Proof strip

In the famous T206 Wagner proof strip, Bowerman looks more like a waiter than a baseball player. Somebody may have looked at that design in 1909 and said "add something to his uniform so people can tell he's a baseball player!"

Thus the final version of the card has the collar colored in, and the B on the jersey. Just one reason why proofs are needed.
