The restored Wagner in milehigh sold for $800k+/- (70%) more than it sold for in 2021. That is pretty amazing. I think it has to do with it being a Wagner, not the acceptance of restoration.
The value of all things Wagner, especially portraits, have exploded in 2023- a rather common blue M116 sold for just under $53k last night in memory lane. An SGC 3 sold for $16.8k in April of this year and a PSA 3.5 sold for $10.2k in 2021. This is not a rare card. Look what has happened to the E90-2 and Tip Tops lately. Indeed, all Warner’s have exploded, including the e92/e101 throwing and batting, the E95, the M101-4/5. Who knows what an e103 and an e104-2 would sell for. Wagner is crazy hot. The t206 is the ultimate Wagner, it’s the ultimate card. A believe the winner of the restored Wagner wanted a t206 Wagner, come hell or high water, and they didn’t care if it was restored or pulled from the ass of a gorilla.
T206 Wagners are like NFL franchises. The one in Milehigh is like the Lions (who look great this year). They can’t all be Cowboys, 49ers, and Chiefs. The owner of the Lions still owns a football team and the owner of the restored Wagner still owns a Wagner.
