Not sure, but sounds a little familiar.

One other thought….

What time frame would you want to go back to to maximize your access?

June of 1909 to find a Wagner and Plank before they disappeared?

I don't know if you'd need to buy cigarettes to get the cards. A lot of people probably tossed them when they opened the packs. I wish I could remember the name of the short story but it was written in the time period and there was a scene where the narrator passed groups of kids bugging people buying smokes for the cards.

I'd like to drop in on Cy Berger just before he dumped the cases of 1952 Topps. I could get them free.

While Wagner was only available for a very short period in my opinion he wasn't included in the initial printing of the T206's and it would have to be later than June 1909 but that's just my opinion based off some T206 research.

Random info: the "B" signature on the drawings in the article belongs to the cartoonist Alfred Brewerton (1881-1960). He worked for the Journal during this period.
