In the age of the internet and information there is no reason why a seller should have a $42k cut out of that sale. I wonder if someone tried to auction off a Wag on Net54 what it would go for. Seems like there could be a way for people with high-dollar cards to sell without forking over the price of a Mercedes Benz just for someone to post it on their website. Especially when the publicity alone from that card increases web traffic and bids on other lots by a ton.
Do all auction houses take a full commission on Wagner and other high profile cards? I seem to remember some giving substantial discounts for the publicity.
