Stolen Wagner Story

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I'm guessing the story itself is fake, or the Wagner was.

I remember the story, came out in 1989 up the State from me. Cops were called etc. It was a pretty big deal and seemed credible at the time but you never know. Fake news wasn't a thing back then like it is today.

I agree. Despite knowing the card’s value: (1) the family kept it in a family Bible; (2) a 14-year-old boy had access to it; and (3) a thief would purposely decrease the very item he is stealing. Doesn’t make much sense.

Also, tracking down a 17-year-old, who had attended baseball card club meetings with the owner as well as multiple other boys, should be able fairly easy.

However, crazier things have happened.
