Those are very interesting observations. The Lelands link above has a very detailed scan of the strip so everyone can go on there to see if they see the same things Ted and Frank see.

I cannot tell from the scan whether Wagner has gloss while the other four players on the strip do not have gloss.

Particularlly interesting is the observation thatthe other four cards are not full color while the Wagner appears to be. Until Frank pointed it out, I have never noticed that Bowerman and Brown have buttons that are missing colors that are there on the regular card.

Can we really compare this card to the fake Goudey Ruth calendar that was the topic of discussion here a few weeks ago? That card appeared to be a modern day creation. Is Ted and Frank saying that the strip is as well and no part of the strip is real? Or are they saying that real cards were pasted onto a blank blank and cross hatches and brown toning were added afterwards?
