New E107 Wagner discovery?

[e107collector]

I was reading the thread regarding the Louisiana Find on the Full Count vintage forum, and they were saying it has been a great month - first the E-107 Wagner, and now the T207 red cross cards.

I tried to search their site, but came up empty. Does anyone know if there has been a new discovery of this card? If so, can someone post a link to the story or a picture of the card?

Thanks,
Tony

I'm pretty sure they are referring to one of the members of that forum (I believe he is over here too) having picked up an E107 Wagner that had been one of his "ultimate" cards to obtain for a long time. It wasn't a new E107 Wags discovery (unless I'm mistaken).

Tony,

I think this is the Wagner that a board member over on Full Count recently picked up (not sure if he posts over here)...

I thought it may have been a new discovery, but the card shown above does belong to a fellow board member that he purchased this year. I talked to him about it a few weeks ago.

I'm sure he will chime in, he has an awesome HOF E107 collection.

Card originated from the large (approx 140 cards) Lipset Lot of a few years ago. Didn't know it had been separated from that group and thought it, together with the others in the Lot, was traded off for a T206 Wagner last year.

From that auction before being slabbed:

The shown card is mine and was a recent pickup for me. Though I certainly appreciate the compliment (thank you Tony), my small collection pales to many, many other collections here. That said, my well-loved E107 Wagner is not new to the hobby (just new to me) and was not part of the mentioned big trade of a few years ago (2008 or so).

You do certainly know how to get my attention with thread titles, though... I'll give you that!

Brian, that is absolutely an AWESOME card!!! I can imagine how terrific you must feel to add that one to an already great collection!

Best regards,

Great pick-up, Brian. Love that Wagner.

Brian, congrats on that E107 Wagner pickup. Certainly a difficult card to locate. Not to mention $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

One of the great cards in this hobby. Congratulations again, Brian!

Brian,

Congrats on that card. In my opinion, it is definitely one of the most important cards in the hobby and one of my personal favorites.

Whether or not is an inexpensive or expensive card it is always special to be able to scatch a key card off of your want list. Now you just have to find a Mathewson to match it.

Maybe the same consignor with a hidden reserve each time and the card ends up going back to them.............

Phil, you may be right, who knows?

Some previous results (includes bp):

$79K - Mile High March 2009
$53K - Mile High Oct 2009
$66K - Goodwin July 2011
$58k - Memory Lane Aug 2011

Since Mile High first auctioned the card, the final prices haven't come close to the $79K. It will be interesting to see what it sells for in Dec 2011.
