This may have already been discussed many times before, but if the Gretzky Peidmont Wagner is ever truely proven without a shadow of a doubt to be trimmed, which Wagner will reign supreme as the best known, unaltered example? Any ideas???

There is a raw one in the MidWest that is a 6 or 7.

I believe there are a few in the ex to ex/mt range. I have not seen all of them, but Scott Ireland's would certainly be up there if not the best.

There are two veteran collectors that have T206 Wagner's that are ExMt. One is ungraded and the 2nd one may have been graded
by now. We really do not realize how many T206 sets are out there, since there are "old school" collectors who enjoy their privacy.

I read the title quickly and was thinking:

e103, then e107, then e90-2

The photo says the card was donated. I thought that card sold in the Leland auction

Hal,

Nice card, Honus Wagner promoting a .10 cigar, looks like there couldn't have been much truth to him pulling his card from the T-206 set because of his objection to smoking.

How can you donate something that you sold?

I explained this before a while ago.

I knew the buyer of the card (a guy on this site) and he let me know he had purchased it after the auction ended.

I ended up buying it back from him for a quick small profit on his part.

I wanted to donate it to the HOF in Cooperstown all along... but needed to get a true "fair market value" for the card, so it had to sell on the open market to come up with that price.

So you sold the card just so that you could buy it back and donate it? And in order to donate it you needed to get a fair market value so that you could take the appropriate tax write-off?

Darn. I guess an appraiser's letter wouldn't have worked.

Cough, cough.
