Dumb question about the 1996 PPF All Star T206 Wagner Give-Away

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Did anyone win the T206 Wagner in the drawing that was supposed to take place in 1998? Can't find anything about it online.

Yes. As I recall, it was a woman who had to auction or sell it due to the tax charge.

Here's a newspaper clip about when it was sold in a Christie's auction Scott.
If this is the one you're talking about it was 1996.

no that was a Wal-Mart contest. This was from an unopened product called PPF All-Stars. They were supposed to do a drawing for a number of vintage cards as well as salting some of them into packs. We get unopened packs and even boxes consigned on occasion and I just got curious.

I'm guessing the drawing never occurred. Chapter 11 around the same time the drawing was scheduled to happen and many unfulfilled redemptions as a result. Someone probably remembers.

I believe the most recent public sale of the "Score Board" Wagner was in 2020.

Here is confirmation that the "Score Board" Wagner never was given away in the 1998 drawing that was scheduled to occur. This article is from July 2000.
