It looks real to me, but I am no expert.

Certainly, the John Cobb / Ray Edwards Honus Wagner T206 Piedmont back was a fake.

Has anyone credible ever advanced the "fake" theory? It was never clear to me the source of it.

No, I think it is just a perception people have based off the many odd circumstances surrounding the Gretzky PSA 8 Wagner.

As I recall it had something to do with it appearing on Long Island, but for that to even be relevant one would have to discount Alan Ray's story that his father bought it in Florida.
