JeremyWhat an intriguing debate here...
I do appreciate both sides and I certainly don't need SCD to claim this card as uncatalogued.
I think the real question is when the dust settles and somewhere down the road, all of these cards (99%) are accounted for, the backs will become individulized. To lump them into a mass M101-4/5 designation to me was done as a matter of convenience and certainly does not tell the whole story.
Could this card be the only Wagner with a Standard Biscuit Back ? I actually see parallels with the Holmes to Holmes if no one else can substantiate that another Wagner Standard Biscuit does exist.
What makes 1 of 1 examples of Holmes to Holmes any more rare than 1 of 1 Standard Biscuit Wagner ? The question becomes proving or disproving whether there is another example out there of a Wagner with this back. So far we have a decent start.... PSA, SGC, GAI, SCD, and VCP all confirm this as the only card. Underneath the M101-4/5 designation, hopefully someone can substantiate another one of these exist. (It would surprise me if there are not at least a few more exampels)
Why would I dismiss this as being just one of the other Wagners with a rare back ?
Is there anywhere or anyone else we could go to to help uncover this situation ? Leon ? Papa Bear ??
