1910 D322 Tip Top Bread Honus Wagner SGC 50 VG/EX 4. While the issue may not be familiar to the casual collector, the image most assuredly is. It's an artful remaining of Carl Horner's definitive photographic portrait, the same image utilized for the creation of the short-printed T206 tobacco card which serves as the hobby's most coveted and valuable cardboard. Though the Tip Top issue has never achieved the pronounced level of fame that the industry's leading tobacco set enjoys, it's a strong contender in considerations of scarcity, aesthetics and historical import.

Graded SGC 50 VG/EX 4. Just twenty-nine Tip Top Wagner's have found a home in an SGC capsule as of the writing. Only five outpacing the offered specimen's solid rating. The rather flimsy paper stock utilized is largely to blame for condition issues. Here we find anticipated corner wear and just one crease in the upper left. A solid example of one of the more scarce Wagner cards.
