<< <i>I'm confident that it was a reprint. >>

I agree but I'm alleging it just in case....
Back when I was stationed in NY, a guy brought me a Wagner he said one dealer said real, 2 said fake.
He bought it for 350$ at an antique store upstate. I told him that it was too high a price to be real. If an antique place has old tobaccos, they usually price them in the 5's and 10's since they don't book them out and the condition is usually fair to poor from my limited experience - this guy was waiting for someone to take the bait...under inspection, there was a crease that you couldn't feel - obviously a photo of the original crease - also the face was too glossy. I told this story before....but I bet there still may be a few genuines hiding in old books in someone's attic?

Stone: I'm not saying that there aren't more genuine Wagners out there. I'm just saying I'm 99.9999999999999999999999999999999% sure that a child is not going to find one at a baseball card show going through a dealer's vintage common box.

Could you be a little more accurate...for the record?

i am confident that it is:
BULL $%!T
i was driving along a mountain road late at night, it was pouring rain.
in the darkness i noticed two shadowy figures standing on the roadside. i pulled the car over to investigate and lo behold it was halle berry and carmen electra. they were clad only in soaking wet white t-shirts , it appeared that they had missed the bus that was to take them from the movie set to the hotel. they asked me for a ride but i refused because the hotel was 20 miles in the other direction. they told me if gave them the ride i could spend the night with them. i agreed....when i awoke i was startled to see my wife, she asked me if i was going to sleep all day or hang the mountings for the drapes she bought.

<< <i>While i was there i was talkin to one of the guys about cards and he told me this fantastic story: his friend was at the card show about 10-15 years ago, and he was checking out all the vintage common boxes for $15 each when he found a HONUS WAGNER TOBACCO CARD!!! this card was in INCREDIBLE shape, could be at least a PSA 6. i think thats a really great find, and definitly worth the time looking thru vintage common boxes!! >>
Yawn* Do you have anything dumber you would like to add to that?
<< <i>but the guy couldnt hear him (he was a deaf mute ) >>
Pigs.
<< <i>GREATEST LOSS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>
I believe that card belongs to me!
Around 10-15 years ago, I was at a show and was looking through the common bins for 1997 Topps cards. At $15 a pop, I was very careful to buy only 50/50 centered cards. I found a few, then opened my wallet and paid the guy. Later when I got home, I noticed my T206 Wagner was missing from my wallet.
After a devastating couple of months, it finally occured to me that when I bought the '97's, I must have pulled the money and the Wagner out at the same time, with the Wagner falling into one of the common bins. The next guy must have noticed the card and purchased it.
My O my............now what do I do? I've since moved and don't remember the dealer.
My loss and somebody's gain.

<< <i>Greatest destruction ever: >>
As a lycanthrope, I must confess the fear and pain of exposure weighs heavy on my soul. It was July 8th 1983 and I was negotiating with Jerube Jarvis a well known dealer in exquisitely preserved 33 Goudeys. My head was swimming with delight at the chromatic cardboard wonders before me. The time just seemed to evaporate when much to my dismay, I had mindlessly forgotten it was a night of the full moon. My altered state transpired rather slowly and the shop owner didn’t even notice the change. When it was apparent, it was too late! Oh, the carnage…how could I have done so much damage to all those Goudeys! And, yes Jerube too….when I awoke….

Right on target - it's a shame that the internet has changed forever what it was like to be a burgeoning pubescent trying to cop a peak at a centerfold at the candy store before the guy behind the counter ran you off into the night!
