The final price was over 2.5x what this restored Wagner sold for in December of 2018 ($420k). Putting things in that context, I think the SCP Wagner did relatively well

I don't keep up with Wagners but curious if you think it would have had a similar gain over that time in original condition or done better/worse? What's the lowest recent sale on a beat up Wagner?

There has been a small explosion of Wagner sales in the past 1.5 years and the value of the card has gone up a ton. I think the sales price of this restored Wagner vs the one in 2018 (almost 3x) is on par with the relative apperception of all Wagners, regardless of grade.

Regarding the value of this card restored vs it’s original condition, I think it would sell for more in its original condition.

This. And I hope it might serve as a warning.

+1 I agree with Hank

Hopefully it is a warning/learning for others
