You could be right about this.

This summer I picked up a time life book on the 1900-1910 decade that was printed in 1969 and in it there is a paragraph on t206 and tobacco cards
that refers to the Wagner as being bootlegged. Combined with the 1911 newspaper clip I posted earlier in this thread it's possible that Wagner and Plank were
never inserted in packs.

The collection I saw auctioned in CT years ago included a Wagner. The entire group, all T206 and T205 if I recall it right had been kept in a cigarette carton.

I didn't see anything about that batch that would make me thing the Wagner hadn't simply come from a pack and been put with the other cards.

How were the cards packaged in Polar Bear bags? Were they just loose?

Anyone notice the Hindu ad shows the names at the Top of the cards? Wonder why?
