$202,000 Jeter Card
Looks like people aren't exactly shaken by PWCC and PSA:

Always interesting to see a closing price like this for a card that (raw at least) I would certainly have passed over if I had seen it in a $1 box at a card show. I have much to learn.

What a crazy hobby we participate in. One man's $1 card is another man's $202k card.

Do you think that somebody paid sales tax on that card, or is it going straight into "The Vault"?

Some of the modern collectors buying cards like this might skip past a magee error or even a plank in a box of t206 commons. That's the great thing about this hobby. Something for everyone. Even if guys who collect in one area or era don't understand another.

Granted, I know nothing when it comes to modern cards, but if I saw this card on a Dealer's Table at the National for over $20, I would have kept walking.
Is this the Wagner of modern day cards, or is there something else that's equally rare/desirable/pricey? |

Yep! That's way short for a modern card. |

I don't see anything on any edge suggesting trimming. It also looks like a very old grade when the card likely wasn't worth much.

I believe Brent Mastro said, "it's the finest example of a mini known to exist."

The landscape of card collecting is changing. New generations in...old generations out. Two different perspectives right? Just be glad the hobby is live and well!

The Wagner of modern cards is the 2003 Exquisite Jordan/LeBron Logoman or the 2009 Bowman Mike Trout Superfractor, both 1/1.

A 1/1 is too rare to be the modern equivalent of the t206 Wagner in my opinion. It would have to be something like this Jeter, or a Lebron, Brady, or Jordan card that can at least become available once every year or two.
