Cobb/Edwards reprint...........
I've read the book a couple of times-after the first time I read it,I HAD to see what it looked like.
Then,one day on Net54,there was a link in a thread (can't remember the title of the thread),and it took me to a site where these two found an auction house who was going to TRY to auction off the fake.You should have read the auction houses' write up on it!!! But then,there it was!!!A photo of the front and back!!! No doubt about it,was fake as can be-they know this,thats why they won't send it in to be graded. I wish I could remember the thread...........

The board's best guess was that a Wagner reprint was glued onto a real T206 common. The two owners sent the card to be chemically analyzed, and a small piece of the back was removed and tested. It was deemed to be genuine antique paper, and consistent with paper from the early part of the 20th century. Obviously, a modern reprint wouldn't pass that test.
Based on that conclusion, the owners believed their card was genuine.

Hey Dan!
No,the "Wagner" the thread is about is regarding two individuals Cobb & Edwards who claim to have a real Wagner,but won't submit it for grading-because it is fake.
There is a section of the book that is about them and their card. Sincerely,Clayton

If you think the friends I was referring to are any of the boneheads you mentioned. You are wrong I was actually referring to your client you know Dave, as well as Joe Orlando both I consider friends. But O'Keefe infers in his book that they wont grade the Cobb/Edwards Wagner due to an old boys club atmosphere that goes on in the hobby. I don't like any of the peolpe you named, well I actually don't dislike Goodwin but the rest of those jokers can go away as far as i'm concerned. Also Leon can vouch for this as I discussed it with him at the dinner. I feel putting the Cobb Edwards junk in the book took the focus off the true story (in my opinion) and the reason for the book. Heck when i would put an irrelevant topic to my thesis in a paper the teacher always put a big x over thhe whole paragraph. I feel that's what should have been done with the Cobb/Edwards chapter to not dilute going after the true bad guys (in my opinion).
