T206 Honus Wagner SGC 5 - John D. Wagner Collection

Do you think this card would sell for more or less if it was in a PSA 3.5 slab as opposed to the SGC 5?

I think it would go very strong no matter what but the 5 would bring in wallets who know less about eye appeal and cards and more about the measuring contest. SGC knew what they were doing when they pulled this stunt. Let's hear it for another fine moment in hobby history.

Though it probably isn't, this should be embarrassing for SGC. They have been seemingly grading everything shockingly low, and now this? Pathetic.

Just a couple:

+1 Agree it will sell more in the 5 Slab because non collectors but investors or people just want to have the "it item" are willing to pay and they pay based on the Slab and not the card.
