Frank WakefieldHey guys. It amaises me that just becuz you guys kno a lot of stuff about cards and becuz the cellar can't spell, then you think his Wagner card is phony.
I don't have any titanium dioxide on me, I'm not pre-1921. The catch is that if it IS present then the ink is post 1920, but the absence of it does not mean the card is pre 1920.
The error part is obvious. Those knuckleheads who provided the seller (probably should read 'would be seller') with letters supporting authenticity... THEY are the ones who've made the error. The error is that the card is a 1980s reprint.
If one of you guys will buy that card, I'd like to make a wager with you on the side... I'll bet $5 that the card doesn't smell of tea or coffee... don't you know this guy is so sharp he got some water colors to age the card, might have used an oven, too. Also, I'll bet another $5 that a 15 minute soak in a glass of water (you may use distilled water if you want to avoid mineral deposit possiblities) will result in some of the age washing away.
Maybe Mr. Cobb had a Plank, too.
Happy bidding...
