I really wanted the W600 Street Clothes Wagner. I even consigned a few cards to fray the cost (and I never consign). Holy crap, I never had a chance!! That card ended for double where I was willing to pay, and I thought I was paying up, considering a type I sold in the last year for $170k. I wonder if the high bidder new it was a type II. All I know is it doubled in price after I bowed out, which meant there were several people bidding on it who were willing to spend big money. The moral for me (after that and the whole t206 Johnson discussion) is that there are plenty of people - seasoned collectors and new investors - willing to pay relatively massive amounts for cards they really want, regardless of past comparisons. I have been guilty myself. God Bless’em.
