perhaps a little insight into the T206 Wagner genesis

Posted By: warshawlaw

I was reading through Harry Grayson's classic "They Played The Game" (a 1944 collection of player profiles) and came across the following:

John Gruber, late official scorer in Pittsburgh, was offered $10 for a picture of Wagner that could be put in cigarette packages. Gruber wrote Wagner, received this reply: "Dear John: I don't want my picture in cigarettes, but I don't want you to lose $10, so I'm enclosing check for that sum." Gruber framed the check.
