There ya are..

I sent him a nice little message too.

[barrysloate]

There are so many things funny with it I don't know where to start: "I purchased this at auction in 1996..." What auction? And who professionally graded it? This guy just makes up anything he wants.

[Jim VB]

He declined my offer of $1.00.

Too bad. I would have been willing to overpay, with cash money!


(And, why are all the "good" Wagners only available with Sovereign backs?

[vintagechris]

Yea, I think if I was trying to sell a "$100,000" card, I would pay $100 for a nice scanner. Do you think these people really think this will work? I mean really.

[HRBAKER]

He bought a $100,000 card as an investment but his camera is not a "good one."

[Leon]

Hey, he's just down the street from one of my fledgling restaurants in Arlington. I wonder if he would take a chicken fried steak dinner for it? (maybe with some extra gravy oozing over it!!). I think our cost on the steak itself is about 40 cents. I may want some change back.

[iggyman]

I think the hope is that one of the Kardashian girls sees the auction.......don't smirk, it could happen.

Lovely Day...

[martyogelvie]

iggyman,
that was funny!

[Orions father]

Just emailed him that I am interested in the card (HAHAHAHA) but I needed to know if he would stand by the info he provided to ebay that it is an original. Cant wait for his response.

[T206Collector]

...for $1,000. Who's laughing now?

[iggyman]

I'll make some calls and see which of the three (four if you count mom) purchased it.......TTYL.

Lovely Day...

[GrayGhost]

WHAT????????????. I can't imagine ANYone would purchase that for 1000.00. This HAS to be a joke. This guy needs to be turned in.

Leon, you're a restauranteur?

[Leon]

If someone bought that for $1000 (and I highly doubt they did) then they might have just learned a $1000 lesson. I wish that was my most expensive one (not to make light of a grand, it's a lot of money to me)

It's a secret. Just ask my customer.

I would have bid if the video game instructions included were for Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!

[GoSoxBoSox]

What would idiots be without guys like this in their club?

[FUBAR]

It's professionally graded but where is the holder??? I wouldn't mind buying it and putting in with my stack of Sovereign Wagners! And to think some dope paid $1000 for a reprint!

[tbob]

Must have been that free shipping offer that sealed the deal.

[CW]

Yep, this one was funnier than most.

I like how it was graded by SBA. Such Bullshit Authentication?

And I love the final line: "It would make a great gift to any collector."

Yes, only 70 exist, it's THE holy grail of the entire hobby that is baseball
cards, a PSA 1 will run you $200K +, and, oh yeah.... makes a great gift.

[GrayGhost]

Its not even a reprint. Its a fantasy card, as to my knowledge, NOBODY has ever seen a Sovereign Wagner

[ctownboy]

Iggyman,

From what I have heard about the Kardashian sisters, poor Honus wouldn't have a cahnce with them because he was a white athlete. Now if the card were of Lamar Odom, Reggie Bush or Miles Austin.....

David

[teetwoohsix]

I guess there is no way to verify that this really did sell for $1,000.00, is there?

It just doesn't make any sense. Can't you buy these reprint fakes for a dollar or two?

He must have bought it from himself

[Bilko G]

Really the only way to verify would be to contact the buyer after he left the seller feedback. Even then though it could be a friend of his.

[RichardSimon]

I would bet that is a sale that won't be completed.

You can't fix stupid.

[Kawika]

No need to start yet another bogus T206 Wagner thread so submitted for your approval is this latest bit of scammery: http://tinyurl.com/2ch9rvc
THE CARD WAS IN A TOY TRUNK INSIDE AN OLD JACK IN THE BOX TOY WITH THE CLOWN OR WHAT EVER WAS IN IT THAT POPPED UP WHEN YOU TURNED THE CRANK.

[GrayGhost]

A Big giveaway w these clowns to me is the fact they don't spend money to get a card authenticated.

But, the two Indian head pennies and the clown that pops up out of the toy in the trunk are good proof that this is a "period" 'Wagner.

[Matthew H]

"If its a reprint, then it's a really old one!"

I'll never get tired of that line.

[Doug]

For some reason every time I see one of these auctions this guy comes to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytesp...eature=related

I love how his 1977 Topps football cards are slabbed but not the Wagner.

[dstraate]

Here's the latest:

This one came out of a Jack in the Box with an Indian Head Penny (He's not saying it's real mind you...)

http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-HON...item4152d32e0a

[Doug]

I wonder if the jack in the box and two Indian head pennies are included?

[kcohen]

Wasn't Ebay requiring at one time that certain cards, e.g. T206 Wagner, 52 Mantle, had to be graded in order to list?

I thought so, but to enforce such rules they would be losing listing fees and god forbid that happen...
