9 T206 Wagners at one booth

[GasHouseGang]

Seeing them all together like that makes you feel like it's really not that rare. Of course, we know better! Here are 40 of them. I suppose if you don't have anything else to do you could try to figure out which ones at the convention are shown in this composite photo.

There looks to be a lot with missing ink. Love the printers marks on the one.

The one with the printers marks is from the "wagner strip"

My guess is that the "missing ink" examples are simply scans of old auction catalogs that simply didn't print in color...

So at least 9 Wagner’s are altered?

That's a cool picture Pat.

Here is an article from 2002 that shows a collection of known Wagners at that time.

Edited to say this a collection of known Wagner T206's. There were probably more known at the time, just not pictured.

I have one of the posters, and had it framed (the poster visible in the background of the Mastro’s display of Wagner’s).

(None of those are missing color, to my knowledge...just some old images).

That is a funny Mastro comment! I would bet it is more than 9 that have had something done to them to improve their appearance.

This is cool.

Here's a poll for you...which would you rather have, the sillouette (second row down, 3rd from the left) or the one missing 1/3, middle bottom row?

I would rather have the silhouette card. Not sure but hasn't that card been rebuilt to a full card? I remember one that was missing a lot of the card got rebuilt to a full card.

Silhouette for me too. Didn't someone here have a WaJo silhouette like that as his avatar? I wonder if those two cards used to belong to the same collector.

[GasHouseGang]

I'd pick the silhouette for sure. That other one looks like about half of a card. I like the one on the bottom cut at a slant. I guess someone did that to it on purpose, but I can't image why.

I'm having palps!

It's probably a higher percentage of card than the sillouette

You're probably right. However, assuming I was just going to leave it the way it is, I'd like to be able to see all of Wagner's face.

I have a silhouette wajo. Always thought that'd be cool if it came from the same collection as the Wagner.

This link shows the sales history of all the Wagners. They've done their best to number them to see how the prices have changed over the years.

There's also a somewhat updated gallery.

Great post and pictures for those of us not attending the National at that time. Thank you for sharing. Count me as wanting the half card over the silouette.
