    Currently at $10000 with reserve not met. I wonder what is the reserve. Didn't Mastro sell a PSA 2 not long ago for approximately $15000?

    I would take it if I had the money.
    and I would gladly own a "beat up
    Honus Wagner too!

    Did someone try to clean the area around the words "smoking tobacco" ? The looks cleaner than the rest of the back but some of the lettering is rubbed off.

    Have any board members bought from this seller (bigeds17872) in Shamokin PA?

    There's a possibility that I may be able to bid on the T206 Plank PSA 2 he's currently auctioning. I looked through his last 200 or so feedbacks and they're all good, but I was just wondering if anybody could give me a real feel for what the seller's like.

    Thank you very much for any insight you can provide!

    The clean part could just be wear. Man I wanted to bid on some Mastronet auctions, but the finishing bids were insane.

    I wonder if there is a T206 Wagner with a Wagner back! That would be awesome!
  • GottabuyitGottabuyit Posts: 155 ✭
    I could see a Wagner like that going for very very big bucks. It probably doesn't exist though. That would be the Wagner of all Wagners!

    the seller is an excellent source for vintage cards.
    Completing 1910s caramel sets. LMK if you can help.

    This is quite a card and extremely rare to pick up. I've been collecting these rarer backs of the T206s cards for a long time and I've only ever since a Ty Cobb back show up 3 times.

    Here's more info on the scarcity ratings of the backs: (it's a great website too!)

    Just joking with my comment, BigKid. image Even in that
    condition there's no way I could even afford it. I would
    be happy to have that card, like you (if I were wealthy).

    Looks like it might be paper loss (as if it was mounted in a scrapbook).

    BTW, there's a great article about a find of 5(!) T206 Cobb's with the
    Cobb back on the site onegaucho mentioned. The article also mentions
    how much this card has previously sold for. Sotheby's sold a Cobb back
    from the Halper collection in raw "good" condition for $28,750 in 1999.
