I have been looking at these two cards on eBay for months now and finally decided to pull the trigger. Individually they are graded by SGC as Authentic and look terribly trimmed but upon closer inspection it seems fairly obvious to me that they were next to one another on an original sheet and were either miscut at the factory, or more likely, hand-cut by someone from the original sheet. Are there any original D304 sheets out there? When you compare the right border of Cobb to the left of Wagner they line up perfectly. My plan is to jailbreak these two beauties and put them next to one another in an acrylic brick so they are back together again. I am also on the lookout for whatever card was originally to Cobb's right. If anyone spots a possible candidate let me know!

Cool.
What would be the odds of someone getting these two cards back together after being distributed to the public? My guess is hand cut from a sheet and kept together through all these years.... wow.

They were purchased together from someone who has been active on this forum in the past and who I believe has had them for some time (albeit not 100 years!). I can inquire into where he obtained them.

Apparently they were all offered together as part of a 2007 Philip Weiss auction:

These have been around for awhile. D304 "errors" or miscuts are hard to find which makes them pretty neat in my opinion.
More than that, the Cobb is in pretty good shape overall with a clean back. Nice pickup.

Check out the Chief Meyers card from the same auction. Appears to be a candidate for completing your Cobb and Wagner. Good hunting!!
Unh, sorry, cguidi, I think you said this. My bad.

Cool, man! Interesting how the color of the borders appears dramatically different...leads me to believe they were stored differently?

D304 are actually strip cards! WOWOWOWOWOW
D304s don't seem to come as miscuts very often. Those are some beauts in the original post, and are especially interesting due to their common placement on the sheet. Very cool.
The bottom of this scan has a miscut D304. Pardon the other cards, I am lazy...
