When was the last T206 Wagner find ?
 
When was the last T206 Wagner discovered ? What were the circumstances ? Do you think any are still sitting in someone's attic or estate and the surviving spouse doesn't know it's there or the worth ?
Any estimates of how many of these "Holy Grails" are still out there to be found ?

I remember a new to the market Wagner sold at auction last year...Weiss in NY I believe...it was advertised on ebay as well. I'd surmise there are still a handful of Wagners to be discovered...or that haven't seen the open market in many decades.

I'm sure there are a few complete and partial T206 ect collections out there that are not even known. One of my dad's golfing buddies that passed away a few years ago has a complete high grade 52 and 53 Topps sets purchased in the 1960s sitting up in his 90 year old mothers attic and she has no clue what they are. I'm sure this is only one example of thousands. How many survive the trash and are found is another story. Can you imagine a a t206 set just thrown in the trash. It almost happened a few months ago with the Fargo Old Judge find.

What about the Beckett Wagner? That was not all that long ago and I believe it was a new find.
