One of 3 boxes that survived two earthquakes and a mudslide (SoCal). Was in my bedroom closet for the San Fernando quake (1971). In 1974, on my 21st birthday, I moved to San Francisco. Before I left I put the boxes on a basement shelf, wrote my name on them, and told my mother not to move them. (She was there for the second quake and mudslide). And there they stayed until I picked them up about 10 years ago and brought them back to NY, along with herself. No Wagner in there, but plenty of those cards are now in the hands - or have passed through the hands - of many Net54 members...Ts, Es. Topps, Bowman...etc.
