The Wagner is not on permanent display, I missed it by 1 day last year.
Here is a link about the current exhibit up until April 9, 2015.

I put together a small collection inspired by one of the Burdick exhibits at the museum in 2012.
In 2012 after the Metropolitan Museum of Art presented the "Breaking the Color Barrier in Major League Baseball" exhibit, I decided to put together a mirror collection of the cards that were displayed.
The cards were from the Jefferson R. Burdick collection that is housed in the museum. They are of "some of the earliest and most illustrious players who moved from the Negro leagues into the Majors".
I now have 21 of the 22 cards. I'm missing the Hank Aaron 1954 Topps card. I included the museum links below, then scans of my collection. ENJOY!
