Honus Wagner Throwing 350 Caporal Back

[Luke]

Is the caramel card legit?

[bbcard1]

I would guess legit.

[asoriano]

This card looks very familiar. Pretty sure it's been discussed in the past on this board.

Front is either an E90-1 card, or it could be a rare T216 card.

I read somewhere (here?) that the card was altered years ago by a frustrated T206 collector. He just wanted a Honus for his collection with no intent of defrauding anyone.

Or maybe an E102 front.

It's a sandwiched card.

[Tom S.]

It's definitely rarer than the Wagner portrait variation.

I'd venture to guess that it's even rarer than the Doyle NY Nat'l. variation too.

Here is my final product. I am too scared to go any further with my Kampking and Q-tips. I may try the paper towels and heavy books idea. Thank you. I think I lost the word Base at the top left. I can not see any writing underneath and I am again too scared to dig deeper.

Now leave it alone. Most of us have gone a bit too far before with disastrous outcomes. Nice card and Nice job!!!
