Wagner is not alone
The "new shiny stuff" has not been the only area setting records. Key vintage cards have also been blowing the roof off old sales. The Wagner is but one example. Post war, but a 1961 Dice game Mantle sold for almost 400K (last sale 144K in May 2018 - same exact card), 1933 Goudey Ruth #144 PSA 8 - Almost 300K! Last sale - 67K July 2019.
A lot of "deep pockets" looking for the "cream". I for one see this continuing for a bit on low pop high demand cards.
