When Justin and I interviewed Keith Olbermann for our podcast, he posited that Wagner may have been a chase card (something held back, or included in very small quantities to get kids to chase and try to find it - like 33 Goudey Lajoie which you had to send away for).

There are original newspaper articles that talk about the cards from 1909, and the one below mentions folks looking for Cobb and Wagner, and finding a few Cobbs. Silent on Wagner.
This newspaper article is absolutely fascinating and endearing. Are there any more like it?
