With over 6 hours to go, this little gem has passed the $30,000 mark but still hasn't met the reserve. It has 16 bids. What exactly is going on here? There is a fake Wagner on ebay roughly once a week, but the auctions are usually shut down in mid-stream. Who is bidding this kind of money on a card that among other things has such a blurry picture that it is tough to tell what it really looks like?
Not only that, but should it sell, is the seller aware of the amount of trouble he will be in? He's not selling a $50 reprint here. He's looking at mail fraud among many other criminal charges (our legal experts can help me here). This is one of the strangest auctions I have seen yet on ebay. How has it gotten this far?
