David,

Great story, thanks. Alas, you are correct. It was a great party!

Lovely Day...

Would you rather have the frankenwagner or the trimmed shellacked one. I'm going frankenwagner.

Because my local espn radio affiliate just mentioned it in their Sportscenter update.

How ironic that the holy grail goes to the nuns

I don't think the name was mispelled Pittsburg. I think that was intentional!
Wasn't there a big controversy at that time concerning how the city was named???

Did the Pirates use Pittsburg or Pittsburgh at that time?

I guess I don't have to worry about this dilemma unless I win the lottery, but if I actually had the money to afford that card I don't think I'd want a shellacked, trimmed one either.

What is the frankenwagner? Taped back together?

When they opened the box, they found the card, with a typewritten note: "Although damaged, the value of this baseball card should increase exponentially throughout the 21st century!"


Was this not like a note in the shellacked Wagners safe? Wonder if they bought the 2 cards from the same guy
