Yes, I was the underbidder when it was the in auction at Mastro. At this time I have no interest in the card as the date is not known. You have my word...I won't be bidding on it, unless the date is proven....As far as a black flag I doubt there is one. What there is is enough doubt about the cards true age to keep me away. It's a cool card..and I will even consider it a card....but the date is the issue...much like an AUT card ....cool card...just not going there. If it was proven definitively to date pre-1900....I would bid heavily...yes, I am the moderator but as a principal at an auction house said I should be called "the opinionator" as I do have one....just like you and everyone else...I am sorry if I offended you (truly) but had to speak my mind...For the record I am NOT saying I know the age of the card and I am NOT saying it's definitely not from the year on the flip...I AM saying I still have unanswered questions in my mind about the age and the motive to sell..I am sure there will be plenty of bidders for your card...I have no idea what it will bring as a unique Wagner card but I hope you get 100k for it...best regards
