It's ironic how predictable this type of stuff is, yet we see it over and over again and are somehow still amazed.

At the end of the day, if you tell somebody something they really just don't want to believe in their hearts - they aren't going to believe you. Whether that's the fact that Dad is Santa Claus, or that the T206 Wagner you found in the attic is a fake. Perhaps the most deep end example of this is that "Cobb Edwards" Wagner that those two guys have been trying to prove is real (it's not...) off and on for multiple decades now. Some of the lengths they have gone to are absurd.

It still somehow makes me feel like the bad guy to point stuff like this out. Guy at a show earlier this year came up to a dealer table I was standing at as if he had a snake in backpack, and pulled out a very obviously fake '49 Leaf Jackie Robinson. When I rendered my opinion (& the dealer agreed...) the guy just looked at us both as if we'd kicked his dog.
