My Dad and I attended the Auction and were in the room when the Wagner sold. Bought three sets all from the 1930's and were outbid on six or seven other lots we had interest in. I remember John Ramierez outbidding us on a a set of Schulter and Johnson's and did not bother us in the least because we knew it was g going to a great home. Best part was when we went day before to look at the collection displayed. So many finest known examples pity before the digital camera / cell phone age. Worst part was guy who came to purchase a one of a kind Diamond star sheet with the pre announced intent of cutting it up and selling singles. He shoots his load early bidding on a complete set by mistake he wins the lot and then tells auctioneer his mistake and they very nicely let it go and reaction the lot. He has competition but wins lot and sheet was lost.
