Heck, it's only a 2. I'll wait for something better.

500K reserve?!

This is in nice condition for a Wagner but I don't see other cards getting a PSA 2 when corners are rounded so severely that there is loss of color. Even looks like a speck of paper loss along the top border. That being said... if I win the lottery tonight that baby is mine.

Fantastic job outing the auction Nelson! Thanks a lot!

Oh wait, I momentarily forgot I'm not rich. Here's the corrected image. Carry on!

Jim B pointed out this card to me at the National, my first Wagner in person...I should get it...because sentimental.

Agree -- that's a very generous "2"! Once again, Mr. Wagner gets the benefit of a little bit of "wiggle room" on the grading scale (eg. the Wagner with the stamp that eluded the MK qualifier, the PSA 8 Wagner, just to name a couple).

I sincerely would hope that in terms of hammer price, it doesn't matter if they made the even more egregious mistake of calling it a 3. I trust collectors' eyes to know what a card is and price it accordingly. We see it all the time with exeptional low grade cards that look like higher grades, and the market prices them way above the assigned grade.

I can't imagine some guys out there would pay 5 money for a card that is labeled a 5, but looks like a 3. Then again, the whole Registry thing can play into wanting a higher-numbered label I suppose.

Would like to add that I'd be very happy to own that card! Image hits the eye very well. Can't hate on it at all, regardless of what some arbitrarily assigned sticker says.

I'm shooting for the paltry $1 million prize, where the probability is a much more reasonable 1 in 18 million I believe. Won't be able to spring for the Wagner but look forward to filling a couple other gaps in my collection.

Always good to fill a few gaps.
