T206 Wagner price estimate
Posted By: Dylan
The infamous T206 Gretzky/McNall Wagner was originally purchased in 1991 for 451,000. Later, in 1996 the same card sold for 640,500. The next recorded sale was for more then 1 million dollars. I understand that there is speculation the this particular card encapsulated by PSA is possibly trimmed. In any case, if one had to guess, what would the NM/MT Wagner sell for if put up for auction today? |

Maybe Sean recruited a friend we can only hope that is not the case. |

Sorry if I rubbed anyone the wrong way. Im actually new to this board and havent a clue who Sean is. However I love vintage baseball cards and am very happy to find such a board. I'm not surprised that questions regarding Wagners T206 are worn out. If someone can tell me how I would be more then happy to delete the thread. |

Sean was a young kid who kept asking the same questions again and again about how much things were worth, and he was eventually given his walking papers. As far as the value of the PSA-8 Wagner, $2 million plus is my guess. The desire to own the card is greater than the information surrounding it. And welcome to the board. |

There was an article in the Daily News on October 1 written by Michael O'Keefe which reports that the current owner of PSA 8 T206 Wagner has agreed to a private sale of the card for between $2.2 and $2.4 million. The article said $100K has already been deposited by the buyer as a down payment. |

I knew about the story cited by Corey but thought it was still confidential information. If the sale is private and not even completed, it's curious it is in the news. I would want a done deal before I went public with it. |

Dylan, the best rule of thumb for a happy time on this board is to care about the card first, & the grade & value are secondary. Its a passionate hobby for most of us, & the history/mystery of it all is foremost. Its easy to get caught up with prices & values as I do from time to time, but thats not whats important to most of us I suspect. Welcome aboard. |

A lot of questions you might have can probably be answered if you use the seach function. It's a very handy tool. |

Looks like Dylan has made some thoughtful posts on other threads. Although Sean seemed to be an OK kid, Dylan definitely isn't Sean. |

Dylan's question was legitimate. Pricing on a Pre-War card. There's no reason for him to appologize. And my $2 million was a sincere quess. |

I am a relatively new poster here, but here's my feeling: if there is a question on your mind that has to do with vintage baseball cards, just ask. If you are out of line with your inquiry, I'm sure the moderator will let you know. |

Don't worry about the thought police; the folks who have been run have violated board rules and/or requests of the moderator. Post away and the moderator (Leon) will let you know if something is out of line. And have fun (that's an order). |

I wouldnt normally have asked the question, as i figured a number somewhere over 2 Million would sound right, but after reading a couple articles about the possible trimming/altering of the card, I was wondering if serious collectors were indoubt of its grade, therefore value. Ofcourse the cards bigger then life rep im sure will keep it in the top spot, however... if there were a card or two that could possibly dethrone the famous Wagner any speculation on which it could be? |

Serious collectors have bona fide questions about the card, but it never has and probably never will stop it from being the most valuable card in the hobby. As I said earlier, the desire to own it is greater than any information surrounding it. |

90-100k for a PSA 1 specimen. A PSA 1 1914 Baltimore News Ruth went for just over $150K....what would a bona fide 8 bring? |

PSA 1 Wagners have not gone for under 100k for several years now. With decent eye-appeal, even a PSA 1/SGC 10 would go for over 150k IMHO. |

There are more than two 1914 Ruths known, probably more like 6 or 7. Still makes it an exceedingly rare card, and one that is gaining more respect with each passing year. And the fact that it isn't a true rookie- here we go again- because it shows Ruth as a member of the International League Baltimore team has not hurt its desirability. Part of the reason PSA-1 Wagners go so high is that there are so many people who really want one and every time one comes up for sale they get outbid. So the next time around, they know they have to go a little higher. I suppose that applies to any desirable commodity, and a T206 Wagner is certainly the most coveted card in the hobby. Not the rarest by any stretch, but the one that everybody wants to own. Will the 1914 Ruth surpass it in desirability? Probably not, but it has a great shot at being number two. And that's not so bad, is it? |

Is this really not his rookie card (Ruth's Baltimore News card)? I thought that it was. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks in advance. |

Minor League cards are not considered rookie cards by a lot of us. |

Thanks, Hal. I was not aware that is what was meant by that comment. Is it fair to say that that is Ruth's first known card? |

Yes, it is Ruth's first known card. He is 19 years old at the time. |
