Great post Bill and others. Certainly one of the highlights from Collection 1 is shown here. I think the Ferguson/Fleischmann assoctiation is fascinating. The backstory on this Wagner is that David Bry,an had it on ebay around 10-12 yrs ago (I guess). I saw it go up almost immediately. I emailed him to see if he would do a Buy It Now for a certain price, I offered 3500 for it. He said he couldn't do it as it was an auction and I respected that.
I ended up winning it for 3550. It was one of my favorite cards in the collection just sold . . And this type 1 photo went to a good hobby friend so that was good too. Thanks again for sharing, Bill. They are superb portraits (can't remember if there are full poses or not) on super rare cards. I wouldn't doubt if one lands back in my collection, tab only please.
