Honus wagner in rea

[olrac44]

Will it help or hurt the overall price of t-206 wagner that 3 are up for auction in such a short period of time (Goodwin, REA, Memory Lane)?

I was thinking the same thing.
Are 3 One Million Dollar plus sales in a row possible?

Not sure if ML's wagner will get to $1M since it's been available for less than that recently.

I have no idea how the Memory Lane Wagner got a 2 from PSA. That's a POOR at best: Link. It's like there's a different grading scale for Wagners.

I dont often agree that 3rd parties overgrade because I generally use the pre-slabbing standards but I agree with you that Wagner is overgraded, even in the 1970's that was a fair condition card at best!

with a card like this - does the number on the flip, or the lack of a qualifier even matter? Having a number matters (as opposed to an authentic or altered)

I'm thinking the number in this case and the lack of qualifier doesn't matter at all.

The bidders will be able to see the front and back of the card - -
and quite frankly, the bidders' opinion means a heck of a lot more than the grader's opinion on this card.

Personally, I think it was the "Wagner" mystique that kept this out of the Poor-Fair conditioned category.

Yes, but PSA and SGC always try to do their best to grade honestly and accurately, as with the Piedmont 150 Plank. Surely they are aware of the "Wagner" mystique and would be careful not to be influenced by it when grading.
