Marshall fogel the greatest collection in the world

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.

I have to agree with Jay, Fogel has a great collection, but it is not just all about the grading and condition. If you are a Registry worshipper and grading is what counts most, then maybe. But if a true collector, I feel rarity and historical importance are so much more significant. Many of us on here have items that are so much rarer (and with possibly more historical significance) than probably anything Fogel has in his collection. It isn't necessarily all just about dollars and cents, and/or the grade on the slab.
