If you found a Wagner...

[frankbmd]

I would make sure it became designated as the

"Burke++ Wagner"

then I would increase the Monster Number value of this card to 480,

then I would sell it as the only MN premium card ,

and buy a tropical prewar island.

[Section103]

I couldn't sell it fast enough.

What if I told you you could sell it for $1 million today or $5 million in 4 years. Could you not wait 4 measly years?

Yup, that'd be the smart move.

Personally I would sell today. In 4 measly years I could be dead, car crash, cancer, or a plethora of other really bad things could happen in that time. The old 1 bird in the hand is better than 4 in the bush thing.

I'd ask where you are getting your information from, and if you had some good stock tips as well.

[Louieman]

No doubt I'd sell it. I don't trust the market for the Wagner to simply keep increasing in value forever and ever and ever. Plus I don't even like the look of it. I could maximize my own collection with a tiny amount of the profits, and not have to worry about money for the rest of my life. Easy, easy answer for me.

LOL...just looking at past prices and guesstimating future prices. Certain cards (this one, 1952 Topps Mantle, etc), have NEVER gone down in value. Not saying they can't....just looking at what they have done in the past.

Its a bit of a false equivalency. I could also sell it now, invest every nickel of the proceeds and hope to outgrow the value of the card 4 years down the road. You can make money in cards and you can lose your rear in cards too. Not many financial analysts tout cards as the wisest investment approach and that's not entirely without reason.

At a minimum, I can invest to hedge against the risk of a value drop or stagnation.

[Tripredacus]

For me, if I found one that was worth a decent amount and also found a person that has wanted one for a long time, then yes I would sell. I am this way in any way. In the past I have come across items and I knew people who were looking for the exact thing and I would offer to them, but I would not actively shop the item.

id enjoy it for a spell...then sell and buy my dream house!

You could give it to me and then I would have a monster number of 1160.

As a Pirates fan and someone with 522 different T206's, I would definitely keep it.

[Rich Klein]

I'd call LEON since he has all the contacts, tell him its 10 percent to him and let him sell the darn card

[coolshemp]

Great answers! Kinda (very) hypothetical, but fun to dream about, like winning powerball!

[Jeffrompa]

I would troll the site for a couple years showing it as a fake . Then put it on EBay starting at 99 cents .

The best I've heard. Are you going to take the photo in front of a mirror? Someone has an example of that picture around here.

Frank, I'm all in for a tropical prewar island, as long as Tattoo says "Da card! Da Card!" each time new auction winnings arrive.

[gemmint77]

Keep it for a week, then sell that Wagner!!!

[tab]

I would keep it for as long as I could! Then I would have to sell it at some point. I would also be afraid of burglary if someone found out about it. Hard to enjoy it if it's locked up in a bank vault.

I could only hope that I would find two. One to keep and one to sell.
