Hey guys.....I'm just trying to interject some humor here, and as LEON has suggested....each post should display some BB cards.
Anyhow.....1000's of T206 collectors would love to have what I refer to as the "orange Wagner".....but, there are less than 100 of them available. And, at ridiculous prices.
So we have to be content with another fine-fielding Shortstop by the same name who I refer to as the "blue Wagner". Cards of Charles "Heinie" Wagner are very available.
The "Bat on Right" pose is in the 350/460 series in print Group B. Comprising of 16 (or 17) different T206 backs. The toughest being....AB 460....DRUM....LENOX....UZIT.
I have the AB 460. The DRUM, LENOX, and UZIT will be a quite a challenge to find.
I've always liked the two T206 poses of this Wagner that essentially complement each another. I cannot recall of any other T206 images of the same player similar to this
where the pose of one card is essentially the inverse of the other one. I thought this may indicate that he batted both ways. Not so, he was strictly a Right-handed batter.
Of course, there are 2 identical action poses of Chase and Matty with different colored caps. And Tinker with bat off & on. However, I do not see these pairs as equivalent
to the blue Wagners' uniquely related images.
Having said all that, it's time to display some blue Wagner cards. I have a lot of these to display, but Net54 limits us to 18 images/post. I will show more in my next post.
