One of Wagner's most attractive cards the E95 Philadelphia Caramel card depicts Wagner at the plate choked up on his enormous bat prepared to rip another base hit against an unseen pitcher. Of all the E95 cards this is perhaps the one with the greatest detail and of all the caramel cards of this type this is perhaps the one with the most interesting perspective - so many are deliberately posed illustrations made from studio or other posed photos. This clearly appears to be a true action image something rarely seen in this era. The card itself has been graded FAIR 20 by SGC though the technical grade doesn't really tell the story - the card is a lower to middle grade card but exhibits a scrape of paper loss on the reverse almost as if some writing had been removed at some point. The card does boast exceptional aesthetic appeal otherwise an extremely desirable card.
