Were these cards from a card game??

I found a Wagner on eBay http://tinyurl.com/5gwnmq and noticed it had a high grade but that 2 more were graded even higher (9)!  It seems to me that if these cards were part of a card game, they would be worse for wear but to have this many graded so HIGH makes me wonder what these cards are made of?  Acylic?

The cards came in a box with a board and instruction sheet. Would be nice to find one complete!

I thought they had to but was not sure and I hadn't seen anything to confirm. Are the cards made from a thicker card stock??

They are made out of stock that is similar, in thickness, to modern playing cards...maybe a little thicker. The reason there are so many high grade ones is that there have been several new "decks" of them found. Complete games in new condition....There was a set on ebay a few years ago that a board member bought. They came back 8's, 9's and many 10's.....He got them slabbed, registered on PSA Registry and sold them for quite a bit in auction....These cards are the most prevelent to find in high grade of any other pre war vintage cards....and also the most affordable, relatively speaking (obviously).

I don't care for some of the hype with sellers either. They say it's one of Wagner's rarest cards with only 17 graded.....Pesonally, from experience, I would say this is one of his more common pre-war Wagner cards....

IMO the fact that the corners are round also helps a lot with the grades on these issues.

Leon, the ability of a great salesman is to hype something without it sounding like HYPE.  Which is exactly why I am no salesman.  I have just as hard a time dishing out BS as I do swallowing it!

Matt, Yes.. that makes sense now that I think of it.. round corners would definately ease the grading.

As a career salesperson I agree with you. I don't like to be "sold" and I can smell it 2 miles away. Give me the facts and let me make my own mind up. Giving misleading facts, as this seller does (imo) only drives me away.

Your blurb about hype reminds me of the definition of the word "tact" that I have heard before.

"Tact" is calling some one an a**hole and having them thank you for it.....

I got an email from an interested party about this particular card up for auction. Though in my brain housing group I wouldn't really consider it scarce or rare, the facts seem to point out a different scenario. I never mind saying I made a mistake...so on this one, with the sets as listed below, I made a mistake....the Fan Craze could in fact be considered scarce....Here are PSA pop's I was given for Wags in these sets.

1909 Cogans-24
1909 E90-1 Amer. Crml -23
1909 Dockman Batting-27
1909 Dockman Throwing-33
1909 E95 Phila Crml-63
1909 T206 -26
1910 E98 Set of 30--23
1910 E90-2 Amer. Crml-34
1910 Standard Crml-49
1910 Tip Top Bread-18
1911 E94 Close Candy-19
1911 M116 Sporting Life Pastel-42
1911 M116 Sporting Life Blue-29
1913 National Game-41
1913 Tom Barker Game-26
1914 Cracker Jack-21
1914 Polo Grounds Game-43
1915 Cracker Jack-43
1940 Playball-107
1949 Leaf-270


kind regards

Leon- I think NL Fan Craze is a little harder than the AL set, but that would not be the Wagner I would guess had the lowest pop.

Hi Marty,

These 2 books are a must have...... they will answer 95% of the questions you may have about PreWar cards sets (Net54 can answer the last 5% )

"2008 SCD Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards" (2009 will come out sometime in Sept. or so)

"The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards" by Lew Lipset

Happy collecting
