View Full Version : Post your favorite Honus Wagner card

As a new member here and a new vintage collector, I know there are a ton of issues out there that I've never even seen and I'm hoping to see some cool cards.
As for this topic, I don't intend it to necessarily be a card you own. It also doesn't have to be a card that is well known or worth the most. Although it could be any or all f those. I'm just hoping to see a lot of different cards that people like based on how they look or their history. If anyone else likes this sort of topic then perhaps we can do this with other players, sets, etc.
I'll post the Wagner that I thought was pretty nice which spawned this topic a little later.

One of my faves.
Here's a well know image on an uncatalogued issue. Measure's nearly standard cabinet size, cut from some type of box? I have many other Pirates, it's from some type of Pirate's World series winners issue.

Here is my Honus Wagner - it's also a perfect example of "Buy the card, not the holder."

Scott B.: Love that uncatologued quasi-cabinet. Bet it looks awesome in person.
I have a couple of Wagner cards that cost a pretty penny but if I had to pick a favorite it would be this humble postcard with its gritty detail.

This is the only one I have ever seen. Hope to have a PC796 or Novelty Cutlery Wagner someday.

Are Wagner stamps worth anything? I have a few from the 50's.
