Jim, Tim and Art at t206resource are the people to thank for the great list that they started and keep updated.


Here's the Wagner Gallery on the site, there's a scan of the Wagner before it was graded (#32)

Very cool. Interesting that not a single example came up for sale publicly during the decade of the 80s when the hobby was exploding. No doubt the price paid for the Gretzky in '91 brought about much of the action in that decade. I'd love to see a chronological list of the sales of each particular card to highlight the movement in prices realized over time.

I was at a local auction in, I believe New Milford, Connecticut back in the mid 1980's and watched one sell for $36,000. I did not have $36,000. Thought it was a good deal. The buyer was from Cooperstown.

Larry Fritsch, maybe, wasn't his shop in Cooperstown then? And I'd think that event would have made it into the hobby press at the time, but perhaps not if the auction was strictly a local affair. On the other hand, that would have been the record for a baseball card at that time, right, assuming Mastro paid $25,000 for his uncut sheet, and should have made something of a splash nationally. Anybody else heard about this auction?

If it's the same one,

Woodbury Ct. Nutmeg Auctions.

I was also there. They waited for the eventual buyer to arrive, moving on to other lots after a brief delay then going back to it once he arrived.

I still have the auction catalog somewhere.

What got funny was that the card was a pretty clear f-p, creased and writing on the back. Over the next year it was offered by a string of dealers in SCD, and each time it's grade got better.... Not alterations, just wishful grading. Last ad was I think for 9K and calling it VG.
