One would think that if you are trying to sell an item for 600K, you would at least check spelling and grammer of your listing.

Correct spelling is "grammar."....sorry, couldn't resist.

Barry,

That comment was not humurous (????????)
grammarically (????) speaking. I couldn't resist either.

I clearly have the poor grammar part down... Now I just need to create my own Wagner T206 and a website dedicated to proving its authenticity...

Do you end auctions early?

Sorry, but we do not end auction early. Auctions will go for the full duration

LOL!! Looks like they ended the auction early!

I have learned that the cousins are writing these stories and distributing them using the web site http://www.prweb.com/. The site is used for companies to send out press releases to online news companies. The news companies just grab the stories from them without discernment.

The owners say "We want everyone to have the facts."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has anybody seen any facts up to this point?

I called the auctioneer today and left a message. He called me back and seems like a really nice guy. We spoke for approximately 25 minutes. He knows the whole story. At the end of the day I think it is more about publicity. I told him at the end of all of this he will be out a lot of time, make no money and could possibly be a laughing stock. He took it in stride. He says he is only going by all of the experts who have authenticated it and is a venue only. I guess the company who authenticated it knows some hockey player....or vice versa and that gives them some credibility, according to him. After we spoke and spoke I just had to let him know that no matter what is said, or done.....it is still just a fake card. Plain and simple.

There are two facts:

1. It's a reprint
2. The sellers know it's a reprint
