Bruce BabcockActually, Barry, you got the question right, in spite of the way I worded it.
I meant to say, which card holds second place, behind the PSA 8 T206 Honus Wagner, for price paid, excluding the other times this particular Wagner has changed hands, and what was that price?
My point was that at $1.265 million, the PSA Wagner didn't just edge out the Number 2 valued card by $10k or by $25k, but rather, by several hundred thousand dollars. The breaking of the million dollar barrier certainly created more buzz than if the card had sold for, for example, $923,576. So the owner became not only owner of the highest price card ever but also the first million dollar card.
I imagine that, counting all T206 Wagner transactions, Wagners would hold most of the top ten spots.
