Therefore, it is impossible that Wagner was printed on that sheet with those cards.

Furthermore, this 5 card strip.....



......is NOT an authentic production piece. It is simply a strip of "proof" cards which American Lithographic (ALC) put together.
The story goes that ALC did this, gave it to Wagner in order to persuade him to permit them to print his image on T206 cards.

Note....that Brown, Bowerman, Kling and Cy Young cards are missing colors on their uniforms. This certainly tells us that this
strip is not a standard production piece.

I don't understand this reasoning, all of the other 150 only subjects were
pulled prior to the transition to the 350 printing except for Brown (Chicago),
Magie and Wagner. Wagner was pulled quickly so I don't think it's a stretch
to say he was on a sheet with 150/350 subjects and it's
almost certain that he was. You yourself have stated many times that you
think he was on the same sheet as Plank who is a 150/350 subject.

I only stated that he might have been on this sheet based on the Wagner strip. I'm not sure what the odds are but they have to be pretty high
that out of 150+ subjects the three subjects from the strip that have confirmed plate scratches are in the exact same position on this plate scratch sheet as they are on the strip.
