I guess my take on the matter is a little different.
I think people might be a little skittish. When the Wagner PSA 8 sold for $3M, it dragged the price of other lesser Wagners up, which would be a normal response. I know that there has always been controversy regarding that card being trimmed (and that is not the point here), but with the recent indictments of Mastro and the potential involvement of PSA in the matter, I wonder if the price and "cache" of "The Card" will soften, thus having a softening effect on the price of all other Wagners. This is the first Wagner to sell since the recent allegations surfaced (I believe) against Mastro, PSA and "The Card". It will be interesting to see the price of the next Wagner that sells.
Just my opinion.
