Default Could be chalking up a new Wagner find shortly!

I think we are all in agreement that this is not an authentic T206.

However, the argument that the corners are too sharp to match the other damage is not totally accurate. IF the card were authentic, AND it were kept in a pack for all these years (untouched and under tires), then it is conceivable that the corners would remain sharp and the card would get stained by whatever drips on it. There is no other damage other than the staining, so sharp corners shouldn't be used to determine authenticity of this card.

The darkness of the name and team on the front as well as the font size of the team name are dead give-aways though. And, as mentioned, the missing border around the image.

Just my 2cents.

Thanks,

Andy
