Ha. No Val, not me.

Jay, I can�t tell if your post is sarcastic, but the Wagner may have gone for more in a psa slab, although I doubt it- I think buyers of a t206 Wagner are buying the card not the slab

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Given the difference in prices seen for PSA vs SGC, I am curious if people think a PSA slab would have made any difference in price for a Wagner. I doubt it would have been double like the Jackie, and I agree with you that buying a Wagner is probably more about the card, but I would think a PSA slab would have seen a higher price just because PSA usually seems to.

i do not believe it would make 1 bit of difference. I mean PSA did grade the gretzky wagner...their first ever graded card...and they got that one wrong?

True, but it hasn't seemed to hurt the price, at least not yet.

If the winner wanted to cross it over to PSA, it would only cost $10,000 and if you paid $6M for the card, that seems pretty trivial.

I don't imagine you'd want to get out the old pliers and crack it out yourself, so you'd have to just hope it crosses over directly to a PSA 3

Has anyone done any investigative work to determine which Wagners were cracked/crossed over and what the true population is?

Agreed about not wanting to crack that case.
No idea about any cross overs

(Clipped from - Courier-Post newspaper - Camden, New Jersey -
21 March 1931) - WAGNER LIKED HIS BASEBALL - If Honus Wagner were 30 years younger would he be able to get as much out of baseball as Babe Ruth does? Hans wasn't much, of a go-getter in that respect. Even 25 years ago he had opportunities to "cash in". Can you remember back to those days when cigarette manufacturers included in each pack of cigarettes a picture of either a famous actress or some sports star. - They offered a Pittsburgh newspaper man $10 to get the permission of Wagner, Hans didn't wish to see the newspaper man lose a chance to make an extra, ten, but he objected to selling his picture to further the sale of a cigarette. - So instead of permitting his picture to be used, he gave the newspaper man ten dollars out of his own pocket, and told him to forgot it. Had Honus been as good a business man as 90 per cent of the present day diamond stars, he wouldn't have needed any coaxing to "muscle in" on anything and everything that brought in a few shekels. Instead, he placed the game above a few paltry dollars.

I don't think a PSA or SGC holder makes any difference when it comes to the Wagner though. With most other cards, yeah, generally the PSA will sell for more, but the Wagner is above that.
