How many Wags?
It seems like a Wagner is popping up once or twice a year in auctions these days. And crowd wisdom seems to peg the total number of Wagners surviving to be around 50, give or take a few that haven't see light in a while. T206Resource.com shows 46 unique examples.
What percentage of the Wagners that left the factory do you think survive to this day? 10%? - meaning there were ~500 issued. 50%? - meaning there were ~100 issued? Or maybe 1%, meaning that there were 5000 released in cigarette packs.
The true answer may be lost to time, but it is something we can take an educated guess at. So what's your estimate? Of all the Wagners that we can hold in our hands today, what percentage does that represent of all the ones that were released, and therefore existed at some point in the past?
