Could be chalking up a new Wagner find shortly!

I was contacted through http://www.t206.org a few days ago by a woman in TN who claims to have found a Wagner "in a cigarette pack that was buried under some rims and tires on a piece of land my family has owned for a long time". She's sending me scans tonight or tomorrow to estimate it's condition. She said it did have some staining on the front though, so we'll see. This is pretty exciting! I will definitely share with the group. |

So what are you saying? you're just going to authenticate it for her, or are you going to buy it? etc... |

Being in the Automotive industry. I would like to know the rims that were found? They did not make rims back in 1909 for cars. Sounds like a good story/find though |

Interesting that she "found" this card so soon after the recent sale of another Wagner. |

It never ceases to amaze me how many stained/beatup Wagners show up with perfectly square corners. |

To find a Wagner in a shoebox in an attic with other tobacco cards would indeed be astonishing; but to find one in a pack under a tire rim is beyond the realm of possibility! |

Obvious fake for all the reasons stated. I would love to see a photo of the supposed cigarette pack it came out of. There are a lot more fake Wagners than fake cigarette packs. I imagine you may get a few of these with the recent news of the $2.3 million dollar card. Time to cash in those reprints. |

If the land were her grandfather's the story might be a bit more believable. |

Speaking of spending exsorbant amounts of money on reprints, just check out some of the auctions on yahoo. If they are real bids, some buyers are bidding 30 dollars and up for obvious reprints. Suppose they maybe think they can fool someone out of even more money, ugh. |

We would suggest you have one of the grading companies evaluate the card for you. Trae will be able to give you the information. |

Unfortunately no, it is not real. Below is a pic of a real Wagner...the lettering of yours isn't right, the borders of yours aren't outlined correctly...and the chances of finding a Wagner with a Piedmont back are slim at best (not impossible) but much less likely than finding a Sweet Caporal back. Since your grandfather probably wasn't around collecting packs of smokes in 1909, I'm going to assume he would have picked up the item much later...and by that time reprints would have already been out. |

Go to www.sgccard.com There is a customer service number on thier site, and for a real Wagner you'd want to arrange a time to take a trip to SGC yourself and they would do a 2 hour service for $100. |

If the words "Wagner, Pittsburg" are in black....don't bother wasting your time with a grading service...case closed its fake and probably worth about $2.00 |

Very simply...the letters on any real T206 are more of a brown shade, not black like the ones in your card. Also it is true the players last name and then the first letter in the team name should be larger than the other letters in the team name...yours are all the same size. |
