Search the board for the McNall Gretzky Wagner and you'll see some of the answer to this--I think we'd all like to know who this card once belonged to, and how good that person was with scissors. Mystery!

I have not seen anything tracing it back beyond Alan Ray.

Ray would not say where he acquired the card, to this day keeping mum about what the card was up to between 1909 and 1986. He was forced to sell it because of "a money situation," Ray was quoted as saying in a 2001 New York Daily News article by O'Keeffe and colleague Bill Madden, which first traced the buying-and-selling history of the card.
