Heritage Auctions |
Highlights from the auction included: As expected, the top price of the auction was paid for ownership of the Honus Wagner T206, considered the most important trading card in the hobby. “While any Wagner is tremendously desirable,” explained Ivy, “this example was admittedly low-grade, with heavy creasing and ink stains on the verso. Yet the price realized of $227,050 surpassed that of several superior examples sold in recent years. And the T206 Plank posted a result of $77,675, nearly doubling the prices realized for the same grade examples that have sold at auction over the past several years.”
