Wagner Bought on eBay for under $200 (video)

Love the news guy's pronunciation of Honus as "Hannus". Super sad story all around with the down on his luck guy thinking he won the lottery. He's probably already spent the money in his mind a hundred times over....

Doesn't let the buyer off the hook, but he didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed, and probably just looked at the title and didn't read the description.

I have trouble detecting sarcasm on the Internet, so please forgive me if I missed it.

Hearing a mass media talking head pronounce Wagner's first name properly was pretty impressive to me, too.

After all, his name was Johannes.

Best regards,

The buyer user account looks to be very active over the past day.
He must be searching for all of the hard to find 1987 Topps.

Anyone know where they came up with the specific number (57) of known Wagners? Plucked from the sky, perhaps?
