Second Best Honus Wagner Portrait Card

[brunswickreeves]

All are amazing and could be 1st pick for different reasons. Like my steak, I would select the W-UNC since I love what’s rare. It has fewer than 10 total graded copies and has the same orientation as the original photo. Some don’t prefer strip or hand cut cards, but that’s a way they were made in the teens (and twenties), so a legit part of baseball card history.

I would choose the W600 because of its awesome size and beauty, though it’s really close because the tip top are such cool cards and i love the size and image on those. (I own neither). Cant go wrong between those two.

I like the blue, the pastel, and the E103 equally, and lament not buying an E103.

The W600 may not be the popular pick but I love the look and it is an early Wagner and I like the uniform version although most of us would be glad to have either

I like his W600 best. I think it has the most accurate image of Hans when compared to the others.

My votes as follows:

1) Tip Top bread- reminds me of the t206. Unbelievably cool card
2) M116 Sporting Life- the pastel is so clean
3) E90-2 - love the blue

My vote is for his E90-2 American Caramel.

His head looks too small compared to the rest of his body on his D322.

I agree with Tony because the W600 has a photo image, which makes it the most accurate image of Wags.

As does the E254 Colgan's, though it is only neck and noggin. And it, unlike any of the others, has that round like the wheels on a car shape.

Just think if Colgan's, instead of being the gum that is round, was instead a larger rectangular slab of gum, perhaps the approximate size of a standard T206 card, its minty flavored corners prone to cutting tongues. Then the gum container would have been the size and shape that collectors crave, and the Colgan's Chips baseball card inserts would be this same craveable size, and the popularity of Colgan's Chips would be at a very high level, due to the set including a much larger photo of Honus as seen on his T206 card.

I prefer all 3 of these over any of the Wagner portrait “second place” cards. Though they are not “cards” they are: 1) more rare than any of the listed cards, 2) Horner image and looking left, 3) far more picturesque, 4) background game in progress, not available on any of the others listed.

If I had to choose an actual card, I’d go with the W-Unc
