I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful card.

I wondered earlier in the thread of Brent was involved with Mike's new adventure. It appears he may be from this pic of a recent dinner (with an impressive cast of hobby luminaries) in which Brent is sitting next to Mike. In any event, it's been quite a long time since Brent vanished from the hobby after the sale of PWCC to Fanatics. I expected him to return at some point.

Yes, they do say that the criminal typically returns to the scene of the crime. If he only had a heart... and ironically, looking into the mirror, it appears the Tin Man took that photo.

LOL. I recognized some, but by no means all.

Looking closer, I spy Steve Foreman of SGC fame.

Would love to be a fly on the wall.

Yes, as well as Joe T. of Goldin and (I believe) Lee Iskowitz and Derek Grady of Heritage. Interesting gathering, no doubt.

Those guys have had their hands on a lot of great cards over the years. I bet there was tons of storytelling going on who scored the most at this table.

A Diamond Certified trading card must achieve a 0.5 technical grade increase, or higher, to receive the Gold Diamond designation.
Maybe Im wrong, but I feel like PWCC and MBA assign these "stickers" anytime the card is well centered. That is a gorgeous Wagner , But I would have gotten a 2.5 likely LOL.

I envision there was merely tons of discussion how to manipulate the hobby to enrich themselves.

According to sources, one of the guys in the group that just bought a Jordan/Kobe card for 12 million and a Jordan/Lebron card for 10 million is also in the picture.

Why am I reminded of the old annual power event known as the Predators' Ball? LOL

Have no comment on the photo but 22 large could not have been spent worse, imo, but happy collecting to O'Leary and friends.

Even if they sell at a loss, we'll be told the opposite by the Ministry of Truth.
