The Gruen Curvex timepiece may fetch up to $100,000.
If you’ve ever wondered why collectors consider Wagner’s T206 card a “holy grail” it’s due in no small part to the fact that he was one of the game’s best players during its first century. The Flying Dutchman remains one of the finest offensive shortstops of all time despite all the changes baseball has gone through since he hung up his cleats more than a 100 years ago.
Despite being nearly 83 years old, the original crystal on on Wagner’s watch remains clear and uncracked. The dial beneath it, along with its golden numerals, is also in relatively good shape, as is its hand-wound movement. The watch has seen a fair bit of wear, of course, and no longer features its original strap. What makes it so important is who owned it, though, and it comes with a letter of provenance from an acquaintance of the Wagner family.
Wagner’s Curvex will be up for auction until Wednesday, Feb. 23. Bidding has reached $27,000 as of press time, though Heritage Auction expects it to sell for closer to $100,000.
