Correct. You win the scissors.

What "provenance" suggests the Wagner 8 is hand cut aside from the Piedmont back?

I think the fact that there are images out there of the wagner before it was cut to it's current size and shape is all of the proof that is needed.

Pete, as I recall the before photos were pretty grainy and inconclusive, but in any event they at best would prove that the card was trimmed, right? They wouldn't speak to whether the original was an oversize card from a pack, or one from a sheet. Let me ask it a different way, how do we know that the Conlon Plank is from the same sheet as the Gretzky Wagner, I have heard that mentioned a couple of times now but don't know the background.

I believe the Gretzky wagner...and the current p 150 plank were from the same sheet originally.

We know this from statements by those involved. This is no longer a secret. There is a lot of good information about this subject in 'The Card'.

I'm also curious about this.
