My First Honus Wagner! Scans included

Orioles · August 28, 2009 10:48AM

I recently decided to sell a couple of my player sets. With the sale, I purchased my first Honus Wagner card. It is his E90-2 American Caramel card. It is a PSA 2.5. I think it looks great. The front bottom right corner has some paper loss and the back top left corner does as well. In addition, there is a very faint crease from the edge of the border (in the blue) at the left shoulder going up to just above his left ear. Looking straight at the card, it is hard to see, but when it is tilted, you can see it.

From what I can tell, there are 38 graded copies of this card. Can someone help by posting or PM me the breakdown by grade. I tried to piece it together using the set registry, but want to make sure it's right. If someone has populations of SGC grades as well, I'd appreciate it.

Man I love that card IMO it's his second best looking card behind his Crackerjack. It also has that T206 feel with a better photo and brighter background. What did you pay?

And the E90-2 is a bit rarer than the T206 card too!

***Actually the T206 card is one of the more common Vintage Wagners with its 55-60 known examples.

good for you. i balked on purchasing a wagner e90-2 3 years ago and regret it, as the price has increased monumentally since then. arguably, one of his most popular and sought after cards given the t206 pose, the relative scarcity of the set, and the nice blue background. good job!
