Jeremy, a couple of times you have cited the SCD edition and page number as the basis of your interpretation of the card's rarity. The problem is that anyone who knows a lot about M101-5 would look at that page and say immediately that it was a mess-- especially the fact that there are only a few dozen names in the Standard Biscuit checklist.

In other words, SCD here is a bad authority.

Almost all other hobby guides would say something like this for 1916 Standard Biscuit: "See 1915 [or 1916] Sporting News for checklist." (This example comes from an earlier edition of SCD.) This, and not the more recent SCD with the badly incomplete checklist, reflects the hobby consensus about this set. And under this interpretation, the Wagner would be "Checklisted" and "Catalogued" -- although still rare.

Cheers,
Tim
