Before the book came out and the general hobby knowledge about the sliced and diced Wagner became common-place, I imagine you would have to have been offered the pre-trimmed card or known of someone who was offered the card and seen a copy of the Xerox that was circulating at the time prior to its PSA grading.
When the card showed up PSA slabbed, those that had seen or had a copy of the Xerox for purchase contemplation would have been among the first to realize that this was the wavy edged, blunt cornered Wagner and someone had purchased it and indeed "used their imagination".
Of course, it took the hobbyists who never saw the Xerox quite awhile to absorb the reality.
