Hi Corey
Your last comment sparked an instant "flashback" in my mind to the Willow Grove Show (circa 1985). The scenario was....Bill Mastro shopping around his new-found T206 Wagner to
us dealers at the Show. I remember he wanted 30K for it (which was a lot $$$$$ for it back then). But upon my close observation, I don't recall if I passed on it because of the price,
or because of my suspicion that it appeared "trimmed".
It certainly was the Talk of the Show that weekend. Furthermore, a rumor was "floating" around that this Wagner was cut from a PIEDMONT sheet which included an Eddie Plank card.
The rumor regarding the Plank card eventually materialized when we found out that Charlie Conlon acquired this PIEDMONT Plank from Mastro.
And, it was eventually graded by PSA as an "A".
Nevertheless, a bunch of us dealers (including me) reflecting back to that weekend in the mid-1980's do have some regrets.
