T206 Honus Wagner SGC 3 What is the Over/Under

[Rhotchkiss]

Considering a psa 3 sold for $3.25mm less than a year ago… I think $6.6mm is one hell of a result

Agreed, though this one looks nicer than the PSA 3 to me. The consignor is undoubtedly very happy with the result.

Technically no fight in extended period. A bit of disappointment in terms of hoping to see a bidding war.

Really wished it would go higher, $6.6M is easy to break.

You are right a disappointment would have been a little fun in an odd way to see it go up.

But Great ROI by the Consigner and wonder how long before the next Wagner pops up.

Seems every other auction recently one comes up

Ryan, I agree with you. Should I be congratulating you re this new centerpiece to your incredible collection?

I had the over/under at $7.5 million, which is less than a lot of people here were thinking. With this being one of the nicer Wagners out there, it would seem that the buyer did pretty well, especially considering that, to my knowledge, the price of a Wagner has never gone down (which obviously doesn't mean that that trend will continue forever.)

Ha. No Val, not me.

Jay, I can’t tell if your post is sarcastic, but the Wagner may have gone for more in a psa slab, although I doubt it- I think buyers of a t206 Wagner are buying the card not the slab

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Given the difference in prices seen for PSA vs SGC, I am curious if people think a PSA slab would have made any difference in price for a Wagner. I doubt it would have been double like the Jackie, and I agree with you that buying a Wagner is probably more about the card, but I would think a PSA slab would have seen a higher price just because PSA usually seems to.

i do not believe it would make 1 bit of difference. I mean PSA did grade the gretzky wagner...their first ever graded card...and they got that one wrong?

True, but it hasn't seemed to hurt the price, at least not yet.

If the winner wanted to cross it over to PSA, it would only cost $10,000 and if you paid $6M for the card, that seems pretty trivial.

I don't imagine you'd want to get out the old pliers and crack it out yourself, so you'd have to just hope it crosses over directly to a PSA 3

Has anyone done any investigative work to determine which Wagners were cracked/crossed over and what the true population is?

If this had been graded by PSA instead of SGC, would it have gone for even more? Look at the difference between the 52 Topps Robinsons that were also in the REA auction. The PSA 8 went for more than double the SGC 8.
