Posted By: <b>Wayne</b><p>This may have already been discussed many times before, but if the Gretzky Peidmont Wagner is ever truely proven without a shadow of a doubt to be trimmed, which Wagner will reign supreme as the best known, unaltered example? Any ideas???<br /><br />Wayne

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>I believe there are a few in the ex to ex/mt range. I have not seen all of them, but Scott Ireland's would certainly be up there if not the best.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>There are two veteran collectors that have T206 Wagner's that are ExMt. One is ungraded and the 2nd one may have been graded<br /> by now. We really do not realize how many T206 sets are out there, since there are "old school" collectors who enjoy their privacy.<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Hal,<br /><br />Nice card, Honus Wagner promoting a .10 cigar, looks like there couldn't have been much truth to him pulling his card from the T-206 set because of his objection to smoking. <br /><br />Peter C.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>How can you donate something that you sold?

Next Best Wagner
 

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I explained this before a while ago.<br /><br />I knew the buyer of the card (a guy on this site) and he let me know he had purchased it after the auction ended.<br /><br />I ended up buying it back from him for a quick small profit on his part.<br /><br />I wanted to donate it to the HOF in Cooperstown all along... but needed to get a true "fair market value" for the card, so it had to sell on the open market to come up with that price.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>So you sold the card just so that you could buy it back and donate it? And in order to donate it you needed to get a fair market value so that you could take the appropriate tax write-off?
