Not sure which is more noteworthy, that someone spent $475K on half a T206 Wagner or that someone spent $474K on a Jasson Dominguez card.

I was shocked at both but the seeing the condition of the Wagner surprised me more. 

I know these things aren't for the normal wage earners, but I can't fathom working 8-10 years and spending it all on half of an old baseball card. Some of us will just have to find our bragging rights elsewhere.

Looks like two of you were all over this one!   Other Wagner thread

Just shows that his card is valued no matter the condition. As for the Dominguez, that seems a little extravagant.

Guys. That's at least 60% of the card....

You know, by focusing on the percentages you have given me an idea that may be unscrupulous. I am thinking of tearing off a small corner of a '73 Topps card, putting it in a screw down case, and claiming it's 5% of a Honus Wagner. I'll give you all a deal on this, say $10 each... I just so happen to have a lot of these 5% Wagners.

Not much different than a relic card.
