first time:





card had been "altered" the first time when extensive coloring had been added, and especially around the ear.....some "paper"(I believe) was added...and other major altering items performed on the card....



second time:



card was "un altered" by "altering" it again being reversing the original restoration......





this is EXTREMELY unfortunate as now no one really knows truly how much this card has been worked on....





it breaks my heart to see a piece of history being tampered with extensively....



my friend and board member mike s has held this a few times...





if you are going to drop serious cash on something like this, original in any condition , is the way to go....because no one truly knows what has been done and undone to this card...



CARD IS 100 % ALTERED .....AUTHENTIC, BUT NONE THE LESS ALTERED

This is precisely the point I was making earlier. 100% altered. What once was done cannot be undone.

Have look, at this from a few years ago.
Been floating around for a few, it seems.

Crack it out, and send to SGC and ask for a “A” designation.

New card, new game.......

Thanks for the link. This could be their problems in selling it. Back when the card was worth 150k they wanted 300k. When the card was worth 250k they wanted 450k. Now that the card is worth $420k (based on the December sale) they want $700k. The card is never for sale at current market value. Maybe in 5 years it will be worth $700k... and they’ll want $1.3m. Seems to be the mo.

Does a realteror sell both heromes for sale and vacerant lots as well as Wagerners?

The card is what it is. The guy wants to sell it. I don't think it's fair for people to go back and forth and make all sorts of editorial comments on a BST post. No one in their right mind is going to spend 700k on something w/o doing some research. This would turn me off from wanting to sell a major piece on Net 54. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a perfect fit for an ebay museum I mean store.

Or maybe a Vault.
