Revisiting the T206 Wagner "strip"

[oaks1912]

Ted & Jim... It was nice discussing this piece with both of you at the National. While we are all at a disadvantage not being able to examine the piece ‘outside of plastic’, there are numerous anomalies when compared to typical T-206 cards. I’ll agree that based on what I’ve seen, this piece is most likely period and most likely pre-production. Beyond that, I'm not going to speculate. Modern collectors may never be able to determine exactly what this piece is, much like the 19th century hall of fame jerseys that were in Barry Halper’s collection.....

Matt- Ted said several other people whom he spoke with at the National agreed that these were separate cards. I don't know who they are or how many he discussed it with, but it appears more than one feel these are separate cards. My opinion from memory is that it was printed on a single strip, but I last saw it in person in 1999.

I recall reading that Wayne Varner of Shoebox Cards owned it & held it before he sold it to Barry Halper. Perhaps, Wayne could help break the tie from that half the people thinks it's one way & half think it's another.

I think modern collectors may never know what those 19th century HOFer Halper jerseys were, but they do know what they're not
