[Steve D]

ESPN.Com reports that SCP (Dave Kohler) has brokered a private sale of a PSA 2 Wagner for $1.2M.

According to Kohler, it's the same Wagner that Heritage sold for $776,750 in 2016, and Lelands sold for $657,250 in 2014.

Here's a picture of the card from T206resource.com:



Here's an image from FoxNews.com, that was evidently provided by SCP, which shows the card has been reholdered:

A little mature conservation to those corners and you'll see a 4 for sale in a few months...

But seriously, that's a hell of a sale for a PSA 2.

I guess it's true, you have to have money to make money!

No chance that gets a 2 if submitted today. I would still take it though.

Agree, those corners aren't just worn, they are MIA.

Wow I remember psa 2 wagners were in $600k range few years ago.

Realistically, the color and centering is very nice on this one. There’s a whole lot worse looking examples running around out there.

If I win that Powerball...

Hold my beer...

This was sold 6/7 months ago. I have seen the card in person and it's nice, strong color and just great eye appeal.

It has come to my attention that this card has reached that national media. I'd like to inform the collecting community that we have acquired this T206 Honus Wagner PSA 2 as well as the 1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb/ Ty Cobb Reverse PSA 4.5 from the Lucky 7 find and each of the cards will be featured in my October 2019 auction and will be on display at the National in Chicago at the Mile High Card Co. booth. We will be issuing a Press Release concerning this next week

Why would you (or someone else) buy the Wagner outright for that much, just to turn around and immediately put it up for auction?

That just seems to be an awfully dangerous and risky move.
