Legendary T-206 Honus Wagner

[e107collector]

I contacted Legendary today, and I was told "We don't know what grade the Wagner T-206 is."

I'm not sure what to make of that comment. Thoughts?

It's most likely still being restored or refurbished or manufactured or fixed or.....

hahaha. why commit to a number now?

maybe, like the stock market, a real-time ticker is needed for the grades of cards in the auction.

you never know when a grade will tick up.

So they've got a consignment for a Wagner but don't know what the grade is. Yeah, that's believable. Is there something in the water over there that makes it impossible to tell the truth?

Well, I haven't spoken with Doug since the National and they aren't an advertiser....so with that out of the way, is there a chance they have it being graded and don't know the grade? Also, if they sent it in, maybe they were told a grade they aren't comfortable with and are discussing it with another third party grader. Communication is key and they haven't always done that too well..... ....and I agree, the truth is so easy....

Maybe some consignor, who might own two, or three, Wagners, has committed to consign one of them but hasn't decided which one to send in?

That could happen!

Or someone is attempting to slip a Frankenstein Wagner past a grading company.

Hey, I wonder who guessed this a month ago?

And Leon claimed Doug left a voicemail saying "that the Wagner is being graded and they don't know what it will be yet. He said he didn't feel it was appropriate to state the grade when they don't know what it is."

I thought they knew it was "Authentic"? Isn't that what the item's description says? Why would Doug claim that he didn't know what the grade would be when he apparently knew it before sending it in to PSA?

When you consider Mastro/Legendary/Doug Allen always presume the worst -- and you'll usually be right.

Edited to add: Quan, exactly.

Better save that voice mail...I feel a subpoena coming on...

In the spirit of Mastro/Legendary record retention policy I would expect the voicemail to be 'lost.'

Tony - did they say when they expected to know the grade?
