It looks gorgeous in that before picture. I've never seen that!
This year, the equivalent Eddie Plank was auctioned. I believe it was Conlon's card.
People knew this card existed for a long time. I think the two cards were discovered together, right? Funny thing is, Charlie never had the card graded. When REA sent the card to PSA it came back slabbed "authentic".
I don't think these cards came from a strip...
Can you imagine a strip with both the Wagner and the Plank on it? I am going to assume there was no such thing. I do find it odd that the rest of the sheet never surfaced or was referenced. The only other card that matches the history of the PSA 8 Wagner is a Plank card...
If there was another near mint example floating around out there then I don't think this copy would get so much attention.
