I never seen such a dirty old looking card with such great corners ! Why didn't they just take a few of the real T206's at the dealers shop and compare to the Wagner under a magnifier and see the dot difference ? Why , because the show would have been over in a minute ! This card didn't even have black lines in the border outline of the photo.

Something tells me this isn't the last we've seen of him or that card.

Of course not. The card has most definitely acquired some value to someone at this point given all of the press/hype it has gotten with these two clowns and the show. It will turn up at auction at some point and set an unprecedented record for the most spent on a reprint card. Then it actually, ironically enough, will become the holy grail of fakes.

Someone should buy it and blow it up like they did with the Bartman Ball.

Question, is it true that back in the 80's the card was only worth a few thousand like they mentioned? That would seam odd to me. It was sad though. He put so much faith into that card being real but what did he expect when he refused to have any reputable authenticator in the USA look at it. That card authenticator from Canada will deny deny deny with every excuse in the book.

Just watched the show. They stretched that out! Hopefully that's the end of the story with this story. I wonder how the grader feels having his business completely debunked on National TV!

i cant believe that so called grading company authenticated that card in the first place have they never seen a t206 befor? i think the guy really thought it was the real deal and he could have sold it years back for a nice chunk of change but didnt and now it might be the most valuable fake t206 ever produced.
