Also like all the Wagner PCs shown before.

This has probably been covered before, but there was always the notion that the t206 was pulled due to Wagner's stance on tobacco use. Do we know the official reason yet? Regardless, you'll note that he is noticeably absent from almost all tobacco issues from that era, despite his immense popularity and the inclusion of his teammates in the sets (t205, Helmar Stamps, etc). Hope someone can shed some light on this (or share an old link if it's been covered before).
No way to know for sure.

Wagner does appear in the T216 Tobacco issues out of New Orleans, but who knows if Wagner even had knowledge of this. Whether or not his stance on tobacco use is what pulled his T206 from production is still a subject of debate, and there is no definitive answer.

I am pretty sure the T216 is the only tobacco issue he appears in but could be wrong. Anybody?

Here's the T216
