Default Mystery Of The T206 Honus Wagner Uncut Proof Strip

Posted By: Brian Weisner


Hi Zach and Ted,
Actually none of the cards on the proof strip are in finished form.
1. Brown is missing the blue around the collar of his uniform.
2. Wagner's background is much more Orange than the usual card.
3. Bowerman is missing his blue collar and the red processing for the B
4. Young's uniform is white instead of the normal grayish color
5. Kling is missing the blue around his collar.

While none of the cards are in "finished form", the Wagner is the closest in the group and may have been a proof they wanted Honus to sign off on. If it did truly come from his Estate then that would be a plausible explanation. Has anyone here handled the strip? Be well Brian
