T206 Wagner for 20 cents? It actually happened...

I wonder who owns that Wagner Mastro bought. I don't recognize that Wagner unless it got tucked away for the past few decade. That Wagner should also show some glue stains on the back if I have to guess....(but never know since it was once owned by Mastro )

I think this one is the copy that ended up in the Hall of Fame, but I may be mistaken?

Very cool I love these old-time articles from the early days of card collecting. It's easy to see how something like that could happen back then finding a Wagner for pennies.

The only thing that jumps out at me is the horrific grammar in the headline. It makes me cringe!!
"Baseball Card Collectors: They're Rare Breed Indeed!"
Who forgot to add the "a" after "They're"?????
Yowza!!!

Ok, so if you're not mistaken and it belonged to the HOF, then who swiped it from the HOF?

Sometimes you just gotta find the humor in the saddest things....

I misspoke. I was thinking of the Met, not the Hall of Fame. It is mounted a lot like Burdick's, but it is a different copy.
