Sherry Magie Error T206 -- Images ? Real ?

richtree · March 12, 2009 12:25PM

hey guys,

this is my first topic here. I have been around for awhile and would like everyone's opinion on this card. I picked it up because I was part of an old collection and it was worth a chance.

Anyone think this is real or fake? here are my scans below

thanks in advance

The font on the front doesn't look good. Ask IJustLoveCards. She's a T206er.

You have been around for less than a month if you consider that a while.
Nice card, you print it on a cannon or xerox?

Oh and cards and marshmallows are different things so do not toast cards edges with a lighter.

How you say...........Magie Zirconia?

richtree · March 12, 2009 12:37PM

damm....yeah, i figured it was lame....but there were a ton of cards that were legit and figured this was worth a shot....

I scanned using my HP all in one

Yeah, I am big error collector but never purchased anything be 1951.

This was my first chance so I guess I should have checked with you guys first!

thanks for the bad news

Ugh, it looks good! For a reprint that someone wasted their time burning, and folding in different ways. I like how they tore out a few pieces here and there.

wow, not even close.. to being close.

You might want to closely check some of the other cards in that old collection

REAL.

I'll offer a likewise fake, artificially aged, T206 Honus Wagner in trade.

Thats not real at all....

Heres a little info on the card from Scot Reader's book on t-206s 3rd edition:

Sherry Magee was a mainstay in the Philadelphia Phillies outfield for many years and a
terrific power hitter, cracking the National Leagues top 10 in slugging percentage in
11 different seasons. Despite his prowess at the plate, Factory 25 misspelled his
name Magie on the portrait version of his card as initially released. The error was
soon corrected, as reflected in the far more common Magee (Portrait).
Magie has so far only surfaced with the Piedmont 150 back. The number of known
specimens is thought to reside in the neighborhood of 100 to 200.

Also, for your knowledge in the future, I won't tell you publicly so scammers don't know, but the font that the card displays is not the type of printing font they used in that era. It did not exist (the one on your card) yet.

The "error" has nothing to do with the high value. It's because he was a Philadelphia Phillies ballplayer and those cards are always in very high demand.

Seen the OP talking about numerous E/V cards. Mentioned bidding one of these awhile back. I doubt/hope he's not a scammer fishing.

richtree- contact me for info on what to look for in a real vs. fake T206. Was this the card you were bidding on in the end of Jan. ? Was it on ebay? Sellers name? Curious if the seller is trying to slip fakes in lots.

And to answer your question about PSA and cutouts....unsure. I know BGS grades the 2006 Gordon cutout. Unsure if either company recognizes the DiMaggio.

I just saw an ungraded "Magie" error sell for 4,000 plus on ebay within the last 2 weeks

It wasn't in good condidtion either

I will get this card eventually right now isn't the time for 4,000 out of pocket

I am going to keep this card so one day I have a real error, real corrected, and fake verison....lol

thanks for the help

For sure 100% FAKE. Font is wrong and back is wrong. FAKE.

I knew there was a reason I was saving my stack of 1984 Topps Sixto Lezcano's!
