Jumbo Wags back up for sale...the history of the card.

[Touch'EmAll]

The Jumbo Wagner closes in 3 days on Saturday Oct. 1. Right now, Wednesday is at $1.9 million. My random crazy guess is ending at $5.5 to $6. million, be shocked if less then $4. million. My question is the (MC) designation - I have only seen severe off center get the (mc) - like (mc) is even worse than (oc). But this card has no (oc) properties, just extra boarder at bottom. Do you think the (mc) is correct for this card?

Probably gets a higher grade from SGC or BVG. But I don't think that matters to the people buying it. It is one of the best copies of the card there is.

Guess you are shocked as it sold for 3.185M.....still a tidy sum but for many below expectations..

Unrealistic expectations. The ~50% increase in a few years should have been expected. A 150-200% or more increase would be the shock.

1957 Drysdale PSA-9 was estimated at 15K, sold for $40K

Estimates are sometimes nothing more than marketing devices.

However, a good auction house will try to express some idea of what they believe the piece is worth. Really, in the end, if "the deep pockets" are on the scene and have done their research, the auction action will dictate the market price.

Still, 312K for the Lebron James autographed card? --Brian Powell
