This will not end well . . .

Actually that statement is quite untrue.

Now, if they were going to sell it, then that might be true.....because most folks with a Wagner would want to maximize their value for resale.

I haven't seen a reprint with the lettering but my experience is limited. Still I am not taking a $5,000 gamble.

Let's end any pretense that there is a chance this is authentic. If there was a chance the owner would have spent more time putting together a decent description and taking a real photo instead of slapping something together in 2 minutes. It is absurd he is getting $5,000 for it but if he even thought it was possibly legitimate he would have attempted to build a decent listing and attempted to legitimize the provenance of the card to get something closer to the actual value of a real Wagner.

Exactly right. No one sells a card for $5,000 if there is even the slightest chance that it is worth $200,000.
