Wagner cards more common than the T206 Wagner

[puckpaul]

M101-1 Sporting News is rarer and the National Copper Plate even rarer than that, perhaps ten or so of the first and maybe just five or so NCP? NCP is the real rookie appearance (1898). one of my favorite cards!

....so what do you guys have?

This is a fun list to read, now let's have a little fun inventorying.

I have :
E95 Philadelphia Caramel Wagner
E98 (light blue) Wagner
E105 Mello Mint (batting) Wagner

Who else wants to share?

I have:
E106 American Caramel
M116 Sporting Life blue

Looking to sell one or the other in order to pick up a '52 Mantle if anyone is interested

Since I started this thread, I should at least partially participate in this as well. I have a couple of cards in the More Common than category, which we all know are practically worthless since they are more readily available than the T206 Wagner, and thus not worthy of listing here.

I do have one in the Definitely Less Common than the Wagner T206 category...an Orange Border 'Portrait', and the thing, even in low condition, is very cool.

And D303 General, both poses.

ETA total pop on General Baking is 4 of each pose. I don't see any graded Mother's Bread. Has anyone ever seen one?

I suppose D355 is theoretical also.

ETA again: I see some prior D303-2 Wagner auctions, so the pop reports must not do a very good job of distinguishing between them. Stop probably 4 of each pose total between D303-1 and -2.

A Mother's Bread Wagner (batting) just sold in REA less than 2 weeks ago

I liked this article on the NCP issues:

The descriptions on the back make the copper plates so great. Is there another issue where you get rookie cards or unique cards, and substantial descriptions on the back of what the players and times were like? Amazing issues.

Nice valid observations on some missing cards...I will update the list in a few days when I have the opportunity to cut/paste.
