That is an amazing price and a big jump from the last time it sold. And multiple had to bid it up to that price so it means that is the market and some are willing to accepted restored cards

Perhaps we will see more restorations in the future on special cards

Would not surprise me in the slightest. We've already seen altered cards sell for big bucks, in most case though they're missing the designation of being altered but that's a conversation for another thread.

I will never mind it as long as it is labeled as restored so collectors or buyers can make informed choices based on the correct information

The restored Wagner in milehigh sold for $800k+/- (70%) more than it sold for in 2021. That is pretty amazing. I think it has to do with it being a Wagner, not the acceptance of restoration.


The value of all things Wagner, especially portraits, have exploded in 2023- a rather common blue M116 sold for just under $53k last night in memory lane. An SGC 3 sold for $16.8k in April of this year and a PSA 3.5 sold for $10.2k in 2021. This is not a rare card. Look what has happened to the E90-2 and Tip Tops lately. Indeed, all Warner’s have exploded, including the e92/e101 throwing and batting, the E95, the M101-4/5. Who knows what an e103 and an e104-2 would sell for. Wagner is crazy hot. The t206 is the ultimate Wagner, it’s the ultimate card. A believe the winner of the restored Wagner wanted a t206 Wagner, come hell or high water, and they didn’t care if it was restored or pulled from the ass of a gorilla.

T206 Wagners are like NFL franchises. The one in Milehigh is like the Lions (who look great this year). They can’t all be Cowboys, 49ers, and Chiefs. The owner of the Lions still owns a football team and the owner of the restored Wagner still owns a Wagner.

I agree with Ryan. The card is a T206 Wagner restored

Only nit I would pick is that every Wagner is on fire except the E254, the one I own.

Ryan Well Said!

Yes Ryan. I agree +1. All Wagners are benefitting from the press , popularity and incredible sells prices on the T206. I am not sure what that means for Wagner cabinets like W600, an M110, or T5 Pinkerton. All must be as rare as the T206 but obviously way less in demand. Still using the supply and demand curve from college Econ may be the simple answer. I have this W600. I can't seem to part with it yet...
