If it goes over 85 I am seriously considering trading my 5.
|
Pete, in my honest opinion, they have been undervalued for years. Do not sell. Cobb and Gehrig also. Under 85 for the 5.5 m116 is a steal!!
|
Pete, do you remember that 30 ticket lottery that Howard was running earlier this year for the complete M116 set?
I think tickets were 1300 each and we couldn't fill the spots. A fella could have had the whole set for under 40K, and from memory the Wagner and Cobb were really nice cards. |

I don't know, the way these cards have skyrocketed, taking a massive profit might not be an unreasonable "i" strategy. I bet there are a lot of collectors who'd wished they dumped their MJ rookies when the market was red-hot. That said, I think we are still on the rise with the Wagner. If I had one, I might be tempted to carry it another round or two, but I would most likely set an exit price and get out when it hits.

I am not familiar with a B 311?

It is an interesting dynamic for sure - Understanding that certain players' legacies have taken on a life of their own - I paid somewhere around 1/40th of the prices being discussed recently for this one.
|
Blue M116 SGC 5.5 just closed at 60 plus BP. The ML PSA 3 at 50+ maybe not looking like such a deal now.

Completely agree. I'd wager (a pittance) a few people are bidding up some of these cards looking for the greater fool. Time will tell, but as soon as a regular person goes to sell theirs, the prices don't seem as strong. Likely to be in Goldins next auction, and the one after that, and the one after that. Recently I checked a card history and it's been sold via auction 4 times in the past 2 years, 3 times via Goldin |
Love the comments. The 5.5 centering wasnt that great. 72k respectful. Look at the 1.5 pastel on heritage. Will go for over 20k. Wagz running strong

Wagners
Wagners are still going strong. The E90-2 SGC 2 in Memory Lane last night went way higher than I thought it would. Price is almost double what it sold for in Nov 2022. I'd say a 100% increase in 14 months is a good rate of return.

Wagners
$44K for an SGC 2 E90-2 Wagner last night in Memory Lane….and the beat goes on!

The D304 GB back Wagner in Memory Lane went for just a few dollars less than 13K. The same card sold for 5400 in August of 2022. Pretty good bump.
|
The authentic pastel M116 in REA looks to be headed north of 10k this weekend.

Updated version and a card to accompany the post!
|
The chart shows 29 for E103 Beckett. They show only 1 on pop report, I think the 29 is the “number” of the card for them.

I found it interesting (puzzling?) that the e106 Wagner batting in Heritage last night sold for more than the e106 Cobb leaning in bat. While it was $120 more for the Wags, I thought the Cobb to be in better condition although I’m biased as I bought the Cobb (both are pictured below). Have we reached the point where Wags outsells Cobb in similar (non Wagner portrait) issues? If so, I’ll take Cobb 10 out of 10 times.

Aaron, very nice Cobb and Congrats. I was thinking the same thing on the Novelty Cutlery postcards, where the Wagner went higher than the Cobb.

I’m waiting to see what happens in overtime. A lot of them have shot up in extended bidding.

1964 Peñafiel

I finally picked up my first Wagner card at auction last night.
Although not from his playing days(or even Pre-War for that matter), it is multiple times more rare than his almighty T206. 1964 Peñafiel from Mexico::: |
|
Was watching the T206 Matty, dark cap, PSA 5, really nice for the grade. Basic Piedmont back. Ended w/bp 7800. - OMG. Has to be a new all time high for that card in that grade ! Has the pre-war market bottomed and now trending up in 2024?
|

Also, the pop on a PSA 5 and higher is 14. Besides the T206 and M116, I can only think of only a few issues that depict a playing age Wagner that actually looks like him. I am far from an expert on prewar, but he just doesn't have too many really nice-looking cards. The ultra-modern market can be manipulated rather easily, and I expect to now see a bunch of Wagners hitting the market. From M116 and beyond .... |

What does this do, if anything, for the pastel?

I've always liked the M101 and Collins McCarthy sets for having actual photos of Wagner.

I think Wagner portrait are particularly desirable, considering his portrait is the most famous in all of baseball cards. Personally, aside from the t206, I think the Tip Top is THE one to own given it’s the closest thing to the T206 pose out there. We had that poll A while ago and I think the E90-2 finished first, followed by the Tip Top and the W600, but I do believe the blue M116 got many votes. It’s a great card.

Hopefully cards will get too expensive soon and we'll see a trickle down into his autographs too. His signature is still pretty affordable for a universal tier one guy:

Portraits have been on fire last few years as they are similar to the t206. to me...these prices are pretty crazy on m116's. i'm not sure if they are legit or being manipulated. |
