Fake Wagner Comedy

[terjung]

It's not nearly as much fun, but my advice is to take the high road. Just direct them to SGC or PSA if they would like to pay for an industry-wide, respected opinion as to its authenticity. As a bonus, tell them that's the only way someone would be able to justify fair value for an authentic Wagner in case they were eventually looking to try to sell it.

Brian T is correct.

Good call, Brian. That is the response I've now sent.

I would have directed him to these guys:

Haha, classic!

I may be getting an email from him soon too. I get those types of emails 3-4 times a year on the Wagner as well.

FYI

Here is my page with 31 Wagners now (added a couple more)

Trae- why don't you give him a link to this board, where he can get the opinions of a large group of veteran baseball card collectors. That seems as good a resource as any, even if he's not going to like what he will hear.

No need. The name and team are too far from the lower frame line, and the bottom uniform button too close. And there's no matching registration problem to account for it.

Although the missing part of the B on his uniform is interesting, I can't recall seeing a reprint with that. But the scan is bad enough that I can't tell if it wasn't printed or just got lost in the fire damage
