Default My take on Michael O'Keeffe's book, "The Card"
Posted By: JimB

I am about halfway through the book. Ray, the guy who sold the card to Mastro, seems to have quite a resentment against him. Perhaps this is because he was bullyed into selling the card plus a bunch of others high-grade T206s including a Plank for 25k and then heard Bill turned around and sold the card for 110k to Copeland. Maybe he started a rumor about the card being trimmed out of resentment. I have no knowledge on this issue either way - just speculating.

The idea that a pre-trimmed Wagner had a red printer's line that was trimmed away seems suspect to me since we have never seen another T206 with such a printer's line.
