Of course this run up happened a couple years after I had sold mine & then decided to collect the set when I bought a nice group from the John Esch collection.
I was able to acquire this one in a private deal.

I was curious about this and looked up the auction. It wasn't the T5 Wagner, it was the original photo used for the Wagner. I don't know enough about the photo market to know if this represents a major increase.
Edited to add: my mistake! Both sold for that price! And I now see you said the PC not the T5. That seems a little crazy to me, it's more than, or at least close to, what a T5 cabinet of Wagner has sold for as far as I know, at least in that condition. I thought the postcards usually went for much less than the cabinets. Maybe the explanation is that someone wanted the pair?
