PCI'm stating the obvious to many here, but the easiest way to spot a fake Wagner (and many other fake T206s) is to look at the name and city name at the bottom of the card ... on real T206s, the player's name and the first letter of the city name (and the first two letters in the case of "N.Y.") have the same larger font size, and the rest of the city name is in slightly smaller font. The difference is easily seen, even in a bad scan.
You can see in the scans above that the letters in both the player name and the city name are all the same size on the fake Wagner those two idiots are trying to sell (call it the "Nimrod Wagner"). Then compare the Nimrod Wagner to the scan of the real Wagner -- with the smaller font size after the "P" in Pittsburgh. No need to look any further than that, but when you combine the font size error with all the other defects (lack of a black border, etc.), then it is clear that this is one of the poorer attempts at a fake Wagner.
