Honus Wagner T206 Piedmont Back

[Jay Wolt]

That was interesting, thanks for posting it.
I suppose the card now has value since its been on a tv show and is famous in its own right.

The 'Treasure Detectives' are racist! The card is real.

Had to be skeptical when a green Cobb port begins the video.
And what's wrong with a brown paper bag? Peter Chao used to carry his stuff in his pocket.

I'm scanning eBay now for "Once in a lifetime chance to own the famed T206 Wagner featured on hit show Treasure Detectives" with a BIN of $100,000.

Last year in March, i spoke with the guy who authentified this card.
I meet this guy at the Montreal Card show.
I asked a couple question about his authentification.

He said that the card is period correct(1910) with all the test made by these two guy and all her expert...
he dont said the card is a real ' Regular ' Wagner... perhaps a pre-print ..... a test card etc etc etc. So it was a funny conversation with this guy

The more funny thing is :
2 week before the Montreal show i write an E-mail to a guy i know for long time who work now for ACA grading, and i sent to this guy a pic of that Wagner ( ungraded ) and i ask to him for his opinion.
his answer is immediatly : This card is a Fake.
Immediatly after that i send to this same guy the picture of the Wagner graded by the company where this guy work....

His answer was : OK you will speak with the owner of ACA at next MTL show to ask your question.....
LOL

The brown paper bag was to put over his head and to breath into after he received the good news.

"Now we can't take it out of the case......." No, wouldn't want to do that after all of the trouble it took to find someone to put it in a case

Well, these guys figured out a way to make some money off this thing. Good for them. They may finally admit to what they've been told all along, but they've probably made at least what a "real" low-grade copy of the card could've sold for off of it..

Personally, I think it would be kinda cool to have THAT card. Just for the story behind it. Although, I wouldn't be willing to pay much for it.. THIS card may be one of the most famous individual cards in the hobby(albeit for legitimately negative reasons)..

Has anyone authenticated the bag?

I doubt they were paid very much money... at least not anywhere near 300k

Don't be too quick to judge, the bag is legit.
