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.

It would turn me off from trying to do so somewhat less than competently, that's for sure...

[mrvster]

totally get it.....

but, trying to sell something such a high profile card, putting on BST, and all the knowledge here....

just a no brainer that the seasoned collectors are going to put a seal of approval or not...

whether this is frowned upon, if an investor or even a collector in our community pulls the trigger, its good to know that we care in our community and are proponents of full disclosure....we actually care...

this is our net54 environment ,

if what we were stating was incorrect, than it would be addressed....


when collectors want to "slip" it into an sgc for a possible "Auth" instead of "altered"....there is a huge difference....

unknowing collectors might not have the "full scoop" if you will...

I personally would take an auth card 10000 more than an altered one......

just made that decision on a cobb recently...

once there is evidence of tampering(besides trimming)....its a game changer/ deal breaker for me, and a lot of others....

truth of the matter, Ethan...is that this place is'nt the cozy, friendly place it once was...there are new members joining daily who may not have the knowledge or ethical backbone as many on here do. Additionally we are starting to see bad fakes/reprints for sale here on the BST. I don't expect or like this trend.

So as a community here we are the closest thing to a police as there is. I have many numerous friends here and have actually met them at nationals/shows, etc. This place isn't the wild wild west and I'd hate to see it become that.

So if someone posts bullshit on here...they're going to get called out on it.

The BST isn't the best venue to sell high profile/mega high buck cards anyway!

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

Or maybe a Vault.

Ok, so the OP totally screwed up and the Wags has never been for sale. The OP is on very, very thin ice. There is a story....I don't think it was outright 100% fraud. It sounds like a casual conversation that the OP tried to make more out of it than there was.
