There are two different Heinie Wagner cards included in the T206 set. One shows more of his torso and shows Wagner holding a bat on his left shoulder. This version is more of a close up which depicts him in front of a light blue background holding a bat on his right shoulder. Each version of the card is equally rare, but this wonderful mid-grade offering has a tough Polar Bear back. Some light diamond cutting is present, with the centering slightly west on the canvas.

Light tobacco staining on the front gives this card some added character. Sharp edges offset some rounded corners, while the back features a bold, dark blue which has stood the test of time. SGC has only ever graded 30 total examples of this Polar Bear back version of the Wagner, with NONE receiving a higher grade than the EX 5 offered here.

Wagner was a 4-time World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox, winning the title in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918. He ended his career with 3,333 at bats. Don't miss your chance to add a T206 Wagner to your collection.
