T206 Wagner PSA 2 sold for $1.2M

[MHCC]

Just wanted to attempt to make it clear that although the press release from SCP stated that the Wagner was sold recently it actually was sold to our consignor last October/November and it will be sold in my October 2019 auction

Brian-Is it true that the regraded Boston Store Ruth will be in your auction and, if so, was it consigned or is it yours?

Brian, congrats on the consignment- it’s a hell of a centerpiece for your next auction.

So why is a story released today on a sale last year.

[MHCC]

Jay,
It’s true that the Boston Store Ruth is in my next auction and it was consigned and isn’t mine. Peter, to answer your question, I really don’t have the foggiest idea why SCP issued the PR that long after the sale. It absolutely doesn’t make sense and I’m not sure of the motive other than taking credit for a record sale while they could before it became known that the card will be offered by my company.

And Thank You Ryan for the kind words regarding the Wagner, it certainly is a great centerpiece as is the Cobb/Cobb PSA 4.5!

Which brings a higher hammer -- a T206 Wagner PSA 2 or a PSA 4.5 Cobb/Cobb Back? Thats a toughie, but I sure cant wait to see!

Thank you for clarifying the time-frame for us Brian.

I agree that it is a great card, and, as a T206 collector, I really wish it (and the Plank) weren't so darned rare; so I could complete my set.

Garbage card, garbage set.

Give me a Voskamps or a Gilmartin.
