Wagners at the National

[Archive]

Posted By: Joe P.

Back in the late '80's early '90's, I was keeping an ownership track record of the Wagner's.
Why it was almost better than the genealogical research that I've been doing on my family.
It even included a Wagner that was put on auction by a friend of mine and won by an attorney out in California for $7,000.00.
Yes, 7 G's not 70 G's.
Before you ask me to send you a case of your favorite nectar - let me explain, and describe.
Let me see, the easiest way would be to put it this way.
Visualize if you will, (and try not to cry) a tobacco card that gives you the appearance that two Pit Bulls fought over it.
In other words, if you can visualize an irregular hour glass, you're getting the picture.
Back to your question, at that time, I knew where 45 of the Wagner's held court.
It was just me doing the research, and as more of them kept popping up, I lost interest.
Like yourself, 100+ wouldn't surprise me.
It's the only card I need, but I'm not about to even think of the asking price for the second hardest card in the set.
Happy collecting, and keep searching.
