This was sold 6/7 months ago. I have seen the card in person and it's nice, strong color and just great eye appeal.

Default Mile High Card Co to auction T206 Wagner
It has come to my attention that this card has reached that national media. I'd like to inform the collecting community that we have acquired this T206 Honus Wagner PSA 2 as well as the 1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb/ Ty Cobb Reverse PSA 4.5 from the Lucky 7 find and each of the cards will be featured in my October 2019 auction and will be on display at the National in Chicago at the Mile High Card Co. booth. We will be issuing a Press Release concerning this next week

Why would you (or someone else) buy the Wagner outright for that much, just to turn around and immediately put it up for auction?

That just seems to be an awfully dangerous and risky move.

I won't speak for Brian (hey Brian) but he didn't say he bought it. I think it was consigned.

It's certainly great publicity for the auction.

The cards were consigned to the auction, we did not purchase the two cards.

I'm suspecting there will be a $1.2M reserve on it.

Paging Mr. Drent. Can you cancel all of your Moser submissions in this auction?
