There are standard microscopic techniques for authenticating the T206 Wagner, and any T or E card for that matter. However, beyond that stuff, 99.9 percent of T206 Wagner reprints simply look bad, even in an online image. I'm not talking about Lew Lipset or an SCG grader saying a Wagner looks bad having having personally handled and graded 20 Wagners in person. I'm talking about looking bad to a collector on a $20 budget but who likes to look at the Wagners and other early cards in the MastroNet, SCP and REA auctions.

Always remember this: Excluding those unusual duel/Live eBay auctions held by major auction houses like Robert Edward Auctions, Heritage and Sotheby's, no original T206 Honus Wagner has ever been offered on eBay.
