[sb1]

Cool cards! I meant to bid on the Wagner but looked away for a minute and looked back about 30 seconds after it ended. Doh.

I would be curious to know who the seller was or the original owner.

The reason I ask is that I believe whoever had these(at least owned them 30+/- years ago was the person that might have gotten them included as part of the set, a fact that I had Bob Lemke remove from the SCD guide circa 2006 or so, when I first discovered other wrong backs.

I have had mine for about 20 years...can't recall who I bought it from on ebay.

Mine came from a Greg Morris eBay auction about two weeks ago. He auctioned off about 170 raw T207s over a few days. I assume he was breaking up a large partial set, although there were a couple dupes, so a couple may have come from other consignors. All but six were Recruits. There were two Anon 25s, one Broadleaf, one Napoleon, and the two wrong-backs. He did not mention the rare backs anywhere in the listing title or description, except for one of the Anon 25s.

Good to know, I suspect it was someone's older collection that might been the impetus behind the Carrigan/Wagner wrong backs, we shall never know. And it really does not make much difference, the cards are what they are.
