I'd love to see this kind of criminal prosecution in the "Coin Industry"...
For "fiddling with" collectibles and claiming that they are still
original... But the Chicago judge probably made this kind of criminal prosecution more difficult in the future, unfortunately... http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/...card-ever-sold Let's hope some of our hobby luminaries get ensnared!!! oly |

Let's hope some of our hobby luminaries get ensnared!!! oly Oh, this version of the story doesn't note that the Chicago Judge rejected the 30 months plea bargain - so there will be another amount of time agreed upon or a trial, one supposes... card dealer defendant is looking at up to 20 years sentence if found guilty at trial (but he also might be found not guilty, one supposes). oly |

Normally a "trimmed" card is undersize...but this particular card seems to have been cut with sissors from a full sheet many years ago. (Thousands of uncut sheets containing T206 were trashed by the printer when Wagner demanded that his card not be distributed with cigarettes, which he felt encouraged youth to smoke simply to get his card. At one time the margins were irregular and extra wide, and Bill Mastro, about 30 years ago, seems to have cut it down to spec and squared up the edges. PSA graded it 8-NM and since the card was not undersized, there was nothing that would indicate a trimming. Is trimming to make a card appear to be higher grade (hoping no one will notice the smaller size or the tight margins)the same as trimming away extra paper? It's still the finest T206, and the current owner thinks the publicity will add $1/2 million to the value.
Like the 1804 dollars, which are back-dated fantasies, people still want this finest known T206, which if it were any other card, it would be worth very little...as are almost all other cards that are hand cut from printer's spoilage rather than distributed in cigarette or gum packages. |

And Bobbie hasn't SUCCESSFULLY committed suicide yet because...? Probably too busy jacking off over pictures of Frankie and Joey looking at the Tower Treasure. Say! We should get Bobbie a hooker. Lord knows he can't get any any other way. |
