My favorite Wagner cards are these two in my E90-1 set. Especially, the more colorful throwing pose.

I find it quite interesting that the subsequent images of these Wagner cards, which were printed for the T216 sets, are not the same
image quality as the original E90-1 versions.

If anyone on this forum can explain why this is so, please chime in here ?







Hey Guys.....do enjoy the WORLD SERIES, tonite...... GO - GO PHILLIES ! !

Speaking about Honus Wagner, here's an interesting anecdote regarding him.

"When I was a boy growing up in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing
and as we sat there on the warmth of a summer afternoon we talked about
what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him I wanted to be a major
league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend
said that he'd like to be president of the United States.
Neither of us got our wish."

Dwight D. Eisenhower
