The card is a fake, waaaaaay too many red flags. Another thing, you don't even need a picture when the guy says hes selling as a REPRINT, that hints that it is one. Also it has a bin of 2.k, there is no way you will find a wagner t206 on ebay for 2.5k. Use common sense on auctions like this. The guys a fraud no matter what he says. |

I know exactly what ya guys mean..I'm just wondering in conjunction with this auction if there is a good breakdown/diagram on the honus reprints/forgeries. I found a great one on Ruth's RC..Are we talking David from cycleback? If so, can't seem to find any info. on Honus repros.. |

There are standard microscopic techniques for authenticating the T206 Wagner, and any T or E card for that matter. However, beyond that stuff, 99.9 percent of T206 Wagner reprints simply look bad, even in an online image. I'm not talking about Lew Lipset or an SCG grader saying a Wagner looks bad having having personally handled and graded 20 Wagners in person. I'm talking about looking bad to a collector on a $20 budget but who likes to look at the Wagners and other early cards in the MastroNet, SCP and REA auctions. |

I'm not sure, but if you can tell any t206 from a fake you can tell the Wagner T206 from a fake. I would go on ebay and view graded cards. Get a picture of a T206 cobb red background, then go and search for one being sold as is or as a possible reprint. You will see a big difference. |

Yes, absolutely..I'm very aware of that-but look at this guy's picture! There's no way to tell if it's legit or fake from that measley picture. Don't you hate it when these guys put up a card with some lame-foggy lookin picture and then of course it's always some high price!? I mean-at least get a picture of the back..always. |

The other thing is the Polar Bear back..That's what I was mainly interested in researching. I mean-how many of the Polar Bear's really existed with the Waggie?? |

Wagner only comes with Piedmont and Sweet Cap. Only two known are Piedmont all the others Sweet Cap. It doesn't matter what he claims, this guy is a scammer. |

I remember once on the beckett board a man winning a T206 wagner being sold as a reprint but all banged up etc so he thought he was getting one hell of a deal and that it may possibly be real. Of course it was not. In the description though having the poor grandfather story it said being sold as a reprint. The guy spent over 500 smackers on it. I don't understand whats going through peoples heads when they see a card being sold AS A REPRINT and still somehow think that its real and somehow the rest of the world missed this great deal. |

I'm in full agreement with you guys..I guess everybody's overexcitement here is sadly fogging the original question. Again, is there a diagram or a complete description that explains the characteristic differences between a repro and an authentic Honus Wagner T206. |

FAKE. No polar bear back on Wagner. The one on the left looks more real then the middle one. I see alot of ppl on eBay buying reprints its rediculous. I emailed a seller, saying its a reprint, and the info was false, but he ignored it. EASY WAY TO TELL IS THE LETTERING! T-206 under microscope looks brown! |

Just read his header "T206 Wagner brought in 130k in the Sothbys auction. LOL whats Sothbys. What a joke! I havent been on ebay since it started, so I dont know if any have ever been sold on there. Ive never seen one. Maybe someone else has, but its not something you see everyday. Theres only 50-60 of them to be known. Take a look at the Nagy Wagner in the Mastro auction. |
