leonScott E, when I said "different back" on the Bray- Wagner I didn't mean it didn't look real. It was just a tad bit lighter from what I remember. The owner verifies the wet sheet overprint of another player from another sheet as previously mentioned. I believe he has matched it up to another common in the set too. It still looks 100 years old to SGC, myself, and almost everyone else. I am sticking with that until someone proves it wrong. The fact SGC graded the Bray Wagner as Authentic, to me, outweighs the fact that you have never heard of anyone with provenance for these 2-3 cards before the 1950's. That, in and of itself, isn't convincing enough. The fact they are handcut isn't either, at least for me. I will restate my thoughts on these Piedmont Wagners, as well as many leading experts....handcut from a sheet in the 1909 era.....Obviously you, and a few others, will believe what you want to...and we can agree to disagree....no harm in that....take care
