Yeah, it does look real. It is staggering to think that instead of buying a house someone would buy a t206 wagner. In this economy?

It's real and comparatively speaking is in line with others I have seen sold in the last 1-3 yrs. Economy or not, +/- 345k is a lot to spend on a baseball card. That is almost the exact average house price where I live...

Seems very high and perhaps not even a real price given that an arguably better-looking example, also in PSA 1 grade sold for $282,000 (including buyer's premium) at the REA auction this Spring. Given the number of eyeballs on the REA auction, it seems odd that someone would be willing to go so far over a recent auction price for the card.

That's the one I used to own. I bought it in 1986 and sold it a year and a half later. Should have kept it.

Barry, super cool! I didn't know you'd ever had a Wagner! I was only 5 in 1986.

That will get him a tent behind McDonalds in North Van.

The price seems about right to me for that example. A PSA 1 sold for 399k in REA a year and a half ago. I know of private offers over 400k for similar examples in the past year. It is a lot for a baseball card, but there is no shortage of buyers (like there is for those houses in Texas
).JimB |

It is a great looking card for the grade. And the 'Sloate' provenance makes it even more appealing. I would rather have that card than the studio in Vancouver (mentioned by Max) or the house in Texas (mentioned by Jim). Of course.... if you throw an apartment in Soho into the mix I probably would not choose Honus.
