    I like how they give all the stories about other famous stuff being stolen. How exactly does the Hope Diamond factor into this auction?

    The Card: This is a very attractive T206 Honus Wagner. It is particularly bright and clean, with flawlessly bold colors, perfect registration, a bright orange background, and a crisp, bold portrait. It is also perfectly centered.


    It is?

    Yep. All except the "bright and clean, with flawlessly bold colors, perfect registration, a bright orange background, and a crisp, bold portrait. It is also perfectly centered." It is however a great usage of the word "particularly." It is also a nice card.

    Too bad , it wasn't from them dudes who's story was on ESPN. Then they could have something other than a pretend story to entertain themselves with.

    When someone says a card is perfectly centered and it is clearly not they lost me.


    All the other stuff was fluff and I can live with that.


    Why no mention of the pin hole?

    yuk yuk

    Excerpt from the story (I bolded the appropriate text):

    "The Card: This is a very attractive T206 Honus Wagner. It is particularly bright and clean, with flawlessly bold colors, perfect registration, a bright orange background, and a crisp, bold portrait. It is also perfectly centered. The advertisement for Sweet Caporal Cigarettes is boldly printed on the reverse. Graded PR-FR 1 by PSA, the card naturally has various condition flaws, including rounded corners, creases, and a few very tiny pin holes. It is a given that most T206 Wagners are in low-grade, so for a Wagner, the overall appearance is of greatest significance and cannot be communicated by just a numerical grade. Every card is different. No one is ever going to confuse this card with the famous Gretzky-McNall Wagner. But this card needs to make no apologies for its appearance. It has the most important characteristic that a T206 Wagner can possibly have: eye-appeal!"

    ahhh I see it now, once I got to the 'perfectly centered' BS they lost me.

    i dont think any card is literally "perfectly centered". I would say however that this one is extremely well centered compared to just about all other wagners.

    Uni I have seen perfectly centered cards. The Wagner does have nice centering, too bad they didn't market it as such.

    Those ESPN guys were clowns. Not even worthy of a story.

    It wasn't stolen, it was all just a misunderstanding involving one Mr. Tatum Bell.
