I have been picking up Cartlon Molesworth cards in past few months and I wanted to make sure that I have the perfect checklist so I can keep up with my hunt. Calrton isn't deaf but he grew up in Frederick, MD. He played for the deaf school's varsity baseball team while he was home school at his parents' farm growing up. I strongly believe he's very fluent in American Sign Language.

T-206 - Piedmont (have)
T-206 - Old Mill (have)
T-206 - Hindu (have)
T-210 - Old Mill (have)
T-211 - Red Sun Cigarettes (on way)
T-213 - Coupon Cigarettes (how rare?)

T-210 Orange Border ???
E-254 Colgan's Chips ???

Thanks!!
Danny

PSA has graded a 1.5 Fair and SGC has graded a 40 VG.

Based on the Old Cardboard website, Molesworth is not in the E254, but is possibly in the E270-2 set. It says possibly because Molesworth appears in the checklist, but has not been confirmed.

Good luck with your collection.

Molesworth is one of several cut-out photos from the Birmingham Barons on ebay now that seem to originate in a Barons team composite... not a card but a nice piece. Seen here, scroll down to 1913:

No T210 Orange Border Molesworth unfortunately. Great pickup on the T211 assuming its the one from the BST.

Danny,
The T211 Moles is rare and T213-1 is stupid rare. I would speculate there are less than 20 T211's in existence and less than 10 T213-1's in existence. (Pure speculation based off 20 years of hunting these two issues) I have only actually seen 1-2 Coupon examples and 3 or 4 T211 examples...

Edited to add, the T210 would be scarce in my book. Perhaps somewhere between 25-50 examples...
