The PSA8 Wagner... I don't get it.

[sportscollector]

I think the hobby should dump that wagner as the face of the hobby and replace it with either the highest grade Baltimore news babe ruth or one of the PSA 10 1952 topps mickey mantle's I bet if one of the 3 PSA 10 mantles were ever to hit the auction block it would go for close to 3 million

That would be a sign that we were in a period of hyper-inflation to me.

The "hobby" didn't get to choose the "face" of the hobby.

The fact that people who are not involved in the hobby know about the Wagner is what makes it the "face of the hobby"

Laughing out loud. And, if you win that bet, then the world has found it's next idiot.

I think it could hit a million no way on 3. Especially Marshall's example which seems to be the best of the three psa 10s.

There are three PSA 10 mantles? Where'd the other 2 come from? I remember reading, around 12 years ago, that there was only 1. It sold for around 250k back then.

As it's the 21st century, I think the face of the hobby should be a card of a woman or racial minority. Or perhaps someone not associated with baseball.

Agreed, it might as well be BHO. A minority illegal alien woman who has nothing to do with baseball. (that's a sarcastic smiley just for the record)
