Honus Wagner - The Flying Dutchman

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Thank you chiprop, Hugh, & Jeff.

Without any…let me rephrase…with very few tobacco cards issued of the Flying Dutchman, you can see that this thread is much more devoid of cards versus the Ty Cobb thread.

I would think that the dearth of cards available of Hans probably accounts for his relatively higher prices. I know that Wagner is a glaring hole in my “rookie” collection. I’m still holding out for an affordable NCP or M101-1.

Affordable used to mean $10K. Nowadays mid 5-figures. I'm still looking for one of those as well.

I used to have 2 M101-1's at different times as well as an 1896 Paterson team photo button issued by Whitehead & Hoag.

My only Wagner.

I paid $82.5k for my M101–1 graded BVG 2.5. I think it’s a $250k item in the future as the collecting/investing community continues to accept supplements as potential rookie pieces or “cards”. And, if/when PSA slabs these, look out. See what’s happened to M101-2 since PSA started slabbing them

Michael, that is a great piece

According to PSA's Pop Report they have graded 1 M101-1. I think a Delehanty graded A. I sent PSA an email a week ago asking if they still grade M101-1 and haven't heard back. Are we as a group sure they are NOT grading M101-1?

Not 100% sure but I believe they don’t fit inside their largest holder. The Delahanty was probably trimmed down to where it would fit, hence the “A” grade.

At that price point for the M101-1, I might have instead opted for the National Copper Plate that’s potentially a year older and has been sitting on eBay for years now. Listed for $75,000 as a BIN o/b/o. I would imagine that there is a good chance that $50K would do it. Looks very clean to me as well. I don’t know the seller personally but not sure how much faith I would have spending that kind of money there.
