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!

I think Wags all day long.... but we will see.

I think Wagner will go highest just because it is sooooo iconic but the Cobb will go for a stupid amount as well. 2 really big hitters in one auction!

I likewise would love to own the Wagner. As I don't think my government pension will stretch, I will be relying on Powerball.

I don't know that the Wagner will go for double the Cobb. IIRC, the PSA 4.5 is the highest-graded Cobb back, and it came from the "Lucky-7" find.

I think both will hit the $1M mark.

Steve, I agree with you. I think the Wagner goes for more, but the highest graded Cobb/Cobb with the Lucky 7 provenance is very worthy indeed. I think they both go over $1mm, the Wagner sells for a bid or two more, and they both land somewhere in the $1mm-$1.2mm range. Then again, I was confident that my max amount would be sufficient to be the high bidder on the Type 2 W600 Wagner that was in the last Heritage Auction, and I got totally blown out of the water (not even close), so my predictions are very fallible!

[swarmee]

My guess is that neither hits the reserve, presuming the reserve bid is 80% of the purchase price.

I'll take under $1 million for the Cobb/Cobb. I think you guys are delusional.

It has already sold for more than $1 million once.
