Opening up a whole different can of worms here
Sorry if hijacking the thread, but I’m curious about Wagner’s with a Piedmont back. I have it on good authority that the gentle who stamped all his cards that I collect had a Wagner. With a Piedmont back. I’ve heard from two people who saw it as late as 1975, but it hasn’t been seen since, as far as I can tell.
So I know any Wagner is rare and valuable. And that only three or four examples are known to have the Piedmont back. But I’ve never actually seen a front/back scan combo of Wagner/Piedmont. And I’m guessing that unless someone wanted to spend the money to remove the stamp from the back of the card (and it would cover most of it), it should still exist. Maybe just tucked away in a very private collection since the late 70s.
But if anyone knows somebody who knows somebody who has a Piedmont Wagner, I’d really appreciate hearing from them. Seems like there should be some sort of secret society of Wagner owners that would meet at Lou Malnati’s under the elevated train tracks in Chicago once a year and compare stories and offers.
If I ever get one, I’ll start that. 😄😉
