Marshall fogel the greatest collection in the world

He would also have no E107s or W600s, etc. No T206 Wagner, no Baltimore News Ruth, no T210 Jackson, no E107 Wagner, probably no Ruth rookie, no W600 Cobb. For me it would be really hard to call this the greatest card collection in the hobby.

There was a t206 Wagner in that video.

Marshall said every card in his collection was PSA 8 or above and we know where the only 8 is.

My thoughts precisely. Unless perhaps he was making a tacit mental exception for that card while making that declaration.

He showed an ungraded Wagner that appeared to be in high grade (for Wagner) but certainly not an 8.

Gotcha. I guess his statements around grades didn't include that piece.

The only T206 WAGNER I saw was a reprint on the Wagner photo.

Same here. That Horner photo is amazing.
