According to the Mastro description, it came from an original find of 500 T206s, though this was the only one with an irregular cut. Two points:

1. This could lend credence to Scott's theory - a collector with 500 T206s wanted to fill a hole in his set and was in on the reprint idea.

2. If this were so, why is this Wagner in such bad shape? One would think that somebody who bothered to make such a good reprint would have used a little care in cutting the sheet. And how did it get so soiled? If it went directly into an advanced T206 collection, how did it get so banged up. One would presume it would look more like the Gretzky Wagner.
