Here will be a fun little contest and we'll see how long it takes to answer. In the current thread on the Sotheby's Copeland sale (great read btw) there is a glaring error. First one to post what it is wins. Good luck to all!!
There is 1 answer that will be obvious when pointed out.
ps....had to add a crazy picture for the heck of it.

**Also, the prize is going to change periodically and whomever guesses correct will win the prize at that time.

Is it the measurement of the Wagner? It's stated as 1 7/16" by 2 5/8", which would be the standard T206 measurement. However, that Wagner was trimmed so it technically shouldn't measure properly.

Well, that is not the glaring mistake looked for. It is more obvious. Thanks for guessing. Also, the prize is going to change periodically and whomever guesses correct will win the prize at that time.

[clydepepper]

If you are referring to the Gretzky/McNall T206 Honus Wagner, it's always been my understanding that the card measures correctly, Mastro used a knife to cut off the excess sides of an oversized T206 Wagner to greatly improve the condition and to bring it to the same size as a normal T206.

Did Wagner ever request withdrawal of his card? I thought he never authorized/refused the use of his image in the first part.

Is it that it sold for $110,000, yet 3-4 years later the estimate in the catalog was $125,000-$150,000, then sold for $451k?
