barrysloateNow that I've given the matter a little more thought, the T206 Wagner that Leland's sold in their last auction for 101K, the one with the upper left corner missing, used to be mine. I bought it in 1986 for $8250, then sold it in a Phillipp's auction a year and a half later for $18,000 (less 10% to the house). At the time I was thrilled, but I think I'd like to reel that one back in. Ironically, the day after the auction the winning bidder reneged and I had to hire an attorney to force him to buy it, which he eventually did. In retrospect, I should have let him back out and just kept it. But who would have guessed a card in that condition would be worth that much today?
