I would think that since the money for the card is going to a charity, that the final bid would be somewhat tax deductable. Perhaps that is fueling the high price?

I agree, any amount over the fair market value should be tax deductable. What is the fair market value? The fair market value is what it sells for in an open auction....

Ooooh, it's a right off.

Do you even know what a right off is?

No, but they do, and their the ones righting it off.

[Kawika]

Right on!

The fact that a restored Wagner didn't sell for 160k and this one is already at 180k says a lot to me.

Yah it says when it's time to sell your collection, grab yourself a few penguins and let them handle, forget Mr Mint.

I'm thinking of opening "Second to Nun Baseball Cards and Memorabilia Auctions".

I am sorry is this a Seinfeld quote or something? I don't understand.

[chaddurbin]

it's the mainstream media exposure...that cincy cdv on jay leno also went big bucks?

[barrysloate]

It's a Seinfeld quote...but it's a "write off." ( I know Quan loves when I correct spelling)

I'm far from an expert on the value of T206's, but when I saw that card up for Auction, I was thinking maybe $50k to $75k given the condition. I could understand why this card sold for such a premium back when they thought only 10-15 of them existed. But now that there is believed to be 60-80, I am amazed they sell at these levels. I wonder what the true population of the card is?

Rob,

Thanks for posting the pic of the card.

This is as good a place as any to ask:

We all know that the Gretzky is the highest-graded Wagner at PSA 8. What is the SECOND-highest graded? And anybody got a scan?

I'm pretty sure the Baseball Hall of Fame has one that is not graded, but would probably grade a "6" if I remember correctly.

I also think there are two raw examples that would grade a 5 or a 5.5.

Mastro auctioned off a PSA 5MC 2 years ago, that sold for over $1 million.

I think those are the highest examples in the hobby today, but I could be wrong.

Maybe someone else can chime in.

PSA graded a 5, 5(MC), and a 4. There are better examples out there that have never been graded. I have a scan of the 5(mc); I'll try to find it.

[e107collector]

I just checked Heritage's auction, the T-206 Wagner is at $262,900.

That price includes the bp.

Unbelievable.
