Default Some Questions about Vintage Cards that Keep Me Awake at Night

Posted By: Scott

Maybe Mitchell doesn't fetch as much because he wasn't a star.

Interesting about Wagner and caramels - it could be that he had an aversion to sugar similar to the one Wagner had for cigarettes? That theory wouldn't explain his appearance in the Cracker Jack set unless they lied to get his agreement, telling him that they would not be caramel-coated. The other set he appeared in doesn't use his likeness, IMO. Very good question.

I always wondered why the ATC reign was so short-lived, but I think someone explained that - could we get a repeat of the story?
