Default (Honus Wagner) CIGAR BOX

Posted By: Jay Miller

Also, on a 1920s cigar box we still have Wagner in his Louisville uniform--why not change it to Pittsburgh if you are trying to capitalize on a name player?

Hal--You have made arguements as to why the trade card could be pre-1900 but you have never made the arguement as to why it MUST be pre-1900. I would think a buyer of this trade card would require that. Why not have someone check the newspapers in the main Louisville library. I'm sure some of the ads in the paper had phone numbers. See when five digit numbers started. That may help you further narrow down the date of the trade card.
