... Accordingly, depending on the length of a sheet, there would be many other high quality Piedmont Wagners and Planks (also with hand cut borders), none of which have surfaced in 25 years. No one in there right mind would say "let's take just two and throw the rest away."

Wow. I think this is a great great question and am not sure why it is not generating some speculation. I've never even thought about it.
Suppose the sheet was 5x5. Where are the other 4 Wagners and the other 4 Planks? Is it possible someone is sitting on them all these years? Is it possible they did get thrown away, not only to protect the 1/1 scarcity of the high condition of the Wagner/Plank but also maybe to conceal the fact that these were cut from a sheet? Or is it more likely that the early sheets did not include any individual player more than once?
I'm thinking the last is more likely - that each player only appeared once - even though miscuts suggest otherwise. Maybe they changed the process at some point. Would have been nice if the original sheet had been left intact for at least educational purposes.
