If one and only one Honus Wagner… $10-15k budget

Great choice
Hard to get as they do not come up that often

1. Jeff, that Rose Co is the bee’s knees
2. No chance of getting any Wagner Rose Co under $15k at this point- that ship has sailed. But the point remains- get something with a Wagner portrait. If not, the PC796 Wagner is a great card- REA has one (not mine); I think it’s much better likeness than the E95

In addition to some of the other cards mentioned earlier like the M101-4 and M116, I also like the PC796 Sepia and PC805 Novelty Cutlery postcards of Wagner.

They both share the same image, but I personally prefer the border of the Novelty Cutlery (image stolen from the interwebs).

M116 are in that price range as SGC 3.0 pastel sold at Heritage for $13K.

As rare as the T206 is, I'd go for the Allegheny Wagner - a true 1-of-1.

Gotta find it first.

I had the Matty from that test set, but sold it...


But, I really like the M116 Sporting Life too.

Great card, but I do not think that the Allegheny Wagner would work with his $10K to $15K budget.
