Wagner provenance. Anyone know?
Hi guys, I'm looking for some information regarding this auction from 1974.
Can anyone confirm which Wagner exactly Rick Barudin was selling here? I *think* this was my father's first Wagner, that he bought in 1972 and then sold to Barudin when he found the Jumbo Wagner in July, 1974. Looking to confirm that the card shown below is the same card Barudin sold in this auction. Please let me know if you have the info. Thanks! |

Very good
I find it interesting that the card's one sentence description touts the card as in "very good condition with top and sides all trimmed off"
This was evidently prior to anyone using the term VG as a standard self-grading term. I suppose dealers in 1974 would not use the term "authentic" that was designated on the TPG slab later on. I have see old descriptions use the term "original" Anyway, Andrew...not meaning to divert your initial question. I mentioned in the thread about living in the same city that that the Jumbo Wagner was found in 1974, which is the extent of my provenance knowledge Sure sounds like you might have found the same card being sold that was later slabbed!

Rick died perhaps a decade ago, his partner Buddy still operates a Sports store in New Jersey the last time I checked.
You might actually be able to talk to Buddy to see if he remembers anything about that card. I know, it was a ton of years ago, when I was at Beckett, and I casually mentioned about how he was a co owner of the 1st BB Card store in America, our editor lit up and said, go interview him right now over the phone, which I did. He remembers things like this and is a big NY Rangers fan as well. http://www.yelp.com/biz/buddys-sports-corner-paramus Regards Rich

Also, there might just be another store that predates Rick and Buddy's. Are you familiar with Sports Nostalgia, which was located in Upper Saddle River, NJ? My father was a partner in that store along with Bob Laughlin, Bill Himmelman (former official NBA historian), Pete Henrici, and Lew Eskin. As far as I know they opened in 1972. Their store then moved to Cooperstown in 1974/75 and became Baseball Nostalgia, which Pete Henrici still operates today. He'd be able to tell you the exact date they opened Sports Nostalgia. |

I was an active collector in those days in NJ and as far as I remember Sports Corner opened up in the Antique Mall in Montvale a couple of years before Sports Nostalgia opened their store on 17 up in North Jersey.
There was a nice guy named Danny Marucci (sic) who worked at that store and I have not seen or heard about him in about 30-35 years, do you have any updates on him. Rich

It was Danny Marcella not Marucci. My memory takes a while sometimes.

The one in Paramus Park was the Sports Corner handled by Rick and Buddy.
Before Paramus Park they were in the baseman (antique mall section) of the Bergen Mall which is where they moved after Montvale. Rich
