I would say buying a 350k+ card for $170 is newsworthy. The guy seems like a real nice guy in the video too.

Default Listing
I believe this to be the listing (note that it was listed as a reprint):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171439808784

which doesn't jive with the quote:
"I was just stressed, stressed going, 'Okay, this could be a reprint, this could be something different, this could be not what he saying,'" said Mars. "When I opened up the package open real slow like this and went, 'Oh my God, it is the real one. It's the real deal.'"

Card stock looks too thick, perfectly rounded corners, doesn't look right . . .

That's sad. I used to work in Sparks and there are a lot of desperate "down on your luck" people there. Over 15% unemployment and crippling underemployment. Still don't understand why this is newsworthy.

And the story wouldn't be complete without three local experts looking at it and telling him it's real.

The news would have been better off waiting until it was confirmed by a reputable source instead of reporting on it without having a expert look at it. The guy didn't even have a single prewar card in any of the shots of his "50,000 cards" collection. What makes him the expert that it is real?

+1. Just doesn't look right. He's also selling a Sporting News Ruth, Sports Kings Ruth and a Fleer Jordan Rookie...

If this is the auction:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Collectible-...p2047675.l2557

It was listed as a reprint.

I posted that comment ONLY from seeing the video and not a close up of the card. On further inspection after the links were posted, I don't think it's going to be a happy ending for the buyer. I hope I am wrong though.

It would be a pretty cool story if it were real.

+++1. The guy seems like a really great guy, but I would be amazed if the real deal was sold through ebay, rather than via REA, Goodwin, etc. who's going to let a real one go for just $170???

Best of luck to the gentleman, however. It would be wonderful to think that fate could smile so tremendously upon him!

+++1. The buyer seems like a great guy, but do you really sell an authentic Wagner in that venue, rather than through REA, Goodwin, etc., with an appropriate reserve? What legitimate seller would let one go for that price?

It would, however, be wonderful to see fate smiling down with such tremendous intensity on a good guy in a screwed up world! I hope it happens.

Best wishes,

Larry

And .... if you go to their web site and search their pop report for Wagner you now get the following message:

"Trading card removed from the database after review. The latest analysis shows that the cyan ink used to print the card dates from the 30s".
