I think it depends on how strongly the connection is between this being THE WAGNER, and it being in a PSA 8 holder.
Certainly this card has some crazy notoriety that eclipses the flip.
But once you divorce the card from the flip, is it still the same card? While the cardboard purists and grading naysayers among us will definitely suggest that it’s the same card with or without the flip, I’m not convinced that there isn’t some diminution in value due to reduced cachet and recognizability if the flip is removed.
A there’s no question that for the set registry goons out there, the flip makes a difference, even for THE WAGNER.
