Default Sporting Life advertising of t206s and m116s - new info

Posted By: David

I don't want to nitpick-- there's no doubt that the Piedmond Wagner is a pile of scrap, but I don't think it's conclusive that the upside down image is of Wagner. In fact the MastroNet representative (that's secret spy code for Doug Allen) I had talked to before writing the brief article said the upside down image was of someone else.

And, dear readers, I point out that it was Scott Forrest, of runscott fame, who pointed out to me the 'smudge' in the picture that turned out to be the upside down overprint. I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed it if weren't for Scott.

Lastly, I am ignorant about many of the subtle variations in the T206 issue, in particular the back variations, and The Residents (pun intended) at t206museum, along with other collectors, have been helpful and repsonsive to my questions about the cards.
