Default Here we go again with the fake Wag

What irresponsible journalism on the part of ESPN.

Why not show the card to an actual HOBBY expert, as opposed to a printer?

The sad thing about this is that you could like up a hundred - no, a thousand - T206 experts and all of them would explain that the card is fake. ESPN has access to a prewar card expert in Keith Olbermann, why not get his opinion on the card? I'm sure he could explain to these two gentleman the half-dozen or so reasons why the card is fake, along with the half-dozen or so reasons why the owners' theory of the card being a "Honus Wagner error card" doesn't hold water.

The owners of the card continue to show the card to people who don't know anything about cards, and all of them say "Yep, it's real." They show it to people who DO know about cards, and all of THEM say "Nope, it's fake." Who to believe?
