Wentz, Nash and Bill Mastro

[wolf441]

I think the main issue with the Cobb and Edwards "Wagner" is why it has been given so much attention. People try to pass off fake Wagners on ebay all the time, with the description "most likely a reprint, but it WAS found in an old estate sale and does not say reprint anywhere..." I can remember watching the original piece on HBO's Real Sports and being very interested at the beginning of the program. And then they showed the card and I literally laughed out loud. Anyone who says that they cant tell for sure if it's real or if it's fake needs to spend a little more time checking out what a real T206 looks like. Race has absolutely nothing to do with the issue, other than the fact that I don't believe that Cobb and Edwards would have received nearly the attention that they have if they were just two white bozos as they wouldn't be able to play "the card collecting establishment just doesn't want to believe us" card. Just my opinion.

Go read all the previous posts and you will find your answer. Out of $800+ collected after refunds of those who backed out it was all donated through a local group. I am not going to re-hash the old threads. If you had participated thanks. If not, then why bring it up? The Mantle was only to go if all lots were sold....thus bringing the total amount for help alot higher. It was explained before a year ago when it blew up. Nothing to do with a blatant fake wagner and two cons trying to get publicity on it. I thought this was about Wentz, Nash, and Mastro?

I agree with this. Let's please stay on topic. There is enough bickering to go around for everyone. But anything not pertaining to the original post, in this thread, lets take it to another thread, please.
