T206 Wagner no longer the world's most expensive baseball card

Even that PSA 5MC Wagner is worth more than the Trout. You point to a sale from 4 years ago while the Trout sold for 400k 2 years ago. The jumbo Wagner is gone up a lot in 4 years considering the PSA 2 that sold last year for almost double what it sold for a few years earlier. All premium cards have gone way up recently, not just this Trout.

Very nicely stated. There is little question that a number of cards out there would sell for more than the Trout being discussed, including the PSA 4 Baltimore News Ruth, the three (? Haven't check the pop reports lately) PSA 10 '52 Topps Mantles, and the Wagner referenced above. And IMHO, the vintage cards will be going up, not down, over the long-term. I don't believe that will be the case for Trout over a decade or so.

Best wishes,
