Marc S.<<Finally, there appears to be two schools of thought on Net54 regarding this Wagner that breakdown along
the lines according to longevity in this hobby. The newer collectors tend to believe this card is "infallible".
The older group tend to be more skeptical regarding this card's true condition....despite the fact that it is
professionally graded.>>
I don't want to say I'm a newer collector, but given that I'm only 31 years old, I don't think I quite yet am a hobby dinosaur. Perhaps a few more years.
I think there is a good portion of newer collectors that simply do not know what to think. There is ample evidence out there to at least be questioning of the card's true condition and how it may or may not have changed over the past 15 years. That said, there is also what appears to be a clear case of sour grapes by many of the hobby dinosaurs against a) both the card itself and b) some of the major players involved with the card over the past 15 years. As such, there is nothing definitive to sway the argument one way or another. At the end of the day, though, I think this continuing and ongoing debate only serves to raise the profile of the card itself...
