My father picked through the good T206's and pulled what he needed to complete his set. Before he left he decided to take a look at all the ones that were in bad shape too and there he found a Wagner with three borders missing. He paid twenty cents for this card  . He sold it in 1974 when he discovered his 3rd Wagner in Vermont.
Here is an article from 1973 that briefly mentions the find:

I didn't know this story thank you for sharing. I love to hear about the good old days of T206's.
