I live in Northeast Indiana, and Northwest Ohio (about 30 minutes away) is known as the Great Black Swamp area from the time of the pioneers of our country when Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan were first settled. I haven't heard of a great find around here, but it would be pretty cool if there was one! Except for the fact that I didn't find it!

The only reason that Wagner survived in "10" condition was that it was in a plastic holder when retrieved from the Black Swamp. Nice holder, but smells like swamp gas.

So if the staining on the back looks like a wet sheet transfer it isn't considered a stain? And what's the bit that looks like paper loss next to his knee?

Huh...nice card but psa 10? Looks like another psa inside job/blunder!?!?

It seems that psa's guidelines have changed...just discover the nicest known specimen of a card and it gets a gem mint 10. What nonsense.

I remember this find, I think. Wasn't there a bunch of other super high grade e98s? I believe this card already sold before, for a bit over 100k. I can't remember which auction it was.

While this card is so high end it's almost breathtaking, I'd have to agree that the surface issues (front & back) should prevent it from being a "10".

It's difficult to tell from the scan, but I believe the appearance of paper loss next to his knee is a flaw in the holder, not the card.

As to the original question, I have no idea what the Black Swamp find is.

Yeah assuming it is not altered, nice card but not a 10 for the reasons pointed out...maybe not even an 8, technically. But it says 10 so it shall bring 10 money.

Just blew up the scan and it appears 3 corners have wear. One of the spots maybe the holder but there are two other spots missing red ink. Not a 10. Nice card but not a 10.

Why is it graded a 10- a grade that is literally off the charts for a caramel card- when it clearly isn't a 10? And as mentioned, of course it will achieve a 10 price which is likely to be well into six figures. Don't get it. What does it take to assign the proper grade to a card?

Edited to add it's a beautiful card with huge well centered borders, but it has other technical issues.

Agreed BOTN, the upper left corner alone put it at an 8. Just one man's opinion...

You are thinking of an E93 find where a PSA 9 Wagner sold for over 230k.

It's funny how many times a month PSA is getting bashed for being the idiots they are, yet we still have big supporters here that are PSA all the way. I guess their collection is valued in plastic and not in cards Whats the difference between them and GAI. Mike was just not big enough to survive the ordeal is all.

I think the Wagner should be bought and then graded by SGC and then have those dipsh!ts at PSA pay the hefty sum of the difference for their ignorance and stupidity. I think if thats a spot of paper loss on the front its a 1-3 at best. Far cry shy of a 10 in any matter though

Lionel Carter collection is fine. Dmitri Young collection is pushing it. Black Swamp Find is over the edge. If noone on this forum has heard of it there's no way it should be listed on a PSA Label.

I think he means technically, if there was paper loss, then it should technically be graded 1-3.

Regardless of the # on the holder, if a person buys the card (and not the holder - whether its a 1 or a 10) it will fetch big bucks IMO. Beautiful card!

I looked at the huge scans. If you haven't looked at those you should.

The white spot near his knee looks more like some lint in the holder.
The corners do show just the slightest wear. I only figured two, but won't argue if someone else sees three.
The marking on the back is an offset transfer, both red and brown. (And if it's from storage there might be another wagner just as nice!)
What looks like a scratch on the knee at the right I think is on the holder.
The white dot at the lower right and the one at the top center are too small to tell even from the huge scan. They're probably just print defects. If they're paper loss then things are very different.
The red is off register slightly low and left.

I don't think I'd be as harsh as calling it a 1-3, even if the two tiny spots are missing paper. Maybe a 4.

If they're just print defects, I'd be thinking more like 9-9.5, far from perfect with 4-5 trivial defects, but still extremely nice.

And still way more than I could afford, probably more than my house

Say what you will about HA but the best scans in the biz.

Great card....not a 10...but amazing card. Scott M is still king of the E98's IMO.

Yea...at least 2 corners touched...those areas on l and r towards bottom concern me. A super sharp card. Anyone have e98 wags's to compare those bottom defects to?

Call me crazy...the card is STUNNING, but the bottom left corner (reverse) keeps this thing out of the 8 range. We now at 7? I'll go away now

This E93 Wagner in SGC 88/8 went for a "mere" 16.5K in the recently concluded Goodwin auction: Link

Funny thing is that if you look at the PSA pop report for the E98 Wagner from Heritage, the cert #19871751 is still not viewable. Also, the PSA pop report currently doesn't show any 10's for the E98's. Of course, it's very possible that PSA has not yet updated it's pop database yet.

Ok so looking at the bottom left corner by the knee is a bad spot. Is that a print defect or paper loss?

Also the 1-3 grade range falls correctly based on their scale not mine. We have seen some sharp cards with minor loss take a 1 grade. It's because it's Wagner on the card is the only reason that card graded that and PSA is a joke anyways. If this was a common do you think it would have gotten a 10? This is a joke and anyone that puts value in their grading is an idiot. Come on guys look at their track record. Just about every high end, high graded card that gets posted on this board by PSA is under speculation for over grading and alterations. I have more trust in Global than PSA. JMO

That card is stunning. But, not a 10. In looking at a couple of corners(back bottom left in particular), I'd knock it down a notch, but not much. I'd give it an 8.5 if not a 9. Registration is off marginally as well, but I'm splitting hairs. Being an E card guy I can't think of one I've seen any nicer. Beauty!

I think the area you're mentioning is actually lint or something inside the slab. If it's not then you've got an excellent point.

I don't think it's worthy of a 10, but I'd have a tough time giving it a 1.

There's no reason to blanketly call collectors idiots for using a grading service. Andrew, I've had fun with the TPG acronym (or is it acrostic?) game myself - mine was Please Stop Authenticating Somebody Got Cheated By Valuing Grading, but I collect baseball cards in PSA and SGC holders, and wouldn't consider myself an idiot for collecting either.

This card is gorgeous no matter what the flip says. I'm sure that the hammer price will reflect that.

Does anyone know the answer to my original question?

Daryl I was referring to the idiots that put the value in the plastic container and not the card itself. I also buy slabbed cards but steer away from PSA as much as possible due to their reputation. Buy the card and not the holder.

If NO ONE knows about the "Black Swamp Find", was there REALLY a FIND at all?

Pete I think they are 2 different cards. It's just that one TPG got it right and the other didnt.

Default 8 or 9

there is no way in hell this card should be any less than 8. The PSA card is a hell of a lot nicer then the SGC. Hey Andrew I think you just have the wrong guy submit your cards, to your favorite graders,for you or you'd think about them the same you do PSA. That SGC card is not close to as nice as the PSA your bias is clearly showing. BTW not defending PSA I think they all have major problems with their staffs abilities and qualifications. That being said I would trust and/or agree with Scott at SGC's opinion on a card submitted by a regular guy off the street probably 95 out of 100 times.

those high res scans are incredible...it's so cool to see the waviness and inconsistencies in the printing borders which disappear when viewing with the naked eye!!!!

Glyn no one here believes that the PSA card should be a 10. At most the average consensus I would say is an 8 at best. The SGC card is accurately graded is it not? A 5.5 is worthy of that SGC example. The difference is SGC gets it right 95/100 times where PSA is constantly being bashed for their own mistakes over and over and never try to fix the issues. Yes I prefer SGC over anyone because I can trust their opinion where as PSA is worthless IMO. So I am not being bias by any means I am just stating the facts.

Perhaps the only reason it is a 10 is because the owner hasn't submitted it for the 10.5 half grade upgrade.

Seriously, if givin a choice between "one" high grade card (by virtue that PSA says it's that nice) or a l"ot of other" nice cards, which choice would you make?

Andrew, I think you're right, SGC gets it right 95% of the time. But having mint looking cards in the same 10 holder as cards that look run over by truck seems like another worthless service. PSA cards have the highest resale value. Third party grading was ment to be a THIRD party between buyer and seller. I don't use any service for second party collecting, but if I had high dollar cards for sale it would have to be PSA.

Funny thing is that if you look at the PSA pop report for the E98 Wagner from Heritage, the cert #19871751 is still not viewable. Also, the PSA pop report currently doesn't show any 10's for the E98's. Of course, it's very possible that PSA has not yet updated it's pop database yet.
Doesn't the database get updated immediately when the grade is entered?
I would think in that environment, a real time update is likely with their software.

Default 95%

yeah right not on a big time submitters invoice, they have a large submitter that would NEVER use them if he received the same grades you or i do. Not to mention the fact that hey let their friends go right into the grading room and argue over grades with them. Obviously they know who's card it is then. Just sit in front of their booth at the national and you will see some of their friends blatantly walk right into the grading room. I have not seen this at PSA, again I feel their are plenty of PSA screw ups I JUST DONT SEE THE PERCENTAGE AS ANY DIFFERENT FROM sgc TO psa. Remeber PSA has graded many many multiples of cards compared to SGC. So of course in sheer numbers there are more PSA screw ups than SGC. I just feel the majority of pSA screw ups are due to incompetence I wish I felt the same about the other guys.

I think Andrew enjoys the "We open up your slab, let you fix flaws, then we reslab at a higher grade while you wait" service that SGC provides.
