E90-1 Wagner - I Need Another Opinion!
 
Posted By: <b>Mike Taylor</b><p>Recently I picked up an E90-1 Honus Wagner throwing in a lot of T206s that I purchased. My best guess is that it is authentic, but I would like a second (or more!) opinion from any board member better versed in carmel cards tham I. Using Pete Calderon's website, I have determined the following about the card so far:<br /><br />1) It measures 1 5/8"x 2 11/16" - ie 1/8" wider and 1/16" narrower than standard.<br /><br />2) The area on the back where the '20' would be appears to be unscuffed.<br /><br />3) The back is not centered.<br /><br />4) The print pattern doesn't look modern when viewed under a 10X loup.<br /><br />5) The card back doesn't look overly white and the front doesn't look dark.<br /><br />The following link goes to my website where I uploaded a front and back scan of the card for viewing:<br /><br /> <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~mtaylor07/E90-1Wagner.htm" target="_blank">Is This The Real MaCoy Or Not?</a><br /><br />Mike Taylor<br />OriginalTrekkerMike

Posted By: <b>Chris</b><p> This looks like a memorex. The back paper screams reprint. My two cents.

Posted By: <b>Scott Forrest</b><p>Based on #4 above, it certainly could be real. Email me a VERY enlarged scan of some of the front lettering, and a section of the color lithograph on the front, and I should be able to tell you with certainty.
