The Nun's Wagner

[ctownboy]

At 11:59, I asked how Andrew acquired the card and why he is willing to sell it for $75,000 when it supposedly last sold for $220,000.

At 12:33, Andrew lists it in the Tobacco section of the B/S/T.

At 12:55, Andrew states he didn't know the card was worth so much money.

SO ---

Andrew still hasn't answered HOW he obtained the card and hasn't answered WHY he is willing to sell it for about 1/3 of the price ti last sold for.

Furthermore, he states that he has been on this board for awhile yet doesn't know that a T206 Wagner (even in THAT condition) is worth quite a bit of money.

Strange.....

Tim, it is a conspiracy Leon and the other Admin's have cooked up.

Bring back Cobb and Edwards and their T206 Wagner, add in a guy who thinks Comiskey is in a photo from 1879 and not only has experts to prove it but also auction houses willing to sell it for him (while totally ignoring an expert in photo ID) and THEN to top it off, have a guy named Andrew come on with HIS T206 Wagner.

Why would they do this to us? RATINGS!!!!!

They are about to sell the board to a massive company that is looking to expand its empire and the more page clicks they can have the higher the price they can sell the board for.

David, Love the Conspiracy Theory!

Hank, You WERE plagiarizing me!

This thread keeps getting wackier by the moment, but I've got to get some sleep!

I don't have a good enough imagination to dream all of this stuff up. No way.

David makes a good point. As funny as this whole thread is, it doesn't negate the fact that a scam was attempted to be perpetrated by someone that apparently doesn't know too much about cards. Fortunatey, most of us know the provenance of the card and the story behind it so nobody got taken.

David,
Yes, this is ceratinly a crazy, humerous thread; but you are correct in that someone knowingly (It certainly appears anyway) tried to scam others. Not being a lawyer or ever educated in such issues, is there really anything anyone can do about it though?

Edited: On a lighter note......can't wait to see what Sterling and B&L have in their upcoming auctions!
