What is your favorite Honus Wagner?
 

I am a huge baseball fan and card collector. My favorite items to collect are old Pittsburgh Pirates cards. So without further elaboration you could tell Honus Wagner cards are basically holy grails to me. I recently pulled the trigger on a beautiful E93 wagner, but I continue finding wagner daily that highly intrigue me and make me awe. My question is, if you were to collect honus cards with the sole purpose collecting and non-resale which wagner would you chose, my list is as follows:

1. T206 (obviously from its history)
2. Henry Reccius Wagner
3. W600
4. E107
5. Tip Top Bread/ D322
6. M110
7. Nadja Caramel E104-2
8. E90-2
9. My E93 - had to put it up here since it is my baby right now, I may be biased ;)
10. E300

This is just my working list of ratings since I seem to find new ones daily that I love. Just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were and pick all of your wise baseball minds! Thank you very much and everyone's input is very much appreciated!

D381
 

Not mine anymore but could be my favorite Wags pose...

Always enjoyed the 48 leaf as it appeared to me as a child he was chewing tobacco, and hobby lore is/was he was anti-tobacco...or at least to marketing to kids.

I've always loved the E90-2 the best

M116

I'd go with the Colgan's Chips--the 'poor man's T206'. Here are a few others that are generally within reach.

Wagners that wag my tail
 

I would go with these as the cards that appeal the most to me:

E93 Standard Caramel
E95 Philadelphia Caramel
E135 Collins McCarthy
E254 Colgan's Chips
E-UNC Orange Border (close-up, not batting pose)
M101-4/5 Sporting News, etc...
M116 Sporting Life (blue background, but pastel not bad either)

Here are scans (cards not mine) of a couple of the less common ones on the list:

The E103 is my only Wagner and my favorite since the T206 is obviously way out of reach. My other favorite Wagner's (possibly within financial reach) are the E95, W600, and M116 blue background.

In my mind, E107. I wish they had a version of that card in his Pittsburgh uniform.

I also like the E90-2, T206 duh, and the M110.

My Wags:

T5 Wagner Fielding
 

Probably my favorite one....

My two favorites:

Honorable mention:

Also would have to go with the E90-2. I love the E95 Wagner as well

I finally got this one this year:
1906 fan craze -- Gorgous B&W image
http://net54baseball.com/picture.php...255137&thumb=1

My favorite is the Carl Horner photo.

Really like the PC796 postcard! Hadn't seen that one. Super cool!

Love the 14 CJ pose

My favorites are
 

The E125 and the Sporting Life Cabinet

Off the top of my head, this is my favorite Wagner photo and the E95 might be my favorite card of him (after the T206, of course).

Note: neither of these is mine.

Honus Wagner
 

Can`t go wrong with any Honus as far as I`m concerned. Below is my only Wagner but would love to add one of the following if I could afford it.
E 107
M 110
Voskamp Coffee
E 125

Awesome E90-2 Tony! I assume there's back damage?

Besides the T206 Wagner, an E107 would be my holy grail. But since neither will be in my future, I'm partial to the portraits like the M116.

I also like the E92/E101/E102 poses as well.

Dean,

No back damage at all. SGC killed the grade due to a faint purple ink stamp showing "Gabriels NY"

Looks like a 4 or 5 imho.

Great Wagner cards everyone!!

Tony

That pc796 is pretty awesome...i love the way honus is choking up and he looks like he's holding his breath waiting for the pitch.

Pete...that Pinkerton is A-mazing...I love how big the ball looks and in turn how small his mitt looks!

But with Honus...the portraits are where its at with me...onviously the t206 is quite special...I love the W600 portrait...the m116 the e103...the e90-2. The e107 is pretty cool with honus in street clothes.

I own a 14 CJ Wagner and really like that card. I prefer the E103 though and that's my favorite non t206 Wagner. I hope to own one some day.

E300
 

If anyone has a picture of the E300 Plow's Candy Wagner to post, that would be my favorite.

Re: What is your favorite Honus Wagner?
 

It's already been mentioned here, bt here's my favorite:

ErikV

E300 Wagner
 

Found on the web...pretty awesome card.

Brian

Nice cards everyone
 

Wow, there are some beautiful cards in this post! Thanks to everyone for sharing their collection and input!

T5 Batting & E-UNC Blue Caption
 

A couple more to the thread. Always loved the T5 Batting, and the only action pose in a small and mysterious E-UNC Blue Caption set...

+1 :)

I always thought the E94 was a special Honus card.

Erik- I would be disheartened if the e95 wasn't your favorite Wagner.:D great looking card, by the way. My favorite as well, but mine is nowhere near that nice.

Tip Top Bread

Since I cannot afford his Tobacco cards....his Candy and Gum cards are alright with me.
