Gold Borders

[asoriano]

There hasn't been a good T205 thread in a while.

Please show any of those gold border beauties.

I'll start it off with these:

Bought this one from Ted Z. a few years ago:

From day one in the vintage hobby until now I have always thought T205 as one of, if not the, very best looking sets.

Do we know how these were printed? Obviously a lot more went into them than the t206's, but I'm curious - were the sheets nothing but color images with yellow in-between, then gold flake printed in the yellow 'cracks' on a final pass?

Here is a page out of my large T205 "extras" album. Love the pink color on the Bates card.

...No one? (Scott hates quoting himself)

[marcdelpercio]

A few tough ones I've shown before and an unusual Mordecai Brown/David Shean miscut that I haven't.

Gee....no Minor Leaguer's on display, yet ?

Here are 6 of the 12 in this set. In my opinion, the design of the Minor Leaguer cards is aesthetically more appealing than that of the Major Leaguer's in the T205 set.

The T80 Military Series are awesome examples of American Lithographic's Gold-Bordered artwork similar in design to the T205 Minor Leaguer cards.

WOW!!! I see a Hoblitzell "no stats", then a Wilhelm "suffered". Then a Jimmy Collins autographed card. 3 cards that are in my dreams. Good Work.

I am not certain of the authenticity of this autograph on my Jimmy Collins card.
