HONUS WAGNER HAD A TWIN?



Jonas Wagner's 1909 T206A Piedmont Cigarette card was recently discovered in New Jersey! 
(It was also recently discovered that Honus Wagner had a twin brother?) 

The Honus Wagner 1909 T206 Piedmont Cigarette card is worth approximately $2.8 million. 
The Jonas Wagner 1909 T206A Piedmont Cigarette card is worth approximately 2.8 cents.

The card was uncovered by Mr. Bill Kopp, an award-winning art director/designer and avid baseball enthusiast, while rummaging through some Robin Trower lp's at a local garage sale.

During 2009 (only 100 years after the Honus and Jonas Wagner cards were produced) Mr. Kopp created an advertising campaign for the Can-Am League's Sussex Skyhawks. In 2010 Mr. Kopp created an extensive array of stadium signage for the New Jersey Jackals. 

It turns out Mr. Kopp has also worked for clients such as Nabisco, Hebrew National, Cuisinarts, New Jersey Tourism, New Jersey State Fair, Mt Creek Ski Resort & Water Park, Circle Line Cruises, Claritin, Crestor, AT&T and USA Network. Projects ranged from print & television campaigns to a gamut of point-of-purchase and collateral materials. 

After his discovery of the Jonas Wagner card Mr. Kopp was quoted as saying, "Nice mustache Jonas!" Hard to argue Bill's point. Also hard to argue with this seasoned professionals talent and drive.

As Mr. Kopp was uploading the Jonas Wagner card to ebay he wanted us to know, "Freelance or staff. I’m driven to win. Put my drive to work for you." Many of Mr. Kopp's clients wish Bill had a twin too.
