T206 Honus Wagner SGC 5 - John D. Wagner Collection

[rand1com]

The card is a 5 only in SGC's dreams.

It is a nice looking Wagner and may be the best one discounting the trimmed PSA 8 but the card would get a 3,3.5, or maybe a 4 on a good day for a regular collector.

The corner wear is even but unfortunately way too severe to warrant a 5.

This is way too high profile a card to grade it so favorably. Its unquestionably a 3.5 by their standards. An obvious attempt to create some buzz and or do a high profile client a solid. I'm a big SGC guy and am truly disappointed.

The #1 issue is it shows that they can be dishonest. I don't know how this particular grading could not be described as an example of corruption.

Fairly certain the current owner of this card is also the owner of the recently sold Baltimore News Ruth from the last year or so.

The most expensive 1 numerical grade jump in sport cards history

The Wagner at the Hall of Fame is in better condition, in my opinion.

Agreed, it is really phenomenal. Whoever donated it was very generous.
And I hope they have a lot of security for it. I didn’t see anyone guarding when I was there a month ago.
