I definitely would buy more than one!
GREAT IDEA ! Let's just hope that having 'PSA' on it would not cause legal grief. . .

It will be interesting if the current owner decides to sell it and it goes through a auction house how the slab will be presented. I assume the value could increase simply because of the publicity, it's still a valuable card no doubt. I'm interested in seeing what is going to happen to the slab and the grade and how it will be presented back to the hobby. Value aside this is the supposed flagship card (or one of them) of our hobby and of this particular grading company.

LOL! Well, if I get motivated over the next few days I'll see if I can create one on Zazzle and then everyone can order. Too funny...

My guess is that the Gretzky Wagner will begin to taper off in value, perhaps with its next sale. But, I've felt this way about vintage cards generally for some time due to aging baby boomers (like me) and possibly a general economic downturn [This is not intended as a political statement in any way, just a fearful concern.]. I suspect that the facts don't (yet) bear me out on this but don't follow auctions closely enough to know.
Can't help but weighing in on music reference. Just to show how musical taste is so subjective, and with all respect (seriously) to others, I've never been able to develop a taste for heavy metal (or rap for that matter). It seems to me that pop music, with some notable exceptions (Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons), has been heading downhill since the 70s (Springsteen, Doobies, Elton, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, et al.). On the other hand, some music strikes me as timeless (Ahmad Jamal, Leadbelly, lots of other jazz and blues). Never much cared for most classical music either although many folks I respect (including my wife) think most highly of it. Last edited by mark evans; 08-22-2015 at 05:29 PM. Reason: needed a comma |

And the 70s were downhill compared to the 60s. That stuff you cite was mostly derivative.

To me Mumford and Avett sound like copycat rock when I hear Fleet Foxes and Future Islands. It's all in the beholder and honestly I don't see vintage card prices drop until the expiration of the kids who collected in the late 80s and early 90s who are in their 30s now with buying power. I'm in that group and the fact that I can actually buy these vintage Wiliams Mantles etc after pouring over them in Becketts is truly awesome. I give it another 40 years or so until the kids who have grown into purchasing power age NEVER collected cards and never held a Beckett every month drooling over the 52 Mantle listing. Just my 2.

As to the value of the Wagner, to me the history of the card means that it will exclude buyers who might otherwise buy a Wagner, as well as bring in buyers who would not normally bid. The question is do the bidders who abstain represent a greater opportunity for higher price discovery than those brought in by the story. I personally think the celebrity status will bring in more deep pockets for the card than ever before... That having been said, if it sells again and misses its previous sale price, look out below.

I wouldn't argue with you, Peter. I didn't intend to cite the 70s as the pinnacle of pop music (perhaps poorly drafted), but rather its most recent notable period. But, again, this is very subjective stuff and I readily respect others who hear things differently.
