You’re sure you’re not referring to Heinie Wagner in the t206 set? He has a batting pose.

They're saying that the most likely explanation is that someone wanted a Honus Wagner T206 for their set, knowing even at the time that they were crazy short-printed, and then made it themself using a Honus card with a T206 back.

There are 1910 era articles talking about how rare the Honus card was, and that little kids were clamoring for them.

No. I just need to find the reference in one of the older hobby books. Definitely Honus.
