Reccius Wagner - Auction Ended Early
Posted By: Hal Lewis
I ended the auction early because I am truly torn about whether or not to sell the card, and I don't want to be forced to do so by Ebay. |

That Ruth sure is sweet, Hal...but obviously it's not 1 of a kind like your Honus. Can't you have both? Mortgage your kids education for it!!!@ |

At times collecting can drive us all to the brink of needing psychiatric help. I think you did the right thing Hal. If you like the card, you should keep it, whatever else it may or may not be it is unique (until someone finds 10 more in their Louisville basement ), who cares about hypertechnicalities like trade card or not, rookie card or not, etc. etc. |

Dunno Hal, seeing as someone spilled cranberry juice or red wine all over the card, I'd be selling it in a heart beat :-p But it is one of a kind, so it makes it tough to part with. No matter what card you ulitimately end up with, you will have one hell of a great card. I'm sure the real torment is trying to figure out how to buy the Ruth and still keep the Wagner. |

Just one man's opinion, but I would rather have the Baltimore News Ruth. But it may sell for significantly more than 100k. Only Hal knows what those who have inquired are willing to pay for his Wagner. And Hal surely knows that some of the people who may be interested in that Wagner are not looking on ebay regularly and perhaps do not lurk on this site. |

JimB is right in that the people who are bidding on the card are NOT regular Ebay watchers, but serious collectors who are well known by the auctions houses, etc. |

Keep it, I have never seen a card like that, what if that card ios worth more than the T206, which is more rare than the T206, keep the card and if you hit the lotto buy the Ruth, keep the Wagner 100% unless you really need the money! |

George Carlin is a genius. AM/FM is one of the funniest comedy albums ever. Whoops, I just went o/t and engaged in thread hijacking simultaneously, or continued same by Jay, apologies. |

to start my title up there....(woops, another thread). You know, living here in Louisville........home of Reccius Tobacco, I had never seen the box nor the trade card and I have, for the last 20+ years searched all the antique malls and have pretty good contacts on the vintage front, so I was suprised at both the tobacco box and the trade card being found, but......... |

George Carlin is worthy of hijacking a thread. Especially since Hal ended the auction early, what else are we gonna talk about :-p I own all his LPs up to Double Yellow Line. After that, his lapse into coke for awhile really hurt is material, but he now as funny and relevent as ever. He is also a great social commentor and and love his play with the English language. Several sig lines I use for email are Carlin lines. |
