The trend in Wagner cards

[toothcutter]

Who ever grabs the 5.5 wags under 85k is stealing that card

If it goes over 85 I am seriously considering trading my 5.

Pete, in my honest opinion, they have been undervalued for years. Do not sell. Cobb and Gehrig also. Under 85 for the 5.5 m116 is a steal!!

Pete, do you remember that 30 ticket lottery that Howard was running earlier this year for the complete M116 set?
I think tickets were 1300 each and we couldn't fill the spots. A fella could have had the whole set for under 40K, and from memory the Wagner and Cobb were really nice cards.

Indeed. My spider sense rarely trusts these sudden exponential price surges. If I could trade my Wagner for the right variation B 311, I would not look back.

I don't know, the way these cards have skyrocketed, taking a massive profit might not be an unreasonable "i" strategy. I bet there are a lot of collectors who'd wished they dumped their MJ rookies when the market was red-hot. That said, I think we are still on the rise with the Wagner. If I had one, I might be tempted to carry it another round or two, but I would most likely set an exit price and get out when it hits.

I am not familiar with a B 311?

Sorry for the lingo, isn't everyone Matty C? The second version of the 52T Mantle, #311.

Completely agree. I'd wager (a pittance) a few people are bidding up some of these cards looking for the greater fool. Time will tell, but as soon as a regular person goes to sell theirs, the prices don't seem as strong. Likely to be in Goldins next auction, and the one after that, and the one after that. Recently I checked a card history and it's been sold via auction 4 times in the past 2 years, 3 times via Goldin

Love the comments. The 5.5 centering wasnt that great. 72k respectful. Look at the 1.5 pastel on heritage. Will go for over 20k. Wagz running strong
