I LOVE the beginning of the description . . .


"Every hobby has its penultimate prize,"


When my kids were young (20 years ago) when we'd go out for dinner on a Friday night, I would teach the kids a new word. One of those nights, the word was penultimate.

Within a couple of weeks, my son's grammar school teacher misused the word and got called out on it!


So, was the word misused in the auction description, or are they cleverly pointing out that the restored version is the next to last prize!

Who was your kid's teacher, Mr. Dorskii?

The write-up states "“AUTHENTIC RESTORED,” a designation instituted by PSA for use on higher end vintage treasures."

Have they used this designation before or did they institute it expressly for the Wagner?

To be fair, it was the ultimate prize before they added pen to it.

How much of a card has to be left for it to be "authentic"? If I take a T206 Harry Steinfeldt and draw Honus over it so it looks realistic, is that an "authentic" T206 Wagner? Because in my opinion, this treasure is now ruined.

It is a Wagner painting now, not a card anymore.

That T206 Wagner looks to have a bit more than a surface crease (singular) in the “before” picture.

What happened to this PSA 7 1933 Goudey Ruth that is also in the SCP Auction. I am not sure how they can rate this as a “9/10 in the eye appeal department.”

I think they meant the back is 9/10 in the eye appeal.... which I agree.

How come this Ruth can zoom in much closer than the Wagner? Are they trying to hide the true current condition of the Wagner?

That card looks weird. Like they drew him with too much makeup. The other Wagner is the the one at the Baseball HOF.

The makeup made his nose look bigger. I would take the makeup back to the store and ask for a refund.

If restoration can preserve and is disclosed then I can accept to some degree. My issue is the artist did a very poor job. The nose, cleft, left eye and right cheek entirely change the appearance. It's very poorly done. Do we know who the artist/restorer was?

WTF - that card looks like it had a few too many days out in the sun - how is that a 7!?

Agreed, no way that is a 7 in my mind.

Hahaha, thank you for pointing that out. They either didn't know the meaning, or it was a Freudian slip.

By the way, they have apparently since update the description to remove the "pen" and left the "ultimate"
