Unfortunately, it looks like a fake to me.

There should be a solid black line around the central image (orange background and uniform). I do not see one on this card. Even with the wear on the card (which just doesn't look right), there should be evidence of this black border. Many of the known fake Wagners share this diagnostic condition of a missing border.

Also, regarding the wear around the edges.....real T206s don't wear like this. The wear on this card matches the contrived wear inflicted on fakes, to try to make them appear old.

Therefore, I would not waste my money on submitting it.

For under $20 you can get a uv light on eBay... Last one I saw was $16 for shipping and all. If that card of yours is illuminated with black light, it will fluoresce, because it is printed on paper that is 60 years old or less, paper that has had brighteners added. As they're saying above, the card is a reprint. I suggest you get a black light, a uv light, then illuminate some real T206s along with that one, then you'll see the proof.

Just in case you need a 12th opinion...

coun⋅ter⋅feit

1. an imitation intended to be passed off fraudulently or deceptively as genuine; forgery.


By the way, even the rust is fake...


Lovely Day...

Sorry your card is a fake, but if you consign it to Coach's corner, theyd send it to FCG (Famous Card Grading) and it would be entombed FCG 1

That card is an easy one, missing the thin black line around the photo and the "G" on the uniform is touching the border. Both of these show that the photo was cropped when they designed this reprint.
