Another T206 Wagner "? AUTHTCT"

Well, not really. It's probably c. 2015. Although PSA could have been clearer on the matter.


And I'm still curious about the bidders. To repeat a question from my last post, if they thought that it was real, why did bidding end up at $80? If I thought there was a real Wagner to be had, my bids would have been some orders of magnitude higher than that. Say this Wagner would be worth 800k (number made up for sake of argument, actual number doesn't really matter). If there's even a 1% chance that this is real you should be willing to bid up to $8000 on it. So the bidders are saying that they can tell with 99.99% certainty that it's fake, but that they're not QUITE sure? Really?

Pat, your post #98 made me LOL

I agree with many who have said that the wording can be confusing, misleading. Most wouldn't know what "? AUTHTCT" is. Hell, I didn't recall seeing that before and initially thought the flip was a fake

Not blaming PSA, just think they could word it better - especially since the N4 code that references whatever ? AUTHTCT specifically notes counterfeit.

That's what bugs me, too. The total irrationality of it. Like an admission it's fake but the uncontrollable urge to spend money anyway.
