Default T206 Wagner-Theory

Posted By: Dave Hornish

I seem to be in an SCD frame of mind this week. There is an auction ad for the Steve Myland collection in the current issue and one of offered items is a 1909 Honus Wagner Cigar label (actually three different ones). The round and rectangular versions have Honus' likeness on them and it resembles the famous Carl Horner image that was the basis for so many photos of Wagner. I'm sure many of you have seen these before.

This got me thinking (always dangerous) along two lines:

1) Honus did not object to tobacco use, only cigarettes (since he was hawking cigars). Or,

2) It was not a problem with Honus but rather a problem with the rights to the Horner image that caused his T206 card to be pulled. It's possible this could explain Plank's yanking as well. I am not sure if the Plank portrait is by Horner but no matter-someone owned the copyright to it. Maybe it took the copyright holder or the licensee time to figure out what was going on before demanding ATC withdraw the card(s).

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Dave
