Not that I have seen. They are all recycled versions of the original.

It may just be my cynicism but here is my hypothesis of what happened.

The guy bought a reprint. Knew it was a reprint as it stated so and he put in a lot of bids to know that it was a reprint. He put it on craigslist (as referenced at the end of the article) to scam someone. The news picked up the story that someone in town had a Wagner. The News sought out more information and the guy was stuck having to come up with how he got it and why he believes it is real.

Just like the Edwards Cobb the news just takes the owner's claim that it is real as gospel and runs with it.
