I think it had something to do with a once completely faded Wagner that suddenly re-appeared...I could be wrong, but I don't think that this was the one..

I'd look for it, but the search function has been including everything under the sun when I search anymore.. So I can never find what I'm looking for..

The item you are thinking of was written up on "Hauls of Shame". It was a similar cover where it was well documented that the item was sold without a signature in a spot and Spence certed it with a signature in that spot. I believe it was Eddie Collins. If you go back in the 'Hauls' archives you will find the article predates the Christy Matthewson signed baseball article. I looked at it last evening.

Yeah, that's where it was. That's not the one I was thinking of though...This one was.. http://haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=11043 with the re-appearing Wagner..

If the article wasn't so damning, it'd be funny. It's just unreal that people can be so blinded by an LOA...

...or the slab; however, I am focused more on the seller than the item itself. This board constantly brings eBay auctions under the spotlight. Being a new member, I did tread carefully before doing so.

Having said that, it seems to me that something is amiss with this listing. James Wymer weighed in with a comment which was, in my opinion, valid.

Please know that I am not trying to undermine anyone here. I just see something that doesn't add up...and wanted to know what everyone thinks about this.

After all, at this asking price, we are approaching T206 Wagner levels...Cobb/Edwards, anyone?

Best Regards,

Eric
