The last time it sold it realized about $80,000. The new owner is starting it at 99 cents. Seems reasonable to me.

Card sold in Sothebys Halper auction in 1999 for $85,000. Sold in my auction a year year for $93,000. Was then sold in a Mastro auction in the high $70s a year or two later. I know the person who won that and I do not think he is in Minneapolis.

My guess from the scan is that the offered card may not be real so be real, real careful with this based on the history and the analysis of the scan from someone who owned the card for a year.

"Sothebys Halper auction in 1999 for $85,000"

SCD had a Halper article a few weeks back and listed many of the prices realized from that auction. Wow, some very good deals compared to today's prices. I have a feeling everyone pulled their money from the stock market after 2000 and has been putting it into pre-war cards since then:>)

Just from the scan, and not looking at it in my hands, the collar on Wagner is not the correct blue color, but it is the color that so many reprints and fakes have been over the years.

I will add to Bill's observation....that Bowerman should have
a Green background. This item is a fake.

Anyhow, all our arguments are moot....ebay has just removed
this lot.

Well, the seller has re-submitted this "T206 strip"; and, this time
has qualified it.

I saw an ad a couple of years ago somewhere where someone was selling these "uncut strips" as reproductions and was selling them in groups of 25 for $100, so there are a lot of fakes floating around...
