[parkplace33]

Not sure if this is new to net54 or old news. Interesting to see if/when this comes to market.

Wow, very cool!

Although that grade might be a liiiiiiiitle bit generous, especially considering it was only graded a few years ago.

I was thinking the same thing.. No way in hell is that a '5'. Not with corners like that.

Folks -- stop thinking this is worth more than the PSA 8 Wagner. While we now know the whole story behind said card it *IS* the most famous card in the hobby and as such should be the most expensive card. Period end of sentence.

Remember there is a book written about that PSA 8 Wagner. No tome has been written I suspect won't be written about the SGC 5 Wagner.

Yeah, it's a 3 no matter how well centered or pretty it is. It is not a playing card; it shouldn't have rounded corners.

PSA 2.5 max. I would not, however, turn it down.

Last night was Season 2, episode 1 of Golden's show on Netflix. There was a big segment on this card in the show. Mr. Golden takes 10M in cash to the owner "Steve" (Who knows if the cash was the real deal), and attempts to get him to let Mr. Golden send the card to auction - he was turned down.

I'm sure much more to follow in the upcoming episodes regarding the card.

There is a thread in the water cooler section on the show if anyone wants to chime in.

I've never understood this, or the subtle "pass" that many other prewar but especially tobacco cards get on corners. If that was a 1950's Topps card with those corners, no way is that within shouting distance of a 5.

When I look at that card my focus isn't on the number.

Over graded? Sure. But who cares..... It's stunning!

This.

I cackled when Steve rejected Ken Goldin's offer

[Tomi]

In one of the episodes Ken Kendrick said he was going to pass the PSA 8 Wagner to his son and his son told him he has no intention of ever selling. We might not see it sell again in our lifetime.

Same. It kinda made the show for me.

I believe it’s been said that SGC is historically more lenient on corners and tougher on centering while PSA is the opposite.

False


Sgc never cared about centering until a few years back. It was the "go to" for.psa 8 oc and 9 oc cards. Then they shot themselves in the foot and ultimately will go the way of Pwcc

Many years ago, it was well known that one of the Michałowicz brothers of Petersburg, VA, both long-time collectors, owned two Wagners. Anyone know what happened to those? Are the brothers still active?
