You have only three cards and one is a major rarity. This doesn't sound kosher. |

I thought we celebrated April Fools Day on the 1st? If you're being serious & the cards are real, you may have something with the Doyle card. |

How fortunate... one of the 3 cards you found is also one of the rarest. |

I recentely found a box of cards in my grandfather's attic and they have some flags and pictures of generals and a man named Wagner with Pittsburg written crossed his chest. I doubt they are worth anything but if you email me I can add your email to my spam list or better yet try to hook you up with this Nigerian Prince I know. |

Dear troll, the least you could do is make it interesting or believable. |

So correct you are. I am surprised one card isn't some guy with blue eyes. Anyway, with the new registration process I will only be approving AFTER I get user id, first and last name and daytime ph#...That will at least help the cause but I guess nothing is foolproof. Except for the Doyle it could have been believable. |

Before everyone jumps down this guy's throat, remember this is EXACTLY how Skydash started. I agree, sounds too good to be true, but sometimes people pick up fake cards at an antique shop or garage sale thinking that they may have some value but without knowing for sure. I don't think that everyone who posts here should automatically be labeled a troll. |

Joe...I agree...let's wait and see...he's getting a "knew" scanner...so pics should be up soon! This is kinda how the butter cream ruth in the current rea was re-found...although I'm septic-al! |

No need for a knew scanner, only need to go to a good Copy Store (ie Kinkos) and they can scan them for you. |

If the poster was savvy enough to find this forum and knew enough to identify the cards as "T206" and use the words "hands above head" then it would have taken him 2 minutes to find out the answer to his query. This is not how Shydash played out, this poster should not be indulged, and mine should be this thread's last post. |

Exactly Joseph. The Davis was described as "white uniform with a blue background", but on the Doyle, Natl he just happened to nail "hands above his head". |

Probably the same poster who wants info on a Ruth photo that he refuses to show anyone. That one was mildly amusing. This one was too easy. |

I think this guy is legit. He said his cards are not in good condition so I guess he also considers the "Natl" part on his Doyle N.Y. could have been hand written. |

Rick, Don't let the skeptics scare you away. They have good reason to be skeptical. If your claims are legit, you wont find a better place or more knowledgeable group of collectors around. marty |

I will not pass judgment without seeing scans even though I would be extremely surprised if it was legit. However, we should remember that although exceedingly rare the 'miracle find' does sometimes happen. |

While I agree that the odds of them being real are slim, I think we should all cut Rick some slack... I've exchanged a few emails with him and he seems like a decent guy. It could be a miracle find, or it could be guy who unknowingly has fake cards, or it could be someone looking to prank/scam, but I think that it's only right to reserve judgment until we actually see what he's got. If no scans/photos show up in the next few days then I'd say it's safe to assume it's a troll. |

...to apply statistical reasoning to extremely unlikely events is why Honus Wagner reprints continue to sell for $100 or more on ebay (and why people buy lottery tickets and play slot machines). These stories always remind me of an article I once read about how everyone thinks they have a great book to write about themselves when most people really don't. In much the same way novice collectors think they're the special ones with the great find -- that they just won the lottery. While technically true that "the 'miracle find' does sometimes happen" -- yes, people do win the lottery -- it is this dream that keeps the scam artists alive (and the casinos profitable). I'd prefer not to perpetuate the myth and come down hard on these people -- especially so in this case when the evidence of fraud is so completely overwhelming. |

It's always sobering to be in a convenience store or one of those gas station mini marts and watch people who appear not to be particularly well off keep plunking down money on scratch tickets. I guess it's a necessary revenue device for states, but it leaves a bad taste. |

Guys, I found a "Wagner" card in some sort of plastic case with a red and white label at the top. It says "McNall/Gretzky" on the label. Kind of looks trimmed though. Worth anything? Probably not, huh? |

I agree with Paul's assumptions 100%. Anyone that writes that poorly shouldn't be allowed on a computer. They should be studying remedial English. We aren't talking a typo here. We are talking completely illiterate. Red flags abound.. BTW, there is no comparison at all to Skydash. The way Skydash wrote and the way this scammer wrote are 2 entirely different things. For all of those saying not to be skeptical go ahead and send some money to this person. |

Anyone who sends money to this person doesn't deserve to have it in the first place, in my opinion. Maybe I am an optimist but I have met enough stupid people and seen enough bizarre things happen that I don't immediately discount something as impossible. Implausible, yes, but not impossible. |

The tip off to me is "I doubt they have any value." That is not an appropriate comment and raises a really high red flag. |
