6/9 - Today in History - Honus Wagner show 'em

Craig and Bob,

The Hermes pin is great and that Wagner poster is my favorite piece in this thread. Out of curiosity, how do you know there were only 3 made?

I made them. Had them made I should say. The Pictures were the top 3/4's of an old cardstock bank advertisement piece. The lower part had the entire National League schedule for 1912 (or 1913, I forget). I still have it somewhere, I'll have to dig through some stuff. The original is a very rare piece. I've only seen 2 or 3 copies..ever. My original had the St. Louis portion of the sked clipped and was used as the backing for an old picture, only to be freed 90 years later. This picture you see here was cleaned up via photoshop and enlarged to it's current size 24"x28".
