I thought the same thing but there is no way in hell they can write that well. It crossed my mind more than once.

Thanks Brian. I've been spending the day digging my car out of a snowstorm. We had quite a doozy today.

Brian C.- I understand you may not have handled that many T206's, but trust me when I tell you that an experienced eye would not think for a moment that that Wagner was real. Everything is wrong about it.

Barry... I've handled many, many real T206s over the last 25 years, just not a real Wagner. I'm asking you and anyone else -- devoid of sarcasm, condescension and bitterness -- to please address the basics of this card. Color, design, printing, dimensions, aging.

Again, I don't really care who attacks me in whatever hauty manner chosen. If it makes some lowly person feel better, so be it.

Brian- I certainly wasn't being condescending. The color is off, the clarity isn't quite right, the font is wrong and if memory serves the lettering is the wrong color, the card has funny corners and edges and looks like it was glued to something else, and there are probably a couple of other signs I am forgetting.

Barry... for the record, I don't think he card is real, nor does it look real to my eyes. But I am trying to give it that all-American advantage of "innocent until proven guilty."

-So, in this case, does not the color vary from specimen to specimen? There are all manner of color variations for every card in the T206 series.

-For clarity, could not the massive amount of scum on the card attribute in the slightest to its clarity being off?

-Is the font actually not the same letter as other T206s? If so, argument over.

-I agree that the font is the wrong color. But like I said before, some of my real T206s have very dark brown fonts, making them almost look black.

-Funny corner, in what way? Like it was trimmed? Trimmed does not make it fake.

-The glued edges could indicate it was rebacked, but has anyone actually seen the card in person? Or just from a scan on the internet?
