I would love to know the specifics about the Piedmont Wagner that she mentions.

The missing piece in all of this is... what happened to those other cards? Why didn't my dad buy all of them? Was he out of cash? Were they gone by the time he got there? Anything is possible but I don't believe he would have passed on them completely had they been there. Without a doubt he knew several other collectors at the time who would have been interested in them. I'm sure he would have tried to broker a deal.
I know he wrote down his offer for the Jumbo in his notebook but there's no mention of other cards at all or of other offers. It's a mystery.

We should probably add a pic of the letter offering the Wagner so when it disappears off that website it will still be here.

Just speculating here but based on what she claimed was in her collection I wonder if it's possible her grandfather worked in one of the factories. During the 1909 - 1911 period her father would have been just a kid.

Thanks Pete, great article.
I've got no special insight into Honus's value, and certainly have no serious money, but the $5 million estimate strikes me as high. If I were to guess, I should think its value to be closer to that of the Gretzky card. |

Ya...i agree... Most auction houses like to underestimate to beat expectations goldin seems to have the opposite philosophy that usually backfires.

What do you think this card is going to sell for? Do you think it will bring 5+, less than 3, or somewhere in between?

Over 5m without a doubt. Heck, it could go for over 10 million IF two parties with deep pockets thinks it "market value".
