Heritage T206 Wagner Card at the National

[grundle20]

Pete, did you say you know the guy selling it? I was looking here http://www.beckett.com/news/2011/02/...rs-for-325000/ and noticed the same card. Did he have a Memory Lane change of heart?

Didn't that card go for like half price at the Huggins and Scott auction a couple weeks ago? Who would be such an idiot to overpay for it two weeks later?

A guy who's buying a T206 Wagner in the first place?

He was talking about how he thought it'd go for a little more in the auction and the reserve saved him from taking a killing.

But if he's in it for 225K and the last bid at Heritage was 245K pre-BP, how could he be killed on a sale?

Now there you go being all mathematical and stuff. You lawyers, always letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

I know, hard to imagine that I'd actually be able to tell that 225K is less than 245K. I'm just thrilled that the failure to make 20K on a flip didn't kill the poor bastard.
