1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner vs. 1911-16 Kotton Honus Wagner: Who Has More?

[Orioles1954]

Hello everyone,

Since practically every thread on the pre-war board is T206 related, I thought I would chime in. While at the National I was having a chat with a dealer about the T206 Wagner. Somewhere along the line I said something like "Heck, the T206 Wagner is not even his toughest tobacco card!" The dealer looked at me like I head three heads and immediately told me I was wrong....to which I believe I am not. According to the combined pop reports (if I'm reading this correctly) of PSA and SGC, there are a total of (35) 1909-11 T206 Wagner cards graded. According to those same population reports, there are a total of (16) 1911-1916 T216 Kotton/Mino/Virginia Extra of both poses combined. I'm not sure if this means anything to y'all at all, but would be interested in your input. Proportional to other T206 cards (which you could find at the bottom of the Marianas Trench), the Sweet Cap/Piedmont Wagner is obviously tougher. However, according to raw numbers in existense, I'm not so sure. Personally, I find the T216 to be much more interesting to me and at 10% the price.
