I had a great chat with the owner of this card at National. My thoughts are the players on the strip do appear to be from the same sub grouping for the 150 series (minus Wagner) but no way to really know that the strip order was used in production.
Definitely a stretch

At least this card is real, John. Fake Wagners start at 300k if they were born in Cincinnati!

i called and asked. the consigner presented it this way to them, both the description and opening bid. whether the description was verbatim or not that is unclear.
i can understand the desire for the consigner to have some input into what the description says if they feel it is relevant to the upsale of the card...within reason. on the flip side i would have expected that the auction house prevent something that is so...exceptionally bizarre...from making its way in. this definitely looks really silly as you are thumbing through the listings. figured someone there might wonder what others think if they put that in their auction. they just paved the way for listing really ridiculous stuff at really ridiculous prices. kevin

I am thinking of consigning a stick of Topps gum that was next to a '52 Mantle in the pack.
If you cross your eyes, hold the stick of gum at just the right angle, during an eclipse, you can just barely make out an impression of the back of the Mantle card. $750 shipped
