Missed the show. Will it be on again?
Thanks

I saw it. Hard to tell with these fakey reality shows, but they seemed to follow every avenue to prove/disprove. I hope the Wagner is next week, but it might be a carrot to keep watching.

BTW, I made a fake Wagner. Sometime in the late 70s early 80s there was a baseball card magazine that had true sized, full color pics of all the rarest cards on the cover. I bought a lot of maybe 200 T206s in various grades. Got stuck with a Piedmont card that had 95% paper loss on the front. All you could see was it was a Cincinnati player. Worthless. So I cut the Wagner pic out of the magazine, glued em together, trimmed the edges, did a little bit of distressing. Wouldn't fool anyone here for two seconds, but its not bad. The front is too glossy, but put it under plastic and it looks fairly real. I use it for a joke when someone wants too see my collection. I'll throw that out there and I've had two or three gasp in amazement before I fessed up!

Check their weekend schedule. That is usually when they rerun the shows like this. I am sure it will be on again.

There should be footage of the cobb/edwards segment...maybe on youtube? someone posted a preview to it a ways back...and you pretty much get the whole scenario and the results...SPOILER ALERT...ITS A FAKE ADHERED TO A REAL BACK!!!!!

The show was entertaining but seemed a bit too long to me. However, I will watch just to see the reaction when they tell Cobb and Edwards that the card is no good.

What I like the best about the video is that they pull the card out of a brown paper grocery bag. If I thought I was carrying a $300k item I would not carry it in a grocery bag.

I watched the show last night, and agree that it was too long. They probably could've done the show in a half hour.

They showed a preview for next weeks episode, and it was the Wagner card.

Reminder for those interested. I'm sure this Wagner segment airs tonight at 9pm on CNBC.

That card's like a fine wine. I equate their card to be the equivalent of mad dog, and these clowns are the wino's of the collecting world. Of course they'd have it in a brown bag...

It looks like they might crack it. There is a photo on their Facebook page showing a pair of hands in white gloves holding the raw card. No way can they possibly find this to be legit. I can't wait to watch tonight!
