Scott ElkinsAlso, I have never looked at any Wagner under a microscope or a loupe (I doubt many here have). I saw one of these 1950's Wagners in person at a card shop in Gatlinburg, TN in 1987 and another around a dozen years ago from an eBay seller with large scans. The only thing I can tell you is the one in Gatlinburg looked identical to the real Wagner it was setting beside of (but, both were in a glass case and in the thick screwdowns of the time). Also, the one on eBay looked real (by the scans of course). In fact, both of them look identical to the Piedmont Wagners I have seen that are claimed to be real. Also, it is widely known that Bill Mastro wanted the PSA 8 Wagner graded quickly and put in a slab! If I sold someone a legitimate card that was not trimmed nor questionable in any other way, I would not care if they slabbed the card or not!
