I'd hate to think he actually succeeded in transforming it into the highest-valued Wagner, even though the alteration was discovered and his confession made public.

In fact, if his alteration did in fact enhance it's value, with everyone in full knowledge (now) of what was done... who was actually damaged and where's the crime?

I don't even know if that was among the crimes he was actually charged with. There were plenty to choose from besides that.

Ken is probably correct in his estimate based upon other ridiculous prices that are being realized right now. God knows I wish I had my 2 -1969 Topps Ryan's back along with the SGC 96 Clemente rookie. If these rookie prices are astronomical these days, what is a solid Wagner going to bring? Don't be shocked if this card exceeds $5 Mill......

I should start a gofundme page. Hopefully everyone here will help me get that card!

I couldn't afford the trimmings off Mastro's cutting table. I wonder if those will ever go up for sale?

$5 million (or whatever the card will sell for) is pocket change for some guys

Don't worry about any alteration....This card is going to blow that one out of the water....

I wonder where the writer got this from: "As a result, there were only about 200 Wagner cards made,..." I don't recall ever seeing an estimate of how many T206 Wagners were printed, but I have to think the number is many times greater than 200.

There is no question that people are paying stupid money regarding post war cards like the 1952 Mantles, however, my observation over the last few years is that prewar cards prices have started to trend in the opposite direction.

I think he made up that and some other stuff too. I believe it is a called a fairytale when you do that.


My estimate is 2.78M after juice
