While I agree many (perhaps most) of the prices recently realized by cards are inflated and/or unsustainable, I do not believe that is the case with the t206 wagner. This card is so rare, iconic, and desirable that each new sale establishes a new comp that will serve as the low water mark/floor for the next sale. In other words, the t206 wagner will not, ever go down.

I agree with all of this.

While other �less iconic� stuff could see a decrease, this isn�t that.

Agreed. This card will always increase in value. Let's be honest..it will only be purchased by people that have ridiculous disposable income. And for that type of buyer, a few hundred grand more won't stop a sale. It is widely known; even by people not in the hobby. Articles continue and new buyers with money will always look to buy them if available. There are only 80??? I feel buyers that aren't even sports fans buying one just for the "prestige of owning one. From what I can see..it's reaching a point where the people that own them could care less about the money, they just want to own one. I think it's great for the hobby and congrats to anyone that owns one..

I get this card is the symbol of the hobby and "iconic" like no other card. That being said, I dont get why some other rare cards of wagner aren't worth more than they are currently. The 1914 Cracker Jack would be one that comes to mind, nearly as rare as the T206 and from an iconic set.
