Default Help with photo identification - Honus Wagner ?

Posted By: Jeff S.

Found this in the REA 2007 auction - lot #915. Apparently a photo of Wagner at age 10 in 1884 (reprinted in 1923). Wags is quite obvious - if the other boys are his brothers, that may discredit the "photo of Hans' brother" theory.

Also, regarding the supposed sale of the photos at the Wagner Estate in the 1980's. That 5-card T206 proof strip with Wagner on it apparently came from that house, found in one of Hans' sweater pockets. If that was an 80's discovery as well, that may give a bit of credence to the consignor's story.
