Awesome card...congrats....I think I might have been the underbidder on it in the Mastro a few years ago. Regardless if it is or isn't his rookie (and it very well could be) it's great. With that being said one of the rifs (?) about the card has always been the question of "why Wagner?" and why no other cards exist, even from entire set (that we know of)? Honus wasn't really as great as he was going to be, relative to others at the time. Other players had much better stats when he was on that team. Some believe that Recius could have made this card after his popularity gained with his hitting so they could captialize on his name, not unlike in today's market. regards
