T206 Wagner RP - Professional distressed look?
 
Reatively new to T206 card collecting. I wasn't sure to laugh or take this seriously.

It is advertised as "Wagner T206 replica with professional distressed look"

The last time I checked, professionally destroying a ten cent card shouldn't exactly increase it's value..

Professional distressed?

Ha! He took a lighter to it.

Edited to add: Looking at his feedback, he has sold several of these for about $75/ea (average). Heck, I'm going to buy a bunch of reprints and a lighter and make big bucks!

Haha, I give him credit for the description...

I've brought these replica cards to card shops and card shows and jaws would drop!

...forgetting to mention the hysterical laughter that follows. :eek: :D

Looks like he has sold four other Wagner's like that one. Someone should send him a message saying they bought one from one of his buyers for $1,000,000 and were pissed to learn that it is a fake so they are now going to sue. I bet that would send him running from ebay.

GAI was so lax in their grading that they didn't even notice the T206 Wagner on the outside.
