Let's See Your T206 Brown Lennox, Broad Leaf 460, Drum, and Uzit

[Jobu]

I have never owned one of these, but I would like to see what you have for the 4 toughest factory-issued T206 backs.

Thanks!

[Sean]

Here you go Bryan. By the way, this is an old scan. The Broadleaf 460 is now in a PSA holder. I'm sure that you'll see the pattern:

pair of Uzits with the two different shades of blue and a decent BL 460

[Sean]

That is actually a great Broadleaf 460. :)

[Rhotchkiss]

Amazing Broadleaf 460. In all sincerity, I would love the opportunity to trade for it, or to buy ("paying strong" for BL 460). Here is my contribution -- a Drum, Brown old Mill, Brown Lenox, Black Lenox, Uzit and a BL 350. No love for the Carolina Brights or Red Hindu??!!

[sb1]

I had 4-5 at one time, kept this one raw, thinking it was the nicest one. Had one other I sent in and got a 60, so still sure this was the nicer, got rid of the 60 and then got this one graded a year or so later. Sometimes you lose :(

[MVSNYC]

Great stuff, Guys.

Between Sean's cards, and Rhotch's, I've owned several of those exact cards.

This Mullin Uzit, I own, has the darkest ink I've ever seen on a Uzit.

The BL460 is on eBay now through Probstein.

[sb1]

Wonder if the Murphy BL 460 was once with the Reb Cobb BL460, as they both have the corners torn off. They were not in the same lot when I bought it many years ago, but may have been in the same collection at one time.

[bbcard1]

And if anybody has a low grade Drum Davidson, he's still looking for company.

That's right, I bought the Street/ Drum from Mike. It goes really well with the Street/ BL460. :)

Here are mine: http://t206society.com/product/t206-society-collection/

It took something like eight years to get B. OM, B. Lenox, BL 460, Drum and Uzit in the same place at the same time, at least for me. I was not able to find elite HOF for any of these but to be honest I just feel grateful to have finally found one of each.

Great thread. Lots of amazing material here. Hopefully it becomes packed with great examples. I am excited to see some more amazing examples. Thank you very much for sharing.

Here are some of my UZIT, DRUM, LENOX, red HINDU cards. Included, are front/back combos of two very tough T206's
whose backs are not normally considered that "tough"......AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and SOVEREIGN 460.


This one is unique

http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan77/images/broadleaf460back.jpg ...... and, this card I acquired many years ago, but I cannot find its front image.
I do not have this card anymore. Anyway, since it's a nice example of a BL 460, I thought it's worth displaying its back.



So sorry......no brown LENOX.

Only scan I currently have; sorry for the Piedmont.

[DerekMichael]

That Walter Johnson Drum made my heart skip a beat. That Crawford Uzit is gorgeous as well. Wow!

I love these threads. They never get old. Thanks for sharing guys.

[charlietheexterminator]

Here are six of my seven Drums that I have pics of in this phone. None are for sale, as I have a hard time dealing with sellers remorse.
I use to own the Ty Cobb, bat off, Brown Lenox. Sold it about ten years, I'm still struggling with it, still regret selling it. I sold Wagner #17 about forty years, still not over it.

[hshrimps]

What about Brown Old Mill and Ty Cobb backs???

[iowadoc77]

What about Brown Old Mill and Ty Cobb backs???

Because most of us have plenty of those laying around...:D

[Sean]

I think that Bryan excluded Brown Old Mills because they are scrap cards that were never distributed in packs of cigarettes, and Cobb backs because he (and many others) consider it a separate issue, not a part of the T206 set.

[Sean]

Because most of us have plenty of those laying around...:D

And as for you, Eric, go forth and do not return without an Uzit. :D

[Blunder19]

My brown old mill.. The Mullaney / Young Ghost.. underneath all of those prints is the Brown Old Mill. :)

Fantastic card Jamie. I enjoy seeing this so much, that I have my own pic of it, lol

[Sean]

Hey Jaime, I always wondered who got Leon's Mullaney. Nice going. I'm glad it stayed with a board member. :)

[Blunder19]

Thanks Sean... i always loved that card.. was happy to add it to my collection..

[iowadoc77]

Yes sir

Thanks! I'm glad to know others enjoy seeing it. :D

Thanks to everybody for sharing -- I love these threads, too. Nice start, Bryan.

If Brown OM is scrap, what about Brown Lenox?

[Jobu]

Thanks for all of the great posts so far!

To Mike (post 7) --- good luck with the sale of your BL 460! You didn't post a link, so I will:

I was looking for the overall 4 toughest non-scrap backs. I drew the line at 4 because overall Red Hindu doesn't match the top 4 --- some Red Hindu combos are really tough, but if all you want is any Red Hindu they don't rank with these 4. I don't know enough about the Cobb back to have a defensible opinion there, but I also wanted to see some cards get posted!

Brown Lenox were factory cut and will receive numerical grades unless they were altered. 100% of the Brown Old Mills are printer's scrap and will always receive an Authentic grade.

Here are two good articles about T206 back scarcity that owe much to a few of our esteemed board members:

GREAT THREAD!

[David R]

With my other HOF backs minus a blank back Beckley that I haven't added to grid yet

[Sean]

Great concept David. :)

[David R]

Thanks Sean😊

[Rhotchkiss]

David, that is an awesome run. Coincidently, I am kinda working on something similar - one of each back, preferably in mid grades/condition with a HOF front (brown OM and SL aside), however, I may settle on lower grade commons for my drum, brown Lenox and BL 460. I will post my run at some point, but including the brown OM and Lenox, but excluding T213/T215. I am only a BL 460 away from a complete set/run. This and player back runs = lots of time, effort and $$$. But, alas, it yields a great picture like the one David posted and luckily we have a place like net54 where our craziness is (sometimes) appreciated by others.

Good luck and have fun with it. I put a lot of time in trying to find all those with a HOF on the front (I recently got a blank back that will ruin the symmetry of the grid so I haven't included it) but the hunt was the most fun. Now that I am done I do miss the journey.

[Sean]

You will find something new to collect; we all do. :D Maybe a back run or a team subset.

So who is the player on the Blank back?

Blank back is Jake Beckley, which luckily I didn't have on any of the other backs. The more backs I collected the harder it became to add a new one without repeating one of the HOFs on the front. I also wanted to make sure I had all four Cobbs, the three Youngs, both Johnsons and all three Matthewsons included in the run which resulted in quite a bit of shuffling along the way.

I'll bet that it did. I remember in 2004 when I got my first Uzit. Three months later I got my first (only) Brown Lenox. I couldn't get rid of either one, so I kept them both. Five years later I started a back run that's become my favorite subset.
