"In the grading room, it was never a question of 'is it good or bad?'. We looked at it and compared it with other T206s under magnification and it looked totally OK to me. So we graded it. The only question was whether it was a 7 or an 8. I mean the card just jumps out and slaps you in the face it's so beautiful. So we graded it, and then the book comes out, the FBI gets involved, etc. But to me, to my dying day, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that card. It's gorgeous. Probably the greatest of all sports cards. Right up there with Marshall Fogel's 10 1952 Mickey Mantle. And that's my side of the Wagner story."
