My comment was not supporting the value of the Wagner at 10 mil were it to come to market but to point out to you that every person who has owned it knew the history before buying and paid up for it anyway. Again, Mastro's admission does not change the value of the card, imo. PSA is never buying it back so it is an 8 because we all know the flip rules.

Finally whatever item it is that Goldin will be auctioning will most likely sell for considerably less than his promotional tour will suggest.

Ah, that's the issue, I'm talking about more than one admission. There's the admission that the card was trimmed, but also the admission of shill bidding in their auctions. That sale price was the highest bid, but maybe not truly the sale price, which could mean that 2.8 million is not really the benchmark for that card.

Maybe it's Walt Williams' neck

Not expecting many people to get it, but was inspired by the Mordecai Brown post.

Always good to see a GABBCFTBGB reference!

I'm guessing it's either a 1988 Fleer Billy Ripken FF error PSA 7 or a 1989 Upper Deck Griffey PSA 7 or even better.

PSA 10 Gregg Jefferies rookie card (Lot of 10,000,000)

Didn't know much about these guys so did a little googling. Interesting read. Brought me across Don West. A guy I had long since forgotten. You want to feel gross...go watch his Beanie Bears video. I showered twice after that one.

The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book by Brendan Boyd and Fred Harris.

It pictured various "common" baseball cards (and a few stars), with often humerous profiles of the players.

One of the profiles was with a picture of the 1969 Topps Walt Williams, where they said "And yes, Virginia, Walt Williams had no neck".

The sale at 2.8 million was a private sale. This card was not part of the shill bidding that took place at Mastro Auctions.

Ah, did not realize that.

Maybe it's the map from Time Bandits?

Now that's funny.....Although I would think such a map would sell for much more than 8 figures

It's a time machine that can only be used once. This machine will allow you to take a trip back in time and see whatever sporting event LIVE that you would like to see.

If you had a spare $10 million dollars laying around that you could spend frivolously would THAT be something you would spend your money on?
