FS: SOLD: E93 Honus Wagner (beater)

[Paul S]

I have been getting PMs about the Wagner so let me answer some questions here:

Q: How'd ya get it?
A: About 1968 when I lived in Los Angeles I bought a large stack of forty-five
E90-1s (Brianp now has three of them - Hi Brian!) from "Goodie" Goldfadden. Included in this stack was the E93 Wagner. Every single card from that stack exhibit the same traits (see scan below). All have been in my possession from from that time.

Q: Will the Wagz grade? (Meaning, alterations)
A: Yes, meaning it would, by general consenus and grading guidelines.

Q: Why didn't you grade it yourself?
A: All of the cards I have are raw and obtained long before card grading existed. The only time cards of mine have been graded is when I consign and the AH does it for me. (In fact, I have never held any of the graded versions in my own hand!). In this instance, I didn't want to wait for a fall auction.

Q: How many Wagners can fit on the head of a pin?
A: _________ -______


Here is a scan of some of the E90-1s from which Hans emerged; all suffer the same imperfections. Thanks for reading and please ask about anything I haven't covered here. - Paul
