I wonder what the one graded a 8 would sell for now my guess over 4$ million dollars. But the current owner probably will not sell it for a long long time he has a LOT of money (MLB Owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks).
It would be nice to see this one one day donated to the baseball hall of fame. Last edited by Zone91; 04-06-2013 at 12:19 PM.

Still think the Baltimore News Babe Ruth is much more important than the Wagner but that is me (With less than 10 known and the whole world knows Babe Ruth). And Babe Ruth's story is way way more fun to read...the guy was poor as dust and had to overcome HUGE obstacles in his life!!!
Wagner was one hell of a player but just not a fun guy like Ruth and Ruth had 714 Home Runs that is much more impressive for that period in baseball. Last edited by Zone91; 04-06-2013 at 12:22 PM.

Trust me, Wags had QUITE a bit of power and had he, Cobb, Jackson and Nap played almost their entire careers in the "live ball" era like Ruth, they too would have had WAAAAYYY more home runs than what they had. And vice versa for Ruth had he played mostly in the dead/spitball ball era with NASTY pitchers like WJ, CM, Walsh, Plank, CY, Mordecai, Chief etc. he wouldn't have ended his career anywhere near 714.

Jeff,
Enjoy the read. Go about 2/3 of the way through the article (however, anyone in the hobby long enough can tell you about the card)http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/i-...icle-1.1306273

I suggest you take the 4 minutes to review the about video segment from Bloomberg yesterday. In case you missed this, on the WAGNER and others. We are very happy to have broken the record by $500,000 for a trading card at public sale or auction. It is the highest price ever achieved for a trading card at public sale or auction, only the prior sale of the 'Gretzky Wagner' (which was a private sale) was higher. When the initial press release came out about a record, we were referring to the 1.62 million previous auction record, which was beaten by $500K. Some ran with the 2.87 # instead...but we and all involved are thrilled. I will tell you for all the comments regarding the hobby and this card, virtually ALL the support for the card including the winning bidder were from individuals outside the hobby who were fascinated with the news stories, tv appearances and uniqueness of this item....but the answer is, no one gained a Wagner for their T206 collection. I am sure it is the ONLY T206 the winner owns. Last edited by kengoldin; 04-06-2013 at 01:48 PM.

Great clip Ken.
That reason Wagner didnt want to be on the card dosnt totally fly with me, he had previously appeared in advertisements for many tobacco products, including a cigar baseball trading card in 1899 and a newspaper ad for Murad cigarettes. He also Chewed tobacco. Not that it really matters why, but would interesting to find out.
