I for one, and I know at least one other Forum member, have
seen and held this Wagner quite a few years before it became
famous.
We saw this card at the Willow Grove (PA) Show in the late '80s.
One of the great "happenings" of this Show would occur prior to
its start. All the dealers and veteran collectors would arrive at
the Motor Lodge there by noon (Fri) and some of the best BB card
deals would be transacted in the rooms of the Lodge.
Well, the talk of the Show that weekend was this very Wagner.
Everyone was checking it out and the price on it (if memory
serves me) was something like $30,000. Too rich for most of us.
Furthermore, the concensus of opinion of most of us was that it
appeared "trimmed".
You wondered if anyone saw it in the RAW, well there are at
least two who have right here. I will leave it up to the others
to speak for themselves.
