IMHO that is more a comment on the nature/tone this board has developed than anything to do with the card.

Not only has SGC authenticated it with full awareness of the risks and implications of doing so, but so has virtually every T206 expert who has seen and held the card.

Maybe we can get the "Cincinnati Wagner" duo/clowns to get their "expert" to do a paper analysis on this one too...

They did paper tests on the back of the blue-eyed Wagner. That paper was legitimate. The front, well, they forgot to test that part (from what I remember).

Haha!! I was being sarcastic. but I do beleive the Walsh to be genuine FWIW...

Interesting view re the desirability of the card from an investment standpoint, Leon.

The collective expertise of the people here who actually saw the card raw at the National is something I would trust infinitely more than any opinion from a scan. I don't care if every member here who hasn't actually seen the card thinks it is fake, they don't have the foundation to make that claim. To paraphrase John Nance Garner, an authenticity opinion from a scan is not worth a bucket of warm piss.

If the thing is a fake then it has fooled some of the most experienced collectors around and it is time to sell off all of my cards and do something else for fun because the world just became truly scary. I think it far more likely that a sheet got run with some blue ink in the tray.

I wrote the description for the Blue Old Mill Walsh last night and it was a pleasure spending an hour or so with it.
