Agreed, Bestdj. From reading the article, there were multiple donor cards. They might not have had the monetary value of the Wagner (pre or post "restoration"), but that's now two or three (or more) T206 cards that are now gone forever because somebody wanted to make a few more bucks. Every T206, from the Wagner down, is a piece of history, and now they'll never be enjoyed by a collector.
It saddens me.
