A possible solution for the PSA 8 T206 Wagner?

I have always said it and caught sh!t about it for years--once the card is graded it is 100% legit. That is why grading companies can offer a guarantee of a buy back. They never HAVE to use it.

Too bad it is not an option to break out the card and have it examined by a panel of "disinterested" graders. But then you void the all important guarantee.

Shill bidding is a blessing compared to the things that go on behind the plastic. FBI has put their resources in the wrong place.

To quote Wallace Stevens, "What we said of it became a part of what it is."

Funny thing Dan, is that for years you attacked me endlessly for my position as it was an anti PSA stance.

As I recall Greg, my issue was wanting to see some evidence made public - which I finally did.

Also I see Keith Olbermann takes his shots on this fiasco

"Before and after somebody with the guts of a burglar and the skills of a circumcision specialist had trimmed the thing.

In its previous state the Wagner was an anomaly. It had very large white borders, and the card was thus perhaps 10% bigger than the average T-206. It looked like it had been hand-cut from a sheet of cards, and not done by a machine. Some of the corners were stubbed and worn from age. "

Interesting. So Olberman had all this information for all these years, but only now had the "guts of a burglar" to finally make his thoughts public?

Keith, you were scooped.

I was not aware that the alleged "before" photo showed a card with stubbed corners, I thought the differences were more subtle.
