Description
Only six superior!
1910 D322 Tip Top Bread Honus Wagner SGC VG-EX 4. While the
issue may not be familiar to the casual collector, the image most
assuredly is. It's an artful reimagining 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.The regional distribution accounts for the intense scarcity today (as well, of course, as the passage of eleven and a half decades since production). This set was crafted to celebrate the 1909 World Series Champs for the Pittsburgh market, packaged with loaves of bread for Steeltown sandwich eaters. Fewer than 700 specimens from the entire issue appear in the SGC population, and this is one of just four Wagners at the VG-EX 4 level, bested by only six. The image area is in world-class condition, with imperfect left-right centering and minor corner wear the primary factors for points lost. Graded SGC VG-EX 4.
Guide Value or Estimate: $100,000 - up.
