The Wagners are AWESOME!!!

Great trio of Wagners!

Who the Hell is John Wagner?

John "Hans" Wagner was the twin brother of Johannes "Honus" Wagner. Like Jose Canseco's twin brother, Hans was pitcher of little note.

Jay (or anyone really),

Do you think this was a way to "Americanize" and make Wagner more "acceptable" to certain elements of society at the time?

Sort of like we have "Bob" Clemente Topps cards?

Most certainly. The German and Irish players of the 19c had a bad reputation as hard drinkers and trouble makers.

This morning...I picked up an e98 orange jennings off fleabay to complete my mini run of all 4 colors of e98 jenningses...WOO F'in HOO!!!!!!! It's been a bunch of years in the making.

If that Bender ever needs a new home.....

ben...I'll sell it to you for what I paid!

Pete, you are getting whistled for an overuse of exclamation points. Keep it down out there, will you?

Sounds like a 4 1/2 bunny deal.

I forgot all about those bunnies!

Yes Brian, but they haven't forgotten about you

I think I had the biggest pick up ever on this board.

Sterling Sports Auction.

Lee

i'm now against the black swamp find...can't even do a simple e98 search w/o waddling through a bunch of those stupid BS promo cards.

I agree...so annoying doing e98 search these days...I don't know Lee...there are some pretty stratospheric cards on this site!!!!!!

Your acquisition sure has a lot of growth potential!!!

I would go beyond Bosox Blair and say that those are beyond awesome. Scoring a Wagner trifecta is akin to shooting a white buffalo. Well done, sir. My hat is off to you. Those are just incredible.

A triplet of Monsters to get me back in the groove. I dropped out of sight for a couple weeks to chuck my dispensable at golf clubs, but I'm back on the game. And scored a HOF! Not a bad Sunday night.
