David SmithAnother problem I foresee is all the publicity this card is receiving. By it being in both an auction house and on eBay, it is getting an air of legitimacy to it, especially when it has "scientific analysis" with it.
Now, just think, a couple of people across the country see all of this and think their (fake) Wagner card is real and take the time and money to have their card evaluated by experts. When the analysis comes back as negative, ie the card is NOT vintage but a newer reprint, those people might also think the world is against them and wanting to rip them off. Thus starting another round on this comic Merry-Go-Round.
The real shame would be if someone out there has a box of T206 cards (ala the Indianapolis OJ find) with a real Honus Wagner in it. They see the auction and newspaper articles about this fake card and decide to not trust having their own card graded but instead to have the paper tested and in doing so, damage or destroy a real Wagner card. What a crime.
