This is really a monumental event. For those who haven't been fortunate enough to see the collection I will describe my impression of it when I was lucky enough to see it for the first time.

I had been putting together a collection of tough 50s regionals and pre-war PCL cards for about 5 years. I worked on my collection almost daily and had put significant funds into it. When I visited the collection, my entire collection was housed in a one or two binders in their collection.
There were shelves full of binders.
There were 4 or 5 rooms full of shelves full of binders.
There was a main showroom which a few of my cards would have been good enough to be displayed in.

The main showroom is larger than my house.

Your "significant funds" is probably their pocket change.

I've never seen it, but I have heard of their ridiculous Old Judge collection. I hope Legendary doesn't get too lazy and lists some in win-able lots

I contacted Doug Allen today, and he said the only items that are going to be offered via private treaties are the 7 items that are referenced in the newsletter. Everything else will be offered in an auction format over the next 2 years.

He said there will also be a marketing brochure that will be available in a few weeks.

Any thoughts on what that Wagner PSA 4 will sell for? Over $2 million?

Anybody know the story of where this Wagner originated?
