Seems to me that the more you post about this issue, the more you give credence to their claims. STFU and let this issue die the death that it needs to is what I think.

Fellas, Mike O'Keeffe is one of the good guys in this hobby. Put the conspiracy theories away and remember that he and only he sheds public light on the fraudsters among us -- regardless of whether he knows T206s as well as some of the dorks on this board.

While I think he gives too much slack to Cobb and Edwards you're right he's the only mainstream media journalist reporting on the fraud in our hobby and for that we should thank him.

Alteast the 52 Mantle is real. This obvious fake Wagner is not even a good fake. Yes and I made a mistake by trying to compare Samford to these two nut jobs. He had alot more class. Thinking on it I should have compared it to say.....Obama trying to pass off Obamacare in comparison to these two passing off their fake Cobb. No political Pun intended.....just the best example I can come up with.

How do those sour grapes taste you whiny little loser. Leon I know you agree with this blowhard but no politics should mean no freaking politics.

Who's whining?

I would hope we can get this thread back to it's original premise, good or bad. Also, anymore political comments and they will be deleted per the rules. I am not taking sides......

Back to topic, I think O'keefe does expose the bad side of our hobby and that is well needed. Unfortunately, good news doesn't sell. Eventually these two African American guys with the Wagner card will be completely played out and they won't be in the media anymore. It's just a matter of time. No one will ever buy their fake card for real money though I might actually give $50 for it now just to have something to talk about.

Yeah, I know...where is it? Who won it? Where did the money go that you collected? I never saw a followup post, I must have missed it.

Amen to that. This hobby needs muckrakers more like Michael O'Keeffe.

As for the Wagner in question, what really needs to happen is that Cobb & Edwards need to agree to have their card scanned with a super high resolution scanner and compare it to a high resolution scans of a known legitimate Wagner where the print nuances can be scrutinized at a macroscopic level. I'm very confident the controversy will go away once the card is reviewed in this manner.
