You can trust Connelly to run around NYC with the card, but you can't trust PSA or SGC to authenticate it? |

I know my memory isn't what it used to be, but I believe Lelands is run by Joshua Evans, not Leland. |

I was shocked to see in Joe's posting that Capital company chose to hi-jack the name I gave to T206 on the cover of my 1980 book--T206 The Monster. Now on point. I have been paid some pretty good money and been flown to far away places to authenticate a "Wagner." One such trip yielded a Wagner, Boston AL! I even spotted a fake at a dealer's table at a show, which he immediately took off his table and returned to the person he bought it from who gladly accepted it back "only after I talk to Heitman." Of the 20 to 25 that I have been asked to authenticate, only one was real. It is impossible to authenticate a Wagner without seeing it in person and examining it. But I will say that a picture can reveal a fake. I have been shown pictures of what purported to be a Wagner along with an offer to fly me somewhere to examine the card. Many times I have told the owner of a reprint that he need not bother to pay me to be told that his card is not an original. Having said this, let me add that the pictures I've seen of this card reveal just what it really is. |

Isn't Joshua Evans' middle name Leland? Josh? |

William, The picture reveal what it really is? Not that it needs to be said, but you never said it was a reprint. |

What I did say is that you can't authenticate an original from pictures, but that you can sometimes spot fakes and reprints from pictures. |

If Bryant Gumbel and HBO make these jackasses into sympathetic characters then the only justice would be if ol' Bryant himself buys the card. I could live with that. Really, this is all just bizarre. I think I'll scribble my very own Picasso and then spend the next ten years trying to convince everyone it's real. Hell, I'm not going to get famous doing anything that takes real talent. |

There's no way in hell that card is a 4 even if it was real. That may be the craziest part of the Post article. |

Hasn't this carnival act become stale yet? For anyone to give the card, the auction house, or the owners of this card any credibility does a disservice to the collecting community. This tripartate of misinformation and apparent deception should just go away never to be heard of again. Still, the entire episode has been a good laugh, but alas, we must laugh at ourselves for wasting oxygen and time discussing this matter. It has been educational, the "scientific" research is a great sales tool, and I'm sure that it will be replicated on the next ebay sale of an Elvis image discovered in the hardened yoke of a fried egg. |

Paul- thanks for the additional backing; I guess we'll have to split that dollar. But I doubt we'll hear from these two birds anyway. |

You two are total baffoons and thieves. People like you are trash. You obviously dropped out of school. Reading your writing, I can tell. I've never seen more horrendous writing. You sound like someone that lives in the projects that wants to mooch off whitey while bad mouthing whitey. Take your racist remarks and shove them up your ghetto you trash. It's sad that people like you are allowed to live while innocent people die everyday. Stop smoking your goat weed and wake up trash. By the way, clean and clip your fingernails man. They're disgusting. |

I don't get why anyone is discussing anything with the card's owners. You need to keep in mind that they are thieves, pure and simple. They aren't having the card graded because it is a fake - they know that, we know that, end of story. They are trying to screw someone and have been building a case purely so that they will NOT have to return money when the owner gets the card and realizes he/she has been had. |
