I agree Steve. Hence (among several other reasons set forth in my as of yet unanswered queries) my view that Wags was on the original 150 series checklist, not an "add-on" as theorized by T206 Resource.
But hey, these are all just theories and it's perfectly acceptable for rational people to use some introspection and give credit where due, admitting error where appropriate.
Edited to add: By the way, this is perhaps OT, but i want to give T206 Resource credit for discovering, without much fanfare as far as I can tell, that Schaefer (Detroit) and Spencer are (at least probable) Sweet Cap 350 and Sovereign 350 no-prints--and thus are (at least likely) part of what was once called the "elite eight" 150/350 subjects who are not possible with either of those backs but has over time grown to a larger group. Good job on that one--probably worthy of a short article.
