I was just looking for help in piecing together a little history on it. This is me turning to the experts and look how you treat people.

No one has treated you unfair at all. You just got an answer you don't like. Per our PMs I am still happy to help but I really do think, as others, it is a foregone conclusion. This isn't a personal attack on you at all. It is only forum members telling you what they think. You might be the nicest guy in the world but that has nothing to do with the card in question.

In addition to what Leon said, a little additional background might help you understand where people are coming from and why they are making the comments they are. A few years ago, a pair of guys came on the board claiming to have a T206 Wagner. They refused to have it graded by any of the established grading companies. Instead they kept taking the card to different "experts" who indicated the paper was right, the ink was right, etc. Despite people telling them exactly why it was not authentic, they just kept pushing on and on about their experts. In their mind, the card was authentic and everyone else was wrong. This thread comes across in the same tone and manner.

NOt sure where anyone was treating you unfair. Seems like they were helping you by giving the information you were asking even though it may not be the info you wanted to hear

How are we "treating" you? Nobody has insulted you, called you names, or insinuated that you're trying to commit fraud. We've just tried to tell you that, no matter the story you got when you acquired the card, it has all the earmarks of being fake. Frankly the image quality alone screams reproduction. Can you see the difference in resolution between yours and the one posted from the recent auction?

If you came here expecting people to blindly tell you what you wanted to hear then I guess we have treated you poorly. If you came here wanting opinions from people with tons of experience in the hobby with exactly this kind of thing, then I think we have given you decent return on your time. You also got some reasonable advice to submit it to a TPG, though in all honesty I think most of us feel that would be a waste of money.

What does anyone here stand to gain by telling you it's a fake for no reason?

Do you realize how often we get new members with stories similar to yours, or how often they pop up in the hobby in general? If you can't handle a little cynicism, and that's really about the most offensive thing I've seen in regards to this card, despite the fact that this is your second thread on the subject, then you don't really want opinions you want validation.

I always have to laugh when people seek experts opinions then tell those experts they are wrong when they don't like the answers.

See the "Need some input regarding US mail legalities and baseball cards" thread.
