Not sure if this has already been brought up but some nice cards getting ready to hit the auction block. That Honus Wagner card is sweet.

Well Megamillions is up to $363M, according to the billboard outside my office that taunts me every day. I might have to buy a ticket or two. If I hit it, I'll go Wossa on that auction.

Had the same thought... If I hit it, this card will be mine

According to Mr. Goodwin the card came from a well known Houston area collector that has a collection that will blow peoples minds if ever fully liquidated. He told me that this collection has been known for many years but finally pieces are being liquidated. The Plank and Magie are also from the same collection. Seller is very aware of the value and yes the collection is mostly ungraded, Bill got these graded I believe.

If you don't think the PSA 8 Wagner is legit, this might be the best Wagner out there.

I guess this brings me to a new discussion but I'm curious why some collectors don't think the PSA graded 8 Wagner is legit? I mean I get the "too good to be true" but don't you think PSA would do ALL of their homework possible before grading a card which some respect as the "holy grail" of card collecting? I'm not saying I believe it but just curious what some other people's takes are on this. (maybe point me to a thread where this was discussed?)

There are several people (and a book about it) that believe that the PSA 8 Wagner was cut from a strip.

Interesting. I guess I'll have to track down a copy of this book.

*edit - I just bought the book for $2 on amazon. Thanks guys.
