Usually I stay out of these threads, and just enjoy the banter. But this is perhaps one of the most severe cases of "wishful thinking" ever to hit the Forum.
Just the nose differences alone close this case. You simply cannot "will it" to be Wagner, and ignore the facts. Last edited by perezfan; 09-02-2013 at 10:54 PM.

Just remember, some of us enjoy the banter. Not something that I bought...just flipping through a box of old tip types / cabinet cards and saw it.
Some of us still enjoy the hunt and getting our hands dirty in search of baseball's finest treasures. While the Internet is fun, you cannot buy what has yet to found on it. I've got plenty of graded and authenticated stuff. It is what hasn't been seen that keeps me interested. Cheers. E

John,
That shot of Wagner with the three other boys is ridiculous. At ten, he looked twenty. Love. Graig

Wagner as a kid
The photo of Honus with the other kids is part of a larger school photo, showing about 30 children total. It could have been taken outside the First Ward Public School in Carnegie, though I'm not certain. In the full version of the photo, Honus' brother Al is standing behind him and to the viewer's right. . . . I was lucky enough a few years ago to purchase an original copy of this photo, which I'm 99 percent sure was Wagner's. The image appeared in a month-long biographical series on Wagner that ran in a Pittsburgh newspaper a couple of years after he retired. The series included numerous photos that could only have come from the Wagner family. Faint crop marks on the original photo match up with the image published in the paper, so I'm reasonably sure my copy was once Honus'. It's among my favorite Honus pieces.
