Perhaps the Wagner falls somewhere between a proof and a final product released to the public via cigarette packs. Companies have been known to save samples of products/promos/advertising for their archive. One we all know that comes to mind is Topps and their "Vault" of past relics. Among the proofs and original artwork, they seem to have saved at least one final piece from a good portion of their product lines - many in uncut sheet form.

Fleer was another company that was rumored to have saved one of everything (Dubble Bubble Gum included). Most of it got tossed in dumpsters in the mid-90's, although a bit was salvaged.
