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?

the auctioneer
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.

I will admit, I have been mildly entertained by this whole ordeal. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. I am also curious to see if eBay actually lets this auction run its full course. The real irony here is that if these two cousins had spent this much time and energy on a credible, legitimate business venture, they would've likely been on their way to making close to the same amount of money that they seek for this "Wagner". _______________________________ €hû¢k Wölƒƒ Last edited by CW; 04-12-2012 at 10:04 PM.

2. She knows they're fake, we know they're fake. 3. Someone won't know or someone won't care. P. T. Barnum said it best...... The potentially sad thing about this, is that someone ignorant of the hobby might buy it, then a month later they'll stumble onto net54 and want to show off their new possession.

The auction appears to be live, with a starting bid of only $500K...
Link to eBay auction edit: auction pulled. Link will not work. They have also posted what appears to be a new YouTube video, as well as a preview of the new painting created to depict the owners' ordeal with this card. Yes, it keeps getting better! http://youtu.be/DrZNmp_eYMY Last edited by CW; 04-19-2012 at 05:30 PM. Reason: name.... €hû¢k Wölƒƒ
