Anyone know the Most Common T206 Wagner Back?

It looks real to me, but I am no expert.

Certainly, the John Cobb / Ray Edwards Honus Wagner T206 Piedmont back was a fake.

Interesting. The most common T206 Backs that PSA has graded are the Piedmonts. https://www.psacard.com/articles/art...poral%20brands.

Intuitively one would think there would be more Wagners also. BTW, there’s factual error in the PSA essay. The “ flagship” brand was not Piedmont but Sweet Caporal. Piedmont was a new brand when the T206s were issued.

My understanding is that there are a few real Piedmont 150 Wagner portraits, but only the SC 150s made it into cigarette packs. But now I can't remember where (or if?) I read that.
