Agree with Quan that e103 is probably close to equal

Juju is tougher

Both W600s are tougher

Updated with new category classifications
 
Thanks Peter, Richard and Quan for the input...I have added both W600's and the Ju-Ju's to the tougher list. And is JKA the issue that contains some cards that are die-cut? If so they definitely belong on the tougher list. I have come up with new designations for the categories, with a new category...see if you think it changes things amongst the various issues:

Definitely more Common:

1913 Barker Game
1909/11 Colgans E254
1915 Cracker Jack

1909 E92 Dockman batting and fielding
1910 E93

1906 Fan Craze NL
1910/11 M116 blue
1910/11 M116 pastel

Around the same as the T206 Wagner:

E90-2
E94
E102 batting
M101-4 Sporting News and blank backs


Probably less the the T206 Wagner:

Updated and Mission Statement
 
I sorted out a few of the issues to put into the 'Probably less than the T206 Wagner' category after retitling the 'Less Than' category as 'Definitely less than'.

This was a fun little exercise...let me know if you have any additional comments about these groupings. I started this thread just to emphasize to our members how important 'demand' is in the value of a card. The demand for the Wagner pretty much tops the charts, and when you throw in all the factors that have made this card irrestible to collectors and investors over the years, it just blows away all his other cards, even the various Wagner cards that are much less common, like those in our 'Definitely less than' category. Thanks to all that made this thread so fun for me.

I'm way late to the party here, but I believe the 1915 E106 (both batting and throwing) are more rare than the T206

brianp-beme 10-12-2016 12:56 AM

My thread forgetting mind definitely remembers this fun one from 4 years ago. I'm surprised we didn't think to add the E106 to the list. I believe that both poses are just uncommon enough to be put in the definitely less common grouping. Thanks Dan for bringing this thread back from the dead (just in time for Halloween).

I concur. Great thread from a few years back with some fond memories.. I also agree, from what I have seen, I feel there are probably fewer E106 Wagners of either specific pose but maybe not in total than the king of Wagners.

Also all the non-Dockman should be separated out, as I believe like you they would all be less common than the T206 Wagner. I agree with you (I was on the fence) about the E135 and E101being less common, and I think you are probably correct about the E90-2 being more common, but unless others chime in I will leave the E94 in its current group, as well as the M101-4 and M101-5 (especially if all the backs are lumped together), and the Fan Craze.

I recently sold at auction a E92 Wags batting Nadja back PSA 3; it was the only graded copy listed in all pop reports. Interestingly, there were several throwing poses that had been graded. Got to be rarer than the T206.

terjung 10-15-2016 12:35 PM

A number of these Wagner cards (rarer than the T206) are currently up for auction in the current BST Auctions Fall Premier catalog.

For starters, there's Standard Biscuit, JuJu Drum, Collins McCarthy, W600, JK&A, Green Joyce, etc... (plug, plug)

esd10 10-15-2016 01:41 PM

E125 American caramel is pretty rare

RCMcKenzie 10-15-2016 04:37 PM

T206 vs e92 Dockman and Colgan's Chips
 
I believe I read on t206resource that there are an estimated 60-100 t206 Wagners.
From the SGC and PSA pop reports: there are about 80 e254 Wagners and 80 e92 Dockman Wagner batting. Of course, there are a number that are ungraded from these two issues.

puckpaul 05-11-2017 10:24 PM

M101-1 Sporting News is rarer and the National Copper Plate even rarer than that, perhaps ten or so of the first and maybe just five or so NCP? NCP is the real rookie appearance (1898). one of my favorite cards!

Don't forget yo mama
 
Don't forget the d303 Mother's Bread. Much much scarcer than t206

familytoad 05-12-2017 12:49 AM

Your holdings
 
....so what do you guys have?

This is a fun list to read, now let's have a little fun inventorying.

I have :
E95 Philadelphia Caramel Wagner
E98 (light blue) Wagner
E105 Mello Mint (batting) Wagner

Who else wants to share?

Looking to sell one or the other in order to pick up a '52 Mantle if anyone is interested ;)

And D303 General, both poses.

ETA total pop on General Baking is 4 of each pose. I don't see any graded Mother's Bread. Has anyone ever seen one?

I suppose D355 is theoretical also.

ETA again: I see some prior D303-2 Wagner auctions, so the pop reports must not do a very good job of distinguishing between them. Stop probably 4 of each pose total between D303-1 and -2.

A Mother's Bread Wagner (batting) just sold in REA less than 2 weeks ago

I liked this article on the NCP issues:

puckpaul 05-12-2017 05:14 PM

The descriptions on the back make the copper plates so great. Is there another issue where you get rookie cards or unique cards, and substantial descriptions on the back of what the players and times were like? Amazing issues.

brianp-beme 05-12-2017 06:59 PM

Nice valid observations on some missing cards...I will update the list in a few days when I have the opportunity to cut/paste.

Since I started this thread, I should at least partially participate in this as well. I have a couple of cards in the More Common than category, which we all know are practically worthless since they are more readily available than the T206 Wagner, and thus not worthy of listing here.

I do have one in the Definitely Less Common than the Wagner T206 category...an Orange Border 'Portrait', and the thing, even in low condition, is very cool.
