That handwritten copy on to the back of the plaque is fantastic! And I'll give you two and a half times what you paid for it

I've checked the population reports for graded Heinie Wagners and he's at the same volume as people like the other Heinie (Zimmerman) and teammate/manager Bill Carrigan, yet he commands prices like he's a lower tier HOFer. In fact, in that same Probstein sale on eBay this week Zimmerman's 1915 CJ at PSA 7 sold for $1,050 and Carrigan's PSA 7 for $817 while .

Heinie Wagner's card is cool looking, and that prominent "Red Sox" on his uniform sticks out for us Sox fans, but I would not be surprised if some newbie investors in vintage think he's Honus Wagner of that famous T206 card and have driven up the price in the past year or two.
