Default reprint wagner piedmonts

Posted By: JimB

"But my buddy does and all my buddies work or have ties with major card publishers. Let create some cards for fun, like a sheet of T206's with a Wagner and a Plank with a Piedmont back so now one will ever confuse it with a real one. "


Few, if any people knew in 1950 that the Wagner was only issued with Sweet Cap backs. In fact, one of the few hobbiests who might have known that sort of thing, Charles Bray, had been offered a copy with a Piedmont back. Collectors were way to spread out and too few people had ever seen a Wagner, much less owned one from which to reprint. I think this scenario is very far-fetched.
