Året efter vandt en postarbejder i Florida kortet og solgte det på auktion hos Christie's for 640.000 dollars til samleren Michael Gidwitz. I 2000 blev kortet solgt via Robert Edward Auctions til kortsamleren Brian Seigel for 1,27 millioner dollars. I februar 2007 solgte Seigel kortet privat til en anonym samler for 2,35 millioner dollars. Mindre end seks måneder senere blev kortet solgt til en anden anonym samler for 2,8 mio. I april 2011 blev det afsløret, at den anonyme køber var Ken Kendrick, ejer af Arizona Diamondbacks. Et andet kort, kaldet "Jumbo Wagner", blev solgt på auktion igen i 2016 for rekordhøje 3,12 mio. dollars. Disse transaktioner har gjort Wagner-kortet til det mest værdifulde baseballkort i historien.

The next year, a Florida postal worker won the card and auctioned it at Christie's for $640,000 to collector Michael Gidwitz. In 2000, the card was sold via Robert Edward Auctions to card collector Brian Seigel for $1.27 million. In February 2007, Seigel sold the card privately to an anonymous collector for $2.35 million. Less than six months later, the card was sold to another anonymous collector for $2.8 million. In April 2011, that anonymous purchaser was revealed to be Ken Kendrick, owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. A different card, named the "Jumbo Wagner" was sold at auction again in 2016 for a record $3.12 million. These transactions have made the Wagner card the most valuable baseball card in history.
