did not realize tongue-in-cheekness of said comment. All good....

sorry, just come here to unwind and relax and enjoy the hobby, and am getting tired of negative comments all around lately (grading sucks, PSA sucks, that autograph sucks, etc.). My bad.

For the record, I don't mind trade cards being called baseball cards. The Peck & Snyder trade cards being called baseball cards does not offended my senses. Though I understand some are using the definition of baseball cards as being 'trading' cards-- meaning, cards that were meant for the general public to be collected. I understand that reasoning.

It should be noted that the Peck & Snyder CDVs, as opposed to the trade cards, were sold to the public via the catalog. I would think they'd fit the definition of trading cards.

However you wanna classify it, I would LOVE TO OWN THIS HONUS WAGNER (card)!!!!

Type card collecting sucks too .

Reccius actually went for a lot less than I thought it would ($21.4).

Apparently, Honus Wagner's rookie and Ozzie Smith's rookie are worth about the same. Makes sense.

I think the fact the Reccius has never been positively and empirically dated has hurt it's value. If an exact date gets discovered it's value will increase. Still a great card and fortunately, the way it's dated now, it falls a bit out of my collecting focus. (thank goodness as 21k still isn't too cheap)

I also did quite a bit of research on the card date at the time Hal purchased the original find. I had passed back then because I was convinced in was issued after his days in Pittsburgh, not during his playing days in Louisville. Nothing I have seen has changed my mind. Still a great item!

If the exact date is confirmed I think the value will go down. I'm pretty confident it's an early 20th century issue and not a rookie card. Still rare and neat, but not issued in 1897.
