I reached out to the sellers about why their descriptions are so similar, and neither addressed that issue:

From seller "goose_1": "updated the information.....my sheet was obtained years ago from Frank Nagy, one of the pioneers of baseball card sales..he had at the time a couple of Wagner T-206s. I had the sheet framed.....the other seller now had info I thought was an explanation// not sure of it.."

Note that I didn't amend the response by goose_1, he apparently just writes with a lot of ellipses.

And from the other seller "flipnj": "I think Bowman may have made more than 1. If the other is authentic, its a great price."

Obviously, the responses are lacking, especially the second one.

I am not finding a lot of comps for these, but it seems like $2,750 starting bid from goose_1 for the sheet with #s 1 through 36 is a reasonable price.
Seems like it would be risky to ship them in the glass frame, but I guess he can get insurance thru fedex, which is how the seller says he/she is shipping it.
