Thanks for your thoughts on this. Some interesting and diverse ways of looking at the market.
This is one of the great things about these threads and these Forums

either way I enjoy my Collection and seeing others collections and the chase in trying to get the cards we all want

Just looked at your collection...very nice. Much to envy there.

What stands out to me is that it looks like this Wagner is crease (and maybe even wrinkle) free, and wondering just how much people will pay up for such a rare chance to get their hands on a clean one. Especially at this point in the marketplace.

I'll guess 7.5 million, but wouldn't be surprised if it pushes 10

The card definitely has creasing to the right of Wagner's face. I agree with your pricing. I think it will break 7 million and I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks 10. This is the best card to hit the market since the 5MC Wagner. That card might break 20 million today.

I couldn't tell if it was just scratches to the right of his face (plus there's a fairly bad edge spot over in that area too). One the back it does look wrinkled in that area, but the card stock on the back of those comes off so wrinkly all over that I can't tell about that either.

The t206 experts here would have a much better idea.

Regardless, it's close enough to clean that yep, the sky might still be the limit

Thanks and appreciated.

Trying to grow it strategically

Its a Labor of Love

A very slow process

WOW

For a Rare card there are alot of T206 Wagners coming up for auction

I just received an email from SCP Auctions that their next auction will include a T206 Wagner PSA Authentic

More To come

What I am noticing drying up are the nice cards that people with ordinary incomes can afford - the $1.k benchmark investment up to $10.k Nice mid grade+ T206 HOFers are getting more scarce all the time. And the near-perfect centered cards (high end for the grade) of post-war HOFers are definitely drying up.

Seems like there are always big dollar cards available - Heritage, REA, Memory Lane, like wow ! They always seem to have a surprisingly impressive inventory of $10.k+ type cards.

The card has gone up 400% in the last year. People who are into the card at a much lower price are taking profits instead of having their insuance bill go up 400%.

lol... Time to break out a poster I created a few years back...

There wasn't a frenzy around bidding on this for some reason... and it has REALLY sharp corners!

Nice, lots of good memories at Slims and Bimbos365, I would have bid on that card.

Ha ha... Yeah. Slim's and Bimbos are fantastic places to see a show.
Bimbos especially feels like you're walking into the past.

"The card was branded Authentic/Restored by PSA primarily because of some creases that were touched up in the background of the card, which is otherwise completely original"

I'm not sure the touched up creases are the main issue with that one.

[atx840]

Broke 4 million

[Johnny630]

(Restored)

Since when has PSA been slabbing with that statement ?

Not that I could ever afford one
But I actually do not like it "restored" to me that means altered and it also means it is not original anymore
I actually think the look of the card prior to the restoration has more character.
But I guess for the money that it will go for it is about the eye appeal

I agree, looked better before. Looks fake now.
