I'm not a T206 expert. I have owned 50-75 T206s over the years and now own about 5. I claim no expertise whatsoever. But when a fake is so bad that it's laughable, no expertise is needed.
The scan in the 46th post (if I counted correctly) in the "New Wagner Find" by fkw proves that the card is a fake - period. This is obvious to anyone, T206 expert, or Olberman's driver or anyone off the street.
I'm not an expert on counterfeit money either but if I noticed the oval around Franklin's face on my $100 bill was missing, unlike every other $100 I've ever seen, I would assume it was counterfeit, i.e., created to deceive. I wouldn't be surprised that the counterfeiters didn't sign their names. I wouldn't need to have the paper tested.
At first I gave these guys the huge benefit of the doubt. I thought they meant well but were simply uninformed. Now I think differently.
