New T206 Wagner?

[GasHouseGang]

Could it be the 3rd row, 3rd column Wagner?

Gotta be - pretty unique mark on the top left quadrant of the card

Looks like it. Maybe the scanner contrast turned up on the graded version to flatten out a lot of the edge wear you can see in that collage shot.

I wonder if that's a reholder, because no way that's a 2.5 with the way SGC has been grading things lately.

I blew up the collage photo and trimmed out the 3rd row/3rd column card. It looks like the same card, but the edges don't look as rough in the graded copy.

Don't think it's any funny business, I think that's just the function of the scanner setting turning the contrast up on the graded copy and flattening out the whitish edges.

Also, makes that scuff mark look more pronounced in the process.

@Bryan, the grid of Wagners seems to be from here.

From the collage, it is interesting to note the wide awake Honus versus the sleepy Honus. Here are examples next to each other in the third row.

I am sure SGC cupped the owners sack while he graded it himself just like PSA does. We don't have enough money to get preferential treatment like that.

IMO I agree that the borders look like they have been pressed. Also why use SGC when you know a PSA holder brings more? Probably ten of thousands more easily.

First thought...what a beautiful card. You couldn't get deeper color or better registry if you tried.

Second thought...how the hell is that a 2.5 with that top edge alone?

A: It is the same card, just a difference in scans.

B: It hasn't been trimmed. Recently. It does look trimmed before.

For the same reason there will never be a 4th PSA 10 1952 Topps Mick...protect the integrity of what's already been graded and those investors/owners.

I wonder if 2.5 vsn is altered throughout. Something's off on it...seems much too bright and crisp...also, Wag's jersey on left side is bleeding/crosses over the card's inner boarder into the boarder.

It's "borders"; NOT "boarders"

"Boarders" are people (non-family members) who are living in someone else's house (such as a boarding house).

Where are those scans from?

It looks to me like the OP's card might be the one David suggests but that card doesn't seem to be listed on the T206 Resource:

I've posted this elsewhere but still worth noting. The Honus in lower left corner is a Dover reprint which was based off of the Honus directly above it.
