The E94 Wagner sale is nuts. Yes, it is a gorgeous example and gold is a tougher combo, by holy cow did that shatter all prior records by many multiples. I think the only person who was not (very off) was the immediate underbidder.

Was there a potential bump in it, either from being undergraded or possibly being a candidate for.. uh.. improvement? Sometimes that explains crazy prices.

Here's the card, its a solid green label 5, would not make a 6 with today's standards.

I'm no expert on the issue but I really liked the yellow for its aesthetic and because Ole Hans was a Pirate. A lot of those cards are red and some are green, so maybe the color variation was a factor.

yellow and purple are typically the tougher e94's...aside from orange obviously. it seems that in many issues pop reports are now contributing to big prices more so than in the past.

Here is a semi-oddball Wagner I have had for a long time. You don't see these things come up on auction, so darn hard to figure current market value with the real scarce stuff.

Love that Tin Top Wagner. Beautiful.
