Some of the mysteries and myths surrounding the most famous card in the hobby.

As regards T cards, it is my understanding that some years ago a complete uncut T204 set surfaced, which was subsequently cut down into its individual cards. As I recall, over the years some of these cards appeared on the market.

Are all the known PD150 Planks sheet cut?

Most famous card. This has nothing to do with the 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken card.

Haven't there been pics of the horizontal strip the Wagner was cut from shown before?

There is a strip of T206 - the strip that was found in Wagner's house (perhaps in the pocket of old uniform pants). It sold in Hunt in 2010:

I think the Wajo is for sale in the next Mile High Auction (not mine)

I believe the T204 sheet was destroyed by Frank Nagy in the late 80's or 90's, and thus I did not include. I don't think there is a photograph of it to show the layout that we might learn anything from. I'm also not sure if the T204's were printed by the same group of partners that did the partnership promotion with the ATC; if they are really part of the 1909-1912 card promotion generally credited in the hobby to the American Lithographic Co. and the American Tobacco Co. (though it definitely included other printing companies that may or may not have been shadow subsidiaries, and probably a small number of non-ATC products).

T419 is several years before this project and not part of it, though a series of proof sheets sounds no less awesome for that fact.

Maybe cut up, but Not destroyed. As I said, this is in the upcoming Mile High Auction (which looks like an amazing auction BTW).

That right edge is bothersome, dollars to donuts, I think I'd rather have yours.

I don't know how that grades a 9 without addressing the sheet cut.

I thought someone years ago listed a lot of these that had been graded by SGC but noted they were trimmed or sheet cut. REA maybe?

In the context of uncut material, it was destroyed; cut up into individual components of cards. The uncut sheet does not exist. As far as I can tell no photograph of it before it ceased to exist was taken to preserve the layout.
