Nice job by the news station in doing their own research before spending their own time on such a BS story

He's an expert guys. He has 100's of T206's, that's why he could only bid $170 as he had been building a high grade set w variations that was costing quite a bit. and conducted a 26 card inspection. I'm sure in his expert grading career he had handled both real and fake Wagners. Haters (or as he says gathers) gonna hate.

At least when he got the card he went over and above to secure the card... using a screw down case LOL!

It shows a bid of $170 (at least in the linked listing) , not sure where that BO amount came from ...???

When I was replying I had opened the link from Austin and not the one from the OP. Same card though, just went first on a BO as a reprint then sold as original which is where the story comes from. Regardless of the link you use, the picture matches the one in the article.

Got ya , all good , just didn't know where that had came from. Still crazy such a story actually has spread. No news other than bad story written and lack of fact checking

If you were contacted by a little old man who was basically giving away his baseball card collection and you saw this laying in there, you can't tell me that you wouldn't toss $150 at it as a gamble it's the 1 in a million chance it's the card? I'm sure that is what he was thinking, I'm not sure. Small price to pay for a chance at a million dollar card ;)

So what was the update that station had last night?
[MENTION=3754]MansGame[/MENTION] - except this "87 year old man" was an experienced eBay seller with other reprints. This buyer is a certified nutjob.

Decided to go back for the follow up story. Jason's facebook page seems to have been removed. i guess the embarrassment was too much to take!
