just got one of the 500 reproductions of the Reccius Honus Wagner card that Leland's had made and encapsulated by PSA. <br /><br />It is really cool and looks a LOT like the real thing!!<br /><br />Now I won't miss the REAL one so much.<br /><br /><br />Did anyone else get one of these in the mail???

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Hi Hal,<br /><br />How do you go about getting one, such a very very very cool card.......equal footing for me with the 1914 Baltimore Ruth!

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>That is a very nice gesture on the part of Lelands. Can't wait to get my copy.

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>What must you do to get one? Im a registered bidder and didnt even get a catalog.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>No clue how you get one or anything.<br /><br />I will scan mine tomorrow and post it if nobody else gets one.<br /><br />Then again... if nobody else gets one... then who knows how effective the marketing was? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Was it just a marketing ploy devised to increase interest in your card?<br />Not that I would care of course, because I'd still love to have one.........no doubt one will turn up on ebay in the next few days!!!! <br />Wonder how much it will go for?<br />

Posted By: <b>Michelle Wise</b><p>Wow Hal. I know that that there are several people on the board (including myself) that would love to include one of those in their collection. I guess we'll just all have to compete for the reprints that pop up on the secondary market.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I think you guys should call Leland's and see if you can get one.<br /><br />Even if they ran out, they would probably make more since they advertise on the back of the card?

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Hal<br /><br />I think you should contact Leland's and get a ton of them since you have the<br />right connections. And, being the generous gentleman that you are, donate a<br />Wagner to all us guys on this Forum, who are on your "buddies" list.<br /><br />T-Rex Ted

Posted By: <b>honus3415</b><p>I third Ted's proposal....especially if the label indicates it's from the "Hal Lewis Collection".<p><br />I'd have my secretary give Leland's a call but she's been off for the last 5 years and isn't expected back soon, that and having my phone service shut off for non-payment since I've been helping my parents keep the bill collectors from repossessing their farm since my Dad started taking those exotic treatments for his treminal illness. Just remembering him say to me the last time I seen him, "I sure wonder what it would be like to just hold that Reccius Honus Wagner ROOKIE, just once." I hated to let ole Dad down....but now....<P><br />Or since you still technically own it, have some printed up advertising yourself and sell them...just imagine a money making business expense. I even think Dad might have a couple extra buck hidden in a can in the back yard and since his eyesight isn't so good these days....<p><br /> <br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Ron Rolleri</b><p>Just wanted to thank everyone for your interest in the Reccius Wagner reprints. Requests for copies have been pouring in!<br /><br />When we decided to do the reprint, we wanted it to be something special, like the card itself. Therefore, we only had 500 made and they've all been sent out. Right now, we don't plan on producing any more, as we're pretty busy with our current auction. However, we see how much people like these promos, and we'll continue to do them in the future.<br /><br />Thanks again for your interest and enthusiasm.<br /><br />Ron Rolleri

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Hmmm, so no more for us? Well, keynesian economics tell me that 3 or 4 will be on ebay within 10 days, and I predict the 4th will sell for over $100............<br />Anyone care to make their prediction?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Im just wondering what you had to do to get one of the 500 in the first place. Its obviously not enough to be registered - that, for some reason, doesnt even get a catalog delivered to me.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I'll bet they would send you a reproduction is you BID on the REAL one!!<br /><br />I encourage you to try and find out!<br /><br /><img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br />

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Thanks Hal, but if somehow my bid ended up winning - I'd have to sell my house to pay for it. Somehow I doubt my wife would be too pleased.

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>I'm waiting for one to end up in some donkey's hands, get cracked out, and sold on Ebay as a "I don't know what this is, but my loss is your gain" auction.

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>Ron:<br /><br />What was the criteria for receiving one of the 500 that you sent out? I'm pretty sure that it is just a matter of me being on the West Coast and the corresponding shipping delay. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />CatAwaitingAnxiouslyByHisMailBox<br />

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>A quick EBay search indicates that no one has opted to sell this beauty! Mine will proudly display on my desk for the next year or so.

Posted By: <b>Michelle Wise</b><p>I finally got one of these! A friend of mine bought one today on ebay as a gift for me. I had been searching ebay for the word "reccius" ever since I heard about the promo cards, and have come up empty every time. "Reccius" was NOWHERE to be found in the title or description in the auction that my friend won.

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Id crack it out and submit it to PRO. Id much rather have my reprints graded numerically than the PSA designation "reprint" (heck, Id even prefer Authentic Reprint, or just "Authentic" for short).
