Default Famous T-206 Wagner card

Posted By: Alan

Just curious, but how many of the real T-206 Wagner cards actually are known to exist ? Does one come up in the auction catalogs once a year ? less often ? more often ? Who owns the best known condition one ?

Also, what happened to that woman who won it some years ago with that Walmart(?) promotion ? I know she had to sell the card to pay the taxes. Still, did she come out ahead ?

Thanks.

Best estimates are that there are 50 or so real Wagners around.

Pricing is impossible to state, other than the last crappy condition one sold at auction fetched $132,000.

My understanding is that the winner of the K-Mart card netted a few hundred thousand off the deal.

This is where the best condition Wagner resides.
http://www.psacard.com/set_registry/display_cards.chtml?rsetid=2997&alltime=yes&rank=1&tied=0&requesttimeout=9999

The owner paid $1.26 million for the card graded nm/mt 8 by PSA. I believe there are 3 or 4 in the ex to ex/mt range (all but one ungraded), but none of them have been offered publically in more than ten years. It seems that one of the lesser grade examples are auctioned by one of the big auction houses every year or two. The vast majority of all the real Wagners are in the poor-good range. My guess would be that about 80-85% fall into that grade range.

No no no. I'm guessing between 50 and 70.

I believe the finest Wagner resides in the Hall of Fame, it is allegedly Ex-MT. I have never seen the card, however I believe it was Barry Halpers. There are supposedly 3 Ex/Ex+ examples one of which is the PSA 5 and two of which are owned by very serious collectors.

It's on tour right now in the "Baseball As America" exhibit. Currently at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and heading to Oakland in September. And yes, from the Barry Halper collection. It's nice, but I wouldn't call it ex-mt.

He says it's 100% authentic. I'd be happy if it were 2% authentic.

That's the first time I've ever heard Wagner threatened "to sew" if the card wasn't withdrawn from circulation. I'm sure the threat of Honus approaching with the sewing needle did the trick.
