Love the T205 Drums......I (and many of us) have always thought there is quite a bit more out there. You have to think over time it will slow down.....and maybe it has. But these finds are great. Thanks for posting it Art.

I've been going to that shop since the guy worked at Dragon's Den across the street in the late 1980s. He always has a nice selection of vintage stuff in his glass case, but I have to believe he makes most of his card sales online. I'm often not sure why he has the storefront -- except when stuff like this happens!

Exactly!
Most show dealers will tell you the same thing. The chance to be able to find stuff like this is why they are there.

This Scarsdale find includes these T205 DRUM's......Phelps, Blackburne, Chase, Lord, Moran, Payne and Hoblitzell. Previously unconfirmed was the Phelps card.

American Litho printed exactly 32 subjects with DRUM backs in the T205 set. We know this based on a T-brand pattern presented last November on this forum.
For more info on this, check-out this thread......

A=B=C=D pattern

The key factor in this A=B=C=D equation is the Black American Beauty back. Note that a T205 subject with a Green American Beauty back
will NOT be found with a DRUM back.

The following 6 guys have yet to be confirmed with a DRUM back. But, they are confirmed with the A=B=C pattern. Therefore, I expect these 6 subjects will
eventually will be discovered with the DRUM back.


1......Becker
2......Evans
3......Herzog
4......Huggins
5......Lobert
6......Wheat


Hey guys
Please chime in here if you have (or can confirm) any of these 6 subjects with a DRUM back.
