That is how I got mine
My Great Grandfather was head janitor of the Morgan Guarantee Trust Company in New York City. At the end of the day he had his staff empty the waste baskets by the employees desks and bring him the cards.
He gave them to my Grandfather who gave them to me in the late 1960's. There were a lot of them. Only 198 survived. That's the provenance of the Doc Crandall Uzit, which I still have. Doug

I really don't know why I'm doing this, given the silence I've received on my NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.
Go to: The Sport Americana Baseball Card Price Guide Number 4 (1982) You will find on pages 416-418 a marvelous article with photos: "THE OTHER JOHN WAGNER" Interview and Article by Christopher Benjamin The first paragraph contains a Jim Dandy anecdote that NONE of you T-206 collectors will ever forget. --Brian Powell
