View Full Version : T51 College Series printers sheet
Recently acquired this and know how others enjoy printers type specimens so figured I would share. I know this has been posted on the non-sports side, though maybe not recently, and came from a member there. Kind of neat to see the palettes of colors and the cross hairs for alignment (I believe).

Ive always liked the T51s regardless of the low selling prices.

Very cool. I picked up a tobacco label proof awhile ago with similar markings and recently found a blank backed T218 for $5, lots of interesting non-baseball cards to be had.

Non-sports? They look sporty to me. Nice pickup Leon!

I've always likes the T51s because of the low selling prices (and the fact that they're great-looking cards). Have put this set together a couple times and pick them up whenever I see them at shows or in decent lots online. The larger-version T6 premiums are awesome as well, but obviously much more costly.
Leon - that's a beautiful sheet. I'd love to add one to my collection if you ever come across another, or want to sell that one!

Nice item!
I've got a few of the T51s (the football ones and Williams [my alma mater] basketball) and they are quite colorful.
As to pricing, some can be a tad expensive - like all the ones I wanted to buy including a Johns Hopkins example for my daughter [her alma mater], which I still do not own.

Great pick-up Leon. (The sheet, not the coin.)
Frankly, I always thought the sports related pictures (even golf) were great images and significantly under-valued. I always put them into my special "box" when I run across one.

Kevin - I believe I have an extra Johns Hopkins and will check my duplicates when I return home on Tuesday. It's yours if I can find it. It's a lacrosse player, if I remember correctly.
The Williams College basketball scene is very cool. All of the cards that picture major sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey or golf) will usually command a premium over the others in the set, especially if it's a major school with one of those scenes - Michigan football, Harvard football or Penn State baseball, for example.
It seems that I read somewhere that the Williams card is considered the "first basketball card?" It was in the first series of T51s, but I don't know if this true or not, just seems that I read or heard that somewhere.

Both interesting and attractive.
