Default My take on Michael O'Keeffe's book, "The Card"

Posted By: MW

tfever,

Thanks for posting the enlarged image of the top of the T206 Wagner. Although light, the red line is clearly visible and should not have been missed by O'Keeffe -- especially since he uses it as a "key piece of evidence" in his book. That is not to say that there is necessarily any malevolence on his part; I just don't think he has acquired enough knowledge about vintage baseball cards, particularly T206s, to write authoritatively about the famed T206 Wagner.

On a similar subject, I do not know why some continue to write that the card is undersized or has bat ears. I have closely examined it and it possesses neither of these undesirable qualities.
