I believe the old time collectors new about them and there was no need to announce to the world about these reprints. The tight little circle of collectors was the world. everyone else just had them in their attic. They knew all the hardcore collectors. Who were they going to announce it to? Better yet, why make anything public about a Wagner? You think they wanted non collectors to know their secrets of the hobby, that the Wagner was valuable?
I suppose Larry Fritch shoulda told everyone why he was paying so much for Doyles in the 70's?
This was common knowledge that no one bothered to write about it. Just like the printing of Goudeys or T206's in 1909 for that matter. Who woulda known that a group of collectors would care about all that stuff as much as we do. Why didn't the printers of Tango Eggs keep records? Who cared at the time.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.
