Hank, I don't know much about the M116 set, but I'll venture a guess that the WaJo with the "OVER 300 SUBJECTS" back is rarer.

Older holder and soft card for the grade will hold this one back..

Total graded between PSA/SGC
169 Pastel 70 Blue Not a very high population count, IMHO. Interesting to see where they go from here. Gotta admit, it makes it tempting to sell. The pause is realizing I may never be able to replace it. |

I was just being facetious, not looking to sell.

Always the dilemma. Comes down to what one wants more, the card. the cash, or the cards it can now fund.

Pastel 4.5 and 3.5 already got $30K and $23.4K respectively last year. An "A" got $13.2K.
Crazy prices compared to a few years ago, but I get the high demand for Wagner portraits. |

Seems the market keeps booming in Wagner’s - especially portraits. Any additional insights?

My insight is that I would probably sell mine now if it weren't for taxes.

Very true, the cost of exiting in the collectible category is a big hit to the pocket.

The effort to purchase a Wagner nowadays is Wagnerian.

And then you have to transport and launder the cash. If you just deposit it into your account, there will be a report generated and the authorities may want to have a word, and you better have reported the income when they come knocking. "Any time you try a decent crime, you got fifty ways you're gonna f**k up. If you think of twenty-five of them, then you're a genius - and you ain't no genius." Body Heat, 1981. The algebra of deterrence at work here. Avoiding a bit of capital gains tax is not worth risking a professional license (Peter is a lawyer) and possibly one's liberty. It also isn't being a goodie-goodie. It is being a good citizen. "Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society"--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Compania General De Tabacos De Filipinas v. Collector of Internal Revenue, 275 U.S. 87, 100, dissenting opinion, November 21, 1927.

Evading state taxes seems to be a favorite bragging point here though.

+1. Probably not the best covert operation.
As for the subject, I can't afford Wags any longer. I need to stick with Marquard or Rick Ferrell or someone...

To be more accurate, what I meant to say was that after taking taxes into account, the profit is not large enough to entice me to sell. As Lorewalker says, it wouldn't really be a hit to the pocket, it would still be a nice gain.

I was wondering the same. Surely prices on these have not sustained the levels they were selling at months ago, or have they? Anyone who follows this closely know?

As you know, I sold a bunch of stuff in memory lane's spring auction, including 12 Wagner cards (not including team cards). Before the auction (like sometime in March), an auction employee and I sat down and created a low, mid, and high value for every card consigned.
The 12 Wagner cards finished 14.16% above the low value, 2.83% below the mid value, and 15.41% below the high value. Based on this, it appears that Wagner cards are generally still holding value... maybe a slight decline. As an aside, the 4 cards that beat the high value for the card were: E90-1 Throwing PSA 2 Ju Ju Drum SGC 1.5 D322 Tip Top PSA 1.5 American League Publishing Post Card PSA 2 The 4 cards that did not obtain the low value were: E101 Throwing PSA 2 E92 Dockman Throwing PSA 2 PC796 SGC 5.54 E106 Batting SGC 3 5 of the 12 exceeded the Mid Value and 7 of the 12 did not exceed the mid value Note - I also sold 8 Ty Cobb Cards in that auction and only 2 of them exceeded their low valuation with many finishing well below the low value. Also, the Cobb-Wagner Novelty Cutlery (PSA 1) I sold (not included in any of the above), finished above the low value but slightly below the mid value. This, I take to mean that Cobb prices have certainly cooled, much more so than Wagner Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 06-24-2024 at 04:45 PM. |
