Lot # 565: 1911-1914 D304 Brunners Bread Honus Wagner SGC FAIR 1.5

Presented is one of the key Hall of Famers from the extremely rare, 25-card D304 Brunners Butter Krust brand bread (General Baking Co.) series: Honus Wagner. This is one of Wagner's rarest, most unusual, and most striking vintage cards. Issued by a bakery in the Buffalo, New York area, these cards are known with five different back styles (Brunners, Butter Krust, General Baking Co., Weber Bakery, and Martens Bakery). Similar in design to tobacco and candy cards of the era, D304s measure slightly larger than T206s, at 1.75 x 2.5 inches. They are considerably rarer than most 1910-era “E” and “T” card issues. The fronts have attractive full-color illustrations, each of which is unique to this issue. The offered card has brilliant colors and a crisp image of Wagner. The back of the card has advertising for Brunners Butter Krust brand bread and is boldly printed in green. Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC, condition flaws include heavy creasing, corner wear, and a small stain on the reverse.
