Honus Wagner T206 Value Question

MULLINS5 · July 21, 2015 9:47AM

I know there are a lot of them out there, but are there any with the white borders cut off and was glued in an album? What do you think it would bring at auction? I obviously don't own one, but am curious as to what the biggest card in the hobby would be worth in such condition.

Thanks in advance.

Goodwin sold one like that a few years ago and it hit almost 200k.

No there are not.

A few years back, REA had one with the borders, except for the bottom border, trimmed off. Used to be owned by Charlie Sheen. If the card presents decently, even glued into an album, you are probably looking at at least a couple hundred thousand. That's my best guess.

More than a '69 Eskimo Pie Gino (I've been looking, too).

Casey -- thanks! that's exactly what I was looking for!

I suppose there aren't a LOT of them but it wouldn't be on the radar for rarest sports card. Most famous, probably, but not rarest.

In the gallery, how can 1a and 1b be the same card?

Am I missing something?

I believe that one was restored.

Cheapest Wagner is probably minimum $250k.

Here's the webpage from the Mears Online auction that details the restoration done on the card.

These links are fantastic. Thanks! I'm surprised to see how infrequent the sales are. I'm also surprised to see the entry price is so high.
