Most Affordable Honus Wagner?

Posted By: James Feagin

I'm going to be looking into buying an original Honus Wagner before too long. Other than the t200, Colgan's, and National Game, are there any Wagner's to be had for under $1000 from his playing days? Any guidance would be appreciated.

If condition is no object, then absolutely. Within the last year, I picked up a beautiful Cracker Jack Wagner that was slightly but noticeable trimmed along one edge for about $300 on ebay.

The 3 game cards from 1913 era......WG5 (National Game) and WG6 (Tom Barker Game), and the WG4 (Polo Ground Game) are can be had in mid grade for around $500-$700 now.

Picked this one (WG6) up for $95 on eBay 2 years ago, then sold it for $175 last year. But they have jumped a bit lately.

The Pinkerton scorecards/postcards are very nice.

The Pinkerton PC's are very cool. I used to see them fairly often but don't anymore. I always like the detailed pics of Hans swinging...those forearms are something. Bet he never had a problem finding a vein to get a shot....(sorry for the other pic...they're scanned together)....regards

For a $1k and if condition isn't a priority, you should be able find anything except his t206, e107 and Reccius in that price range. Now finding one for under $300 that is rpesentable, that is a bit more tricky.

Growing old is not optional, growing up is.

I agree with Leon on that swinging Honus pic. One of my favorites.

That Pinkerton "swinging pose" could also be found on wag's baseball magazine premium...a good example of an affordable wagner...that is, if you can find one.

Does anyone know what the last for sale/auction T5 Pinkerton Cabinet of Wagner went for? Guess it would have to be torn in four pieces to get less than $1000. How about a lower condition W600? Have any surfaced in the $1000 range lately?

I agree Bob, a pinkerton wagner would cost multiple thousands if I had to guess unless it was in two pieces. Heck, Im aware of a pinkerton postcard matty (sgc 50) that just sold for just a hair under 1k very recently.
