The trend in Wagner cards

[Republicaninmass]

Cards have been around 100 years. Now all of a sudden there is a tremendous surge in demand. People just found out baseball cards exist, or new buyers are speculating user the greater fool theory. This doesn't count the 1% on the board of which money is basically no object.

Saw quite a few of my cards get silly prices in memory lane, only to be sold at half or less via goldin weeks/months later

Congrats on getting out at the top!

Certainly astronomical silly prices give us a lot more to think about when all of that sweet bread could buy a lot of other exciting things, but only if we're willing to part with some of our cardboard, potentially forever.

How many of these were Wagners? I am not sure all cards/players are equal and, thus, may not all follow the same trends. I am not saying Wagners won’t be worth half in weeks/months, but I really doubt they will be.

No Wags, but Much lower pops, wasn't that one reason the last one sold so high?


I just can't fathom why all of a sudden sportcards around for 100 years are going ballistic. If wagners dropped 50% I'm sure plenty of people would pick up the pieces as there is demand.


When you look at a piece of cardboard vs. A porsche or a Tuscan villa, whatever floats your boat, it puts life in perspective. I don't know everyone's end game, but at some point either we or our family sell. I guess if one has it all, why not. Buy what makes you happy.
