I think the only way we will see another Anson in uniform at auction is if a new one is discovered. I don't think any of the three current owners will ever sell unless they decide to part with their entire collections, and since I know all three owners well, I'm not holding my breath. The T206 Wagner, on the other hand, has become among the more common rarities in the hobby, with examples showing up with great regularity. There is yet another one in the December Mastronet sale. But there will never be a shortage of buyers for it. If both were in the same auction in VG condition, I think pricewise it would be pretty close and I'm not sure which would go higher. We can peg a VG Wagner around 250K, the Anson is an unknown quantity.
