The Oval Wagner

[frankbmd]

Are you tired of Wagner reprints with four sharp corners and "Reprint" clearly visible on the reverse? I am.

Are you tired of Wagner reprints with 20th century "aging" techniques applied to obscure the "authenticity" of the reprint? I am.

Are you tired of spending a couple of million dollars on one of those seldom seen graded Wagners? I am.

Allow me to proudly introduce to you (not my listing) the "Oval Wagner" with 21st century "Renaissance" aging methodology. My Amerigo Vespucci Rookie card looks better after spending 500 years in the same North Carolina estate sale after being left there by Amerigo himself.

Review the listing yourself. I'm withholding my assessment so as not to affect the outcome of the auction.

Perhaps not surprisingly, I've seen worse.

Dammit Frank. How insensitive of you. I had my snipe at $1,000,001.99. Since you outed the diamond (or oval as the case may be) in the rough, I may have to up my snipe...

I hate misleading listings that claim it's a "rookie" card when it's not.

Quite amazing how the print is so bold in the name despite being sanded with a belt sander!

I noticed that as well. I guess the seller didn't want to age/trim the name off the card, though anyone interested would know the Wagner card at a glance.

Artisan craftsmanship dictates "hand sanding".

Even more impressive than the card itself is the percent of bids by the top bidder with the seller as well as the second highest bidder's 57 bid retractions.

That I didn't notice.

From the listing..."Take a look at the pictures and judge for yourself."

OK, done. It's a fake!
