T206 Wagner & Plank Backs

Darn-just fragged my original post......

I am trying to get the Wagner and Plank backs squared away in my mind. If I am reading the threads and the extant hobby literature correctly, then the Piedmont 150 Wagner's are all hand cut examples (two known, I think not counting the Cobb/Edwards phony but including the Gretzky/McNall and the raw one sold by Mastronet in Novemebr 2001). Is that right? The raw Mastronet Wagner looks diamond cut but I can't tell from the scan I found if it's handcut although the bottom sure looks wavy. I'll keep my tongue firmly in my cheek regarding the Gretzky/McNall card....

Now Plank-his Piedmont 150's should all be factory cut I believe but his Sweet Cap 350 is hand cut? Is there only the one known Sweet Cap 350 Plank (the Sevchuk Plank purportedly on the sheet with the Gretzky Wagner)? If you veteran T206 guys can opine, I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Dave
