davidcyclebackWhat I think is dubious about the angle is that that eBay has cancelled literally hundreds of 'T206 Wagner' auctions over the years and PSA has rejected another few hundred T206 Wagners. If the Daily News writer did a study of the racial makeup of these card owners, he likely would come to the conclusion, "You know, maybe eBay and PSA doesn't reject cards becase of racial makeup." My guess is that 99 percent of the card owners will be white, mostly white males.
In fact, after seeing the high percentage of T206 Wagners pulled by eBay and rejected by PSA, the writer would see that the rejection of the owners' card is normal.
The thing that I have never understood about this card is why it has been singled out by the press for special attention. There have been hundreds and hundreds of cards rejected by eBay and/or called reprint by Bill Mastro. Any of these cards is no less deserving of an appearance on a television show or newspaper article.
