Default T206 Honus Wagner-Piedmont

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

You guys said it well... I've read through it all.

And I agree with everything but one. If that card was mine, I would NOT send it to be graded. The card is obviously not a genuine Wagner T206. It looks and sounds like it WAS a genuine T206 that has been bleached or skinned and had the front reprinted. So if it was mine, I would not grade it, it would be a waste of money. I would grade it and sell it if it were genuine, but it isn't.

Maybe everyone else on this board would have it graded. I wouldn't.

I do admire the gumption it would take to post here in the first place. But that pales to the gumption it would take to start down the fraudulent path of auctioning the card as real. Some folks would sell a real Wagner to retire, not have to work, kick back, be waited on. That could happen here if a serious enough crime is committed: no more work, serve time, have people cook and clean for you...
