[parkerj33]

Ted, i am asking really, why do you think these 12 were the very first ones printed? What is the evidence to draw that conclusion?

Jim

The evidence is only five T206 brands printed on the backs of the 150-only Series cards that distinguishes them from the 150/350 Series cards,
which were printed with an assortment of PIEDMONT, SOVEREIGN, SWEET CAPORAL backs, and EL PRINCIPE de GALES, HINDU, OLD MILL backs.
Of course....Plank and Wagner were only printed with PIEDMONT and SWEET CAPORAL.

I found two more blue Wagners stashed away in my archived stack of T206's. These two increase my total up to 14 blue Wagner's.

I started this thread's title.... "Can't afford the orange Wagner".... it occasionally reminds me of when I first got back into this hobby in the late 1970's.
Back then, I could afford to buy a half a dozen Orange Wagner's. I had a great salary working as a Senior Electronics Engineer at Bell Laboratories in NJ.

I found one more blue Wagner hiding in my archived stack of graded T206's. This one increases my total of blue Wagner's to 12 with different Tobacco advertisements.

Last nite, I received an email from a Net54 reader (I dislike the term "lurker" ). He wanted to know what the going price of a T206 Hans Wagner was back in those days.

I got back into this great hobby in 1977 (thanks to my teenage Daughters....Debbie and Zoe). Circa 1977, a Vg-Ex Wagner was selling in the ballpark of 4K - 6K.

One more blue Wagner....lucky # 13 in my Wagner collection.. This one is from my all - SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #30 set.

During Wagner's 12-year career, 1912 was his best year at bat. And throughout his career, he was an outstanding Shortstop with a strong and very accurate throwing arm,
which enabled Boston to beat the NY Giants in the 1912 World Series.
