Thanks again for sharing these hobby nuggets of gold, David. I guess it's apropos to add the announcement for it....Burdick wrote this letter to famed collector John Wagner a few days before he did the announcement for the ACC, below. In JR Burdick style, no profit was intended.
**And this "could" be a bit of a new revelation here, it seems Burdick is first thanking Wagner (no relation to the T206 Honus Wagner at all) for giving him a T206 Wagner? If that is the case it has to be the only time in recorded history a T206 Wagner was given away, not part of any promotional contest etc....just given to a collector because he still needed it to fill a hole. Mr. Burdick had only seen one other one at the time.
