Exactly my thoughts....there are sooooo many reprints and fakes out there. What is to stop someone from taking a reprint and making it looked aged or even fire damaged to conceal any "reprint" evidence....which could be the case here.....I'm waiting for a pic of the back from someone, who knows someone....blah blah blah

Looks burned... soaked... bent...
Natural age - even if in a grungly place... is easy to recognize. When so many different forms of damage appear present you have to think it was aged artifically. I mean, who finds a possible real Wagner and (a) doesn't know the magnitude (b) doesn't attempt to contact a larger party for authentication.

Without knowing more about how the OP come into it, I'll remain a skeptic.

Doubt its real, but as a potential buyer....how do you not jump at it for a reasonable price, you know?

The question is, whats a reasonable price. Would the seller sell upon authentication?

Id give them $50 for it no questions asked....that is, if I held it in my hand and felt it could be legit.

Could be a hard thing to prove its authenticity...I just got my Ty Cobbs back and both were legit "Thank God"!!!!

The name at bottom looks in red ink. If it is, definitely fake (should be black). I wouldn't touch that card.
True T206 cards tend to have a red/brown tint to the name at the bottom. The fact that it smeared red and not black is what causes me to not doubt its authenticity completely. But I do doubt it.

I find it funny when people want an informed decision, but can't post a clear photo. This looks like a scam photo for a bad ebay listing. If you have access to the card, get a good photo front and back and then ask our opinion. If seller will only provide an image like this, it's a scam.

A little brownish maybe, but not really red like that photo. But that photo is so crappy, who knows what the true color is.

Agreed, how anyone could possibly formulate a intelligent opinion from that photo is beyond me....

Sorry but that is all I have at the moment, as I stated I have asked for additional pics including the back....didn't mean to waste your time ...
