Default Frank Nagy Collection....

Posted By: Ricky Y

It's nice to have Frank's name associated with it simply because of the man and his contribution to the hobby. But aside from that its no different than any other card. So I wouldn't necessarily pay a premium for it. I believe he had a huge collection but not complete nor necessarily in top condition. Now something as famous as the T206 Wagner I can see that having a Nagy label would be really nice to have.

The Eliasberg coin collection carries a premium but that was a special collection because at the time it was known as the only complete collection of US coins at the time.

Edgar Church Mile High Comic pedigree is another example of something that carries a premium not because of the name but due to the immaculate condition of the comic collection itself.
