than the famed 'Blue Eyed' Wagner of HBO special fame. Perhaps HBO should have a
special about this card, and the Daily News should write an article with
accusations that the reason the seller can't get $1 million for the card is
because the hobby is sexist.
And when a reporter says, "But card experts say your card doesn't look like
genuine examples," the owner will say, "That's what makes it so rare. Real
T206 Wagners that look real are common. Real T206 Wagners that look exactly
like reprints-- those are the rare ones."
From what I read, that was essentially the Blue Eyed Wagner's argument when
O'Keeffe pointed out that the text font on theirs was different then on genuine
Wagners. "That's what makes it special. A rare variation." Of course the
same reasoning could be applied to the Joe DiMaggio signed baseball where the
name is spelled Joel DiMaggioe.
