That’s a lovely example. Yes, of course I would have never found an Adams T206.

As crazy as it might seem today, I would suspect that at the time of issue the Adams card would have been the most popular card in the E90-2 set.
A fun clipping below says Wagner was supposedly "peeved" that Babe Adams was essentially stealing the thunder for the 1909 championship.
