Just like I have argued for years about the Piedmont 150 Wagners being printed at a later date. Also, Mr. Bill Heitman even came on this website and told about Goudey and Bowman printers printing cards like the Plank and Wagner with "different" backs. OR, backs they were NOT found with! I also remember seeing a 1933 Goudey - the same number as Lajoie, with another player on the front in a Mastro auction a few years ago (I will have to look for that catalog when I get time). Anyway, I feel that was printed later on as well - probably by one of the Goudey or Bowman guys to "fill the Lajoie hole" in their 1933 Goudey set.

Again, I know people have doubted what I have said about the Piedmont Wagners NOT being period for years. However, I will state this with confidence - NOBODY ON THIS BOARD HAS HANDLED MORE RAW T206'S AND DONE MORE RESEARCH ON THE SET THAN MR. HEITMAN - NOBODY! If you still want more proof, just get an enlarged scan of the PSA 8 Wagner and compare it to some nice 1's or 2's of Wagner with a Sweet Caporal Fact. 25 back - compare the fronts. THEY ARE DIFFERENT - I HAVE DONE THIS - I KNOW (I even remember speaking with Brian Weisner about the differences of the fronts a few years back)!
