1911 Sporting Life Honus Wagner
 

Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Is this card rarer than the price guide would seem to indicate? I can find no record of one ever being sold on eBay and only found it listed as being sold twice at any other auction.

Posted By: <b>Tim Newcomb</b><p>If you are referring to the M116 Sporting Life Wagner, it's not particularly difficult to find, just expensive. There are plenty on ebay each year, including one right now: <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1911-M116-Hans-Honus-Wagner-PSA-7_W0QQitemZ180095139026QQcategoryZ57993QQssPageNam eZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1911-M116-Hans-Honus-Wagner-PSA-7_W0QQitemZ180095139026QQcategoryZ57993QQssPageNam eZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Are you referring to the pastel or the blue Honus Wagner? The information you are looking at is in error as I know of at least 4 Wagners which have sold on ebay during the last couple of years. I have bid on 3 of them and the other sold with a BIN. There is one on ebay right now with a BIN. The blue Wagner pops up much less frequently than the pastel.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>My best SWAG is that I've seen about six on eBay in the past year, so I thinks it's obtainable with some fairly deep pockets. Any other sightings estimates out there?<br /><br /><br />edited to add that I must type really slow <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Thank you for the responses. I wasn't aware there was one on eBay. I entered "Sporting Life Honus Wagner" in my search and it came up with nothing. Forgot to put "M116" instead.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Bruce, I agree that Wagner is a great image, & one of my favorites.

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>Bruce, fantastic card. I have never seen one before--I assume it's even pricier than the M116?<br />Brian

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Brian, Out of curisoity, I just looked up the price for the M110 Wagner. SCD 2007 "book" prices are <br /><br />M110 Wagner NM 22,500 EX 9,000 VG 4,500<br /><br />for the M116 Wagner blue = 22,000 - 11,000 - 6,600<br />pastel = 4,000 - 2,000 - 1100<br /><br />With no facts to back this up, I'm guessing that the M110 is a tougher card to find than either of the M116s.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Bruce- You would be correct. As an avid M116er, I would still pay more for the M110, you just never see it. Thanks for sharing the scan.<br />tbob

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>Bruce--<br />I would take a NM copy of that M116 pastel for those prices anyday...one reason I have not bought the SCD. I think the pricing is way out of whack. Thanks for the info.<br />Brian
