The T206 Wagner is the King of all Cards. It contains the Horner Portrait Photo of Wagner in his baseball uniform.
There are 10 different Horner Wagner-Uniform portrait cards, listed and pictured below.
T206
W600 Types III & IV
D322 Tip Top
E90-2
E104-2
E103
M116 Blue
M116 Pastel
Colgan's
WUNC (not mine)
If you could only have one of these cards for your collection, which would you choose and why?
Personally, I choose the D322 Tip Top because (i) its a an almost exact resemblance to the T206, especially with "Pittsburgh" on the chest, (ii) his/its portrait is facing left like the T206, (iii) its orange background reminds me of the T206, and (iv) its very rare with less than 70 graded.
As an aside, there are 3 other Wagner "portrait cards": The W600 Type I & II, the E107, and the 1914 Cracker Jack. But I did not include these because I wanted to keep the discussion to the proxies for the T206.
