Marty,

I don't think this one sold. The listing just ended. This card has been the subject of much discussion around here. It was sold in the Legendary Live auction at the 2009 National. It was offered for auction by Mears a couple of months ago. Mears, to their credit, showed copies of the order form that listed all the restoration work that had been done.

Suffice it to say this really isn't a "Wagner" as much as it some common cards, cut up and rebuilt into a "Wagner."

If I can find the old thread, I'll post it.



Edit: That was easy. The link to the Mears auction and order forms is in my original post.
