For a card with so many problems, JimB's Wagner has great surface and color! IMHO |

What about the e90-1 mitchell or the e97 sullivan's. They're a lot f+#k$in rarer than the "common" Wagner? |

The reason that the T206 Wagner is THE Holy Grail card is because having that card alone raises the prices of all the other Wagner cards. If there never was a T206 Wagner card, the other Wagner cards would be cheaper. I'm not saying cheap. But because the T206 has such notoriety, all other Wagner cards are inflated in price. I don't think any other card holds that kind of clout. |

a N300 Kid Nichols. I bid a ridiculous $777 for a trimmed and skinned version on Ebay a few months back and still got sniped. I shoulda bought Jeff Sackman's Nichols a few years back for $280 !!! |

The trimmed and skinned version that recently sold on ebay was the same card that Jeff Sackman was selling. I thought that I would lose money on it, but it turned out much better than expected. |

I agree with Cy. The T206 Wagner has increased Wagner's popularity and desirability at least two-fold. Any estimate's on a T206 Wagner portrait, say if it was as common as the T206 Cobb/Red portrait. |

PSA has created a separate registry set for what they consider to be the top ten cards in the entire hobby. The list is considerably different than the ones that forum members have created, but the ten cards that PSA has chosen probably represents the "Holy Grail" for most hobbyists. Here they are: |

I would guess that if the Wagner were as common as other T206s, it would be worth about what a Mathewson or Johnson is worth. He is definately a top tier HOF from his era. Many considered him the best, even better than Cobb. I agree that other issues of Wagner have benefited some from the desirablity and popularity of the T206, but let's not underestimate the greatness of Wagner as a player. It is no accident that the Wagner is worth about 20 times what the Plank is worth in low grade. We all know Plank was a HOFer too and his T206 is just about as hard to find as the Wagner. |

Wagner was certainly a great player--One of the Gods of the Game. |

One small vote for the T204 Walter Johnson with a TTT reverse. Not the holy grail for sure but should make the list. |

Does anybody have a scan of this card? I've always wondered what it looks like. |

You can see a picture of that Ruth on the Robert Edwards Auctions website. They are auctioning a PSA 4 in their April auction. You can find a link in the links section here. |
