When Cobb & Wagner Met

Nice picture. Honus had a good auto.

Looks like Ty offered him a girly shake in return.

Cool OP. Thanks for posting!

At :08 seconds in, there's some video of their meeting.

The novelty cutlery and the pc796 commemorating the event. Love that Wags auto Tom!

Here is a rarely seen postcard of the same meeting, published by the Boeres Company. It’s not mine, wish it was!

Jesus, that’s awesome. Even google hasn’t heard of that thing. I googled it: the first two results are Pc796 Cobb/Wagner completed auctions and the third is this thread!

Whoa Kris.

WOW... Awesome! Thanks for sharing that!

It was auctioned by Mastro in 1997 as part of the Don Steinbach collection. Only one I’ve ever seen.

Orlando, I forgot to say: GREAT postcards!

I'll forever be tortured knowing that Cobb/Wagner postcard is out there and not in my collection. Thanks Kris.

Sorry Jeff. You have to have goals in life, right? Here is a better scan from the catalog, along with the description.

1909 sportswriter...........
 

"......examine the bludgeon with which the Smoky City demon is wont to massacre defenceless (sic) slabmen." Sportswriter's prose has changed quite a bit in 109 years, huh?

That is cool.
