B79 equates to birthdate
I have always thought the Wiggs T212 was a classic card as well.
According to The Baseball Reference, Big Jim Wiggs was born on "September 1, 1876 in Trondhjem, Norway." My guess is that B79 was meant to be a notation for date of birth, although there seems to be a 3 year difference from the data on The Baseball Reference page.
