Poll: T206 Wagner Strip
 

So what is it -- one continuous strip or cards pasted/glued together? Or both? Or neither!?!

I'm sticking with the opinion of the two prior owners who logged on here and said: "I can tell you from holding the strip many times, it is not cards pasted together."

I have looked at it an think its a pieced together item. JMO

key scholars are on both sides of the debate thus far.

It's like that Star Trek episode quote. Capt. Kirk says, "What is it Spock?" Spock says, "It is both and it is neither"
:D:D:D:D:D

I picked 5 cards glued together.

From the front 5 different cards, from the back a single strip.

IMO continuous strip........no paste job.

It is none of those... I voted for the "5 cards", but it isn't that. It isn't cards at all. It is separate papers, printed on the papers are the images that would eventually be the fronts of certain white border tobacco cards, the papers are pieced together as seen. It isn't a card, nor 5 cards, and it isn't even a printer's proof. It seems a spec sample of what was planned, a demonstration of what could be. I don't really see why or how that should have been slabbed, but then I don't see the reason in collectors slabbing their cards.

I was at the National and saw the strip but probably spent no more than 30 seconds looking at it. I wish I had now spent some time examining it.
