Possibly the funniest description I've ever read!

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>In case you are interested, below is a link to the images of the card being offered in the auction. While I understand that large items like posters or ad signs sometimes can't be photographed at a head on angle, I find it amusing when these one inch (or so) long pieces of cardboard are photographed to appear like a desert highway dissapearing into the foothills. To his credit, though, he got the upper left of the plastic holder in perfect focus.<BR><BR><a href="http://wagnercard.tripod.com" target=_new>http://wagnercard.tripod.com</a>/

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>sure looks like someone went to a lot of effect for rough up a reprint. With wear like that, there should be plenty of soiling and discoloration, which isn't there. It also looks too shiney for that much wear.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>I don't think there should be much debate about whether or not the card is authentic, as it is obvious to me that even the seller knows it's a fake. If the seller thought it was real (and chose, for whatever reason, not to consign it to MastroNet or get it looked at by PSA or SGC), he would have 1) Taken pictures that were actually in focus and head on and 2) actually had the images as part of the auction description. It is worth pointing out that in his past auctions descriptions, he was actually able to provide head-on and in focus images of the Gameboy cartridges he was selling. So it's not as if he has that rarest of rare cameras that only allows one to take out of focus 15 degree photographs.<BR><BR>Trust me, if the seller thought he actually had a card worth over $10,000 he would have provided in focus pictures.<BR>
