Sounds right to me, Doug!

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

Me too. If I only had the foresight as a 5 year old to have bought a Wagner back then!

Anyone that would pay $300k plus for a baseball cards is awesome.

Anyone that would pay $300k plus for a small house is an idiot.

Would the eBay fees cost more to the seller of a big-time item such as this, than your average baseball card auction house?

I suppose it depends on whether if you assume that the buyer's premium is a cost borne by the bidder or the seller. I would suppose that it is the latter.

Seems like a valid point. I wonder if I can find a bank that would let me take out a mortgage loan to buy a baseball card?

Who needs a bank? I'm going to see if anyone on Craigslist would loan me that kind of coin...

It's a legit card, but what bothers me here is the grade. There's a chunk of stock missing on the card so don't you think the card could have been graded authentic, instead of a PSA 1?
