Mystery Of The T206 Honus Wagner Uncut Proof Strip

[Archive]

Posted By: David

Hello Fellow Collectors & Investigators!
I am starting a thread about the T206 Honus Wagner/Cy Young uncut proof strip in order to gather any information in regards to it's history and reprint status in order to help verify a piece that I have. There is only one known copy of the strip in existence, and I have read the articles in regards to it's journey straight from the Wagner estate. However, I am wondering how there may be reprints out there if none of the past 28 year's owners made any? Also, I was wondering if anyone one knows of some additional ways I can authenticate the piece myself so I can have a solid idea before I bring it to one of the big three authenticating houses? I am in the progress of getting a 100x microscope in order to do some further testing, and that should help shed some light on the subject.
All ideas and theories welcomed, and thanks for your time and interest. The journey has been fun thus far, let's keep it going!

Sincerely, David (Delicate Dust)
