It's the most wonderful time of the year. Cobb/Edwards auction time!

Lol....wasnt this card already proven to be sandwiched on treasure detectives? Edwards even started crying because he realized his card was not genuine and now he's going to play it off like that never happened?? Wow what a idiot!

I thought they had the Wagner "graded" by some fly-by-night TPG company. The one in the auction is raw.

On Treasure Detectives, they cracked the slab before scanning it with an MRI.

Once and for all...this is a reprint. the type face on the caption is totally wrong (for starters). Period.

Mike...nice work...that should put an end to this once and for all!

[Cardboard Junkie]

I think the back is authentic!

"In 2013 the card was subject to an image scan at 1200 dpi to examine the sides of the card. Through this scan, completed with state-of-the art scanning equipment at Robin Imaging Services in Cincinnati, OH, it was determined that the card has not been sandwiched"

haha!

It is. That is a BIG part of the problem.

Yes, and oddly enough, their promotional site for the card actually has a page devoted to the card's appearance on the show.

This I do not get.

This is the BEST part of the deal!

"Shipping Instructions: The current card owner will hand deliver the card to the successful buyer once the wire has been received. Arrangements will be made following the sale."

This part, not so good:

"All property is sold 'as is, where is' and ALL SALES ARE FINAL"

Someone should bid on the card and when they win, they should pay them with photo copies of cash.

But didn't you see their description:

Many have disputed the authenticity of the Honus Wagner card, but nobody can disprove the authenticity with facts.

Who are we to say it's not real? It's not like we have 100,000 or so T206 cards as a collective group that we could compare it to. Or it's not like I have the same exact reprint sitting right in front of me which I've had since 1991 and I could just happen to have scans of like this...

What do you think the value of the card is as the infamous 'Cobb-Edwards Wagner'?

(reminds me of The Three Amigos btw, when they say infamous means -very- famous)

The piece has great fame as a 'hobby' piece.

If there were a hobby museum, would it be there?

Value of 2k? if offered at auction accurately?
