I think it looks terrible
I am honestly not sure what you guys are looking at, i think it looks amateurish in its restoration. Black lines aren't straight top obviously painted. If I could afford a Wagner I sure wouldn't be buying this one.

I had no idea the card had been restored to that extent. Such a large percentage of the card isn't original anymore. I'd prefer the original also.

The card just gives off a fake air. Something fishy about it that doesn't pass the smell test. I think if I had it in my collection, it wouldn't be for long. I predict we see it come around again not long after this sale. Maybe the following year? It just seems like someone with $200K to spend isn't going to want it sitting in this card.

$200,000 + ?
It will be very interesting to see if the hobby is going to go in this direction--there are more than a few instances in coins where a very rare gold coin had a hole punched into it long prior to its achieving real collectible value to use with a chain as jewelry, with the coin later being restored and retaining value in direct proportion to its rarity and popularity. Very, very interesting!
My bet is that it will top $200,000. Just having a "real" Wagner puts the collector in the upper echelon of the hobby. Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 03-21-2011 at 10:47 PM.

the franken Wagner rears it's ugly head again....
My opinion.. "you can put lipstick on a pig... it is still a pig!"
