Rare Honus Wagner cards

[Casey2296]

1910 E98. Technically over 50 if you add all 4 colors together but broken out there are less than 50 graded of each color between the two companies, there are some that aren't labeled with a color so there may be more than 50 reds but not by much.

Here are 2 Rare Wagner with less then 10 of each I believe or fewer if you count Postcards that is

1908 Rose Co PC
1908 American League Publishing Company PC

IMO, only the most common Wagners would not fit the pop of less than 50. The T206 is actually quite plentiful compared to most Wagners. For truly rare Wagners I would say it should be 10 or less. This is one of my favorites.

We are not worthy. Still looking for either but would prefer the throwing. What a group of Wags. Well done.

That Pittsburg Leader card is gorgeous. I believe their schedule is on the back if I remember correctly?

Not many of these around. One of the earlier versions, preceeded only by '02 and '03......

Phil - Your W601 Sporting Life Composite is from the 1904 series. AFAIK, there is only one older series - the 1903. I do not think that there were any issued in 1902.

Yours pictures the 1903 Pirates pennant winning team, which was referred to as the "Champions for 1904.". This was a common title at the time, but can now be confusing. The Giants won the NL pennant in 1904 and were referred to as the "Champions for 1905" at the time.

Here is the Pittsburg composite from 1903 from an image that I stole from the internet. Again, it pictures members of the 1902 pennant winning team.

And just to add to the confusion, here is the Pirate composite from the 1905 set. It pictures players from the 1904 team and since they did not win the pennant, the title only identifies them as being from 1904, but it was definitely issued in 1905. I have also attached the cover of the portfolio.

confusing but very nice pieces

Here is the 1905 Champions Medal given to John McGraw for the Giants of 1904. From the Halper auction.
