Hi, Everyone
Can someone tell me if T206 Wagner card is printed in 'Sweet Caporal?
I have noticed original company T206 printing out in several models. The most valuable card was Wagner yellow in front & back it said, 'Piedmont' cigarette. I was wondering T206 Wagner existing out there. Front of the both cards are red & back appear 'Sweet Caporal' & 'Piedmont' cigarette than below said, factory #30 2d district NY. Here's a link to the picture: http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x305/BBJunks/

thanks you
ping,

Most T206 Honus Wagners have Sweet Caporal backs. Only a few have Piedmont backs. The card in the picture is a reprint.

The card in the picture is fake. Not only that, whoever made it screwed up and put a Sweet Cap "350 subjects" ad when the card only came with the "150 subjects" back. S/he tried to cover up the screw up by pasting "150" over the "350".

The pix does show a Sweet Caporal 150 back.....however, the 1st clue that belies it is a fake
is the "Factory 30" bottom line. The Wagner card was printed only with two backs.....

Ted,
Look again and see where "150" was pasted over "350"

It's definitely pasted over. What a poor job.

Nice catch!
