Hi Howie:
Thanks for posting the above Sports Fan. Andrew Aronstein has PM'd me about my buying the Wagner card from his father. I told him I thought I got it at a show in Cincinnati, but my memory is at fault by what I am reading here. You'd think I would remember EVERYTHING about buying a Wagner.
I drove straight from the show in Detroit to Mike's house in NY to pick up the Wagner. Then returned home to New Jersey. As I have posted elsewhere here on Net54, I sold my Wagner along with the rest of my collection to Barry Halper a few later. My copy recently turned up in a Bill Goodwin auction and sold for $1.2 MILLION. OUCH!
I do recall outbidding Karen M. I am probably the only guy to have a Wagner before he had the other cards in the set, but as can be read in the above I bought the rest of the set from Frank Nagy.
I was in his basement about four or five times over the years, what a treat that was!
I guess I should find a copy of this issue of Sports Fan so I don't forget anything else in the future!
