For a long time this Wagner was my favorite. My card, by todays's standards,
would have graded a "5". I didn't pay much for it back in the late '80s. Had I
kept it and sold it in today's market (figuring by what you paid), I would have
realized at least a 1000% gain. So, why did I part with this card ?

Well, I traded it for a 1949 Bowman Satchell Paige (grade 6 or 7) back about
8 years ago. At the time I needed a nice Paige in order to sell the 1949 set.
And, I broke one of my "trading rules"....don't trade pre-War stuff for post-War
stuff.
Another, factor for trading off this Wagner was I had finally acquired the two
Wagner cards for my E90-1 set and they looked much prettier.
