Those are great ads. I recall seeing the Wagner ad before. The bottom two ads, of course, are not related to T206s.

As late as September, 1909, Wagner was still in their plans. So when was the card pulled?

And to follow up on Barry's point, if all 150 cards were already inserted as of the first time the ad ran in July (which is what the ad states) then it would seem Wagner was included in packs for 3 months at a minimum...

If the Wagner did circulate in packs for three months, and I'm pretty certain it didn't, it wouldn't be much more difficult to find than Elberfeld or G. Brown.

These were really cool. Barry, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Wagner, but do we know to assume that they started putting the cards out in January? Or even June? I mean, could it be that the cards started being included in packs in late August?
Maybe when Honus opened his morning paper and saw this add, and realized he hadn't gotten a thing for it, he flipped! [Edited:] Oops, I didn't read a thing. Matt, just saw your good point. Maybe they changed the add even after they pulled the Wagner? Just to keep kids buying those sweet cigarettes for their favorite player. Or was it really a chase card?
