Most valuable card
 

T206 Wagner psa 8 or one of the three 52 Topps mantle psa 10’s?

Baltimore News Ruth PSA 4 would easily fetch 7 figures

You think Baltimore Ruth would fetch more than the Wagner or mantle?
Could very well be possible after all Ruth is the king of baseball.

Ken Kendrick’s Wagner. He has been offered 10 million for it. He hasn’t been offered that for his PSA 10 Mantle. I would think the Baltimore News Ruth would go for more than the Mantle too. The Wagner and Ruth are unique cards. There are 3 of the Mantles.

What is the story behind that Wagner getting a "MC" designation?

Are the Luis Robert rookies still going strong?

I would want to guess T206 Wagner, but I guess you never know with the way the modern stuff sells. Rob

Most valuable card? Probably some Diamond Rainbow Purple Super-duper Refractor card of Mike Trout (#'ed /5). :D

I thought
 

that Goldin was soon going to auction off a Trout Superfractor RC that is expected to be the highest price ever paid for a baseball card-

Vegas Dave said that he would sell his Trout Superfractor for 5 million, not that it would sell for that. So it is not Trout, at least right now.

I thought Vegas Dave consigned that card to Goldin's summer auction? Definitely won't be a $5 million card, but given that a #/5 red refractor sold for $922,500, the superfractor should go significantly higher.

Especially now with baseball season [maybe] starting

For the uninitiated, what is the difference between a refractor and a superrefractor?

Fixed your post. With Wagner and Ruth you are looking at dozens down to several total cards. Not the quantity of a card that has achieved a certain opinion from a 3rd party.

The latter is super.

Scott I *THINK* Rats meant that there are only THREE PSA 10 Mantles. But as I am not a registry and pop report guy, I don't know for sure.
Meaning Rats was trying to contextualize the 1 Kendricks Wagner, to the three PSA 10 Mantles.
Thats how I read it anyway.
I could be wrong, but I think thats how he was trying to compare the two, not the "run of the mill '52 Mantle" only the 3 known "10s".


All this aside, I personally would rather have have a mere "PSA 6-7 Mantle".
Owning a Wagner puts you on the world map in a sense, and I don't personally care to be in that spotlight.

Not taking anything away from any Wagner owners, but its just not something I aspire to own.

It is superfractor, not superrefractor. It just has a different pattern. Topps has also made atomic refractors, xfractors and different color refractors to get collectors to buy their products. The 2009 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout Superfractor is his ultimate card. 2009 was his first card. The Superfractor only has one copy made.

Just So Cy Young would be at the top of my list of cards to own. Value is hard to determine...Several million at least, I would guess.

To put the current 1/1 insert in perspective. In the early 90's as a candy wholesaler a card company rep came in to see me one afternoon. He handed me a signed Shaq insert number 2 0f 3. I said "Wow how can you do this there are only three in existence?" He laughed, opened his briefcase and showed me a stack of them. I highly questioned manufactured rarities.

So it looks like t206 Wagner psa 8 versus Ruth Baltimore psa 4 for the most valuable card.

PSA 8 Wagner does not exist!
 

A PSA 8 Wagner doesn't exist.

That first card PSA graded has been determined to be trimmed by Mastro!

100% on the same page as you. While it may not top the Wagner or Ruth in value, I would absolutely take the Young before either the Ruth and Wagner.
