I would rather hear the story behind each T206 Honus Wagner. How the person obtained it - flea market, yard sale, grandfather, etc. To me that is soo much more interesting to me as a collector - it is about the 'find'. |

I don't think any were found at flea markets or yard sales. |

Hmm, I disagree about the reality of that threat. It's a legit scenario, but I don't really think a low-grade Wagner is gonna draw as much attention to be paranoid. In fact, I swear I've seen someone post a beater Wagner on these boards before. Unless you've got a Wagner that you draw huge attention to by claiming it challenges the condition of "The Card", I don't think your chances of getting killed/robbed are any larger than the norm. |

Barry, this is kind of off topic. How many known 1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth cards are in existence? I've only been able to find information on the one card that recently sold for $250+ at Mastro's auction(?). I read an article about the owner of the card. It was quite interesting. Supposedly, this old man had bought various baseball cards throughout the years at various flea markets and yard sales - accumulating a modest collection. Apparently, after he died his family went through his stuff and amongst the other cards - they found the RARE Baltimore News Babe Ruth. |

There are probably at least 10 Baltimore News cards known, with more still being found. They come in red and blue with red being the more difficult color. |

Wow, your friend found two of them in each color? That is amazing! Sounds like there may be alot more out there. That is good for the health of the hobby knowing there is still a chance for the little guy to obtain a great card. Barry, as always, thanks for your information. |

You're welcome, but I just want to point out my friend didn't find two of them, he bought them. It's not like he was rummaging through a box of postcards at a flea market and they just happened to be there. They cost real money. |

Well, with my budget, rummaging through flea markets, yard sales is what I have to hope for to obtain a card like that. |

There is still a terrific story about a kid buying a Mantle rookie for $20 at a garage sale in Sacramento probably 5 to 7 years ago now. He offered the seller $10 who told him no, and he gave the guy $10 to hold it and it took him 2 hours to talk his dad out of $10 more to pay for the card. Which he did - it later sold for $55k at auction I believe. |

Many people who own a T206 Wagner wouldn't say so on this board. There may be others, but I know of one board member who owned one. |
