I just finish to read the book : The card by michael o keeffe.
And i have 1 question : Anyone here have more info about the provenance of the gretzky wagner before Mr Ray owned it in 1985 ? Any other info on this card provenance since the book was edited 2008 ? |

Search the board for the McNall Gretzky Wagner and you'll see some of the answer to this--I think we'd all like to know who this card once belonged to, and how good that person was with scissors. Mystery!

I though the card was altered after 85. Then slabbed by none other than PSA

but before 1985 anyone have any new info about the provenance of the card ?
the fact that the card was altered or trimmed is only speculation, theorie , no ? |

I have not seen anything tracing it back beyond Alan Ray.

Ray would not say where he acquired the card, to this day keeping mum about what the card was up to between 1909 and 1986. He was forced to sell it because of "a money situation," Ray was quoted as saying in a 2001 New York Daily News article by O'Keeffe and colleague Bill Madden, which first traced the buying-and-selling history of the card.
