T206 "minor" variations

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Which of the lesser variation type cards should really be considered the best and worst to have?<br /><br />My thoughts are maybe either Dahlen (Brooklyn) or the Lundgren (Chicago) are the harder ones to come by? Especially in upper grades?<br /><br />I also think maybe the Kleinow (Boston) is a bit over hyped? <br /><br />Curious to hear thoughts...

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>what Evers variation? he has several poses, his "Cubs" card is part of the 150 only series, thus tuffer, BUT not a "variation"... the ones mentioned above are legitimate team change variaitons...

Posted By: <b>Cobby33</b><p>The initial question posed was not specific to "team change" variations, though perhaps it was suggested. True, the Evers is not a team change variation, but it is commonly referred to as a "variation" of some type.

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>Here's the order of scarcity I see the these FIVE subjects....and, their "scarcity factor" is really a function<br /> of how few T-brands each card was printed on. <br /><br />1st & 2nd.....O'Hara and Demmitt (St Louis variations).....exists with just POLAR BEAR<br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/ohara.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/demmitt.jpg"><br /><br />3rd & 4th.....Elberfeld (port-Washington) and Lundgren (Cubs).....exists with only with 3 diff. backs.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/elberfld.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/aclundgren.jpg"><br /><br /><br />5th.....Dahlen (Brooklyn).....exists with only 5 diff. backs<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/abdahlen.jpg"><br /><br /><br />And, I don't agree with the consensus that are saying Kleinow (Boston) or F. Smith (Chi & Bost) are "tough".<br />Shown here is Smith with 8 of the 12 diff. backs that he appears on....I'm still looking for the remaining 4 to<br /> complete my run on this Smith card.<br /><br />And, Kleinow (Boston) appears with the same 12 diff. backs......So, how "tough" can these two cards be ?<br />My experience is that these two subjects, while tough, are not in the same class as the above 5 cards.<br /><br />TED Z <br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/arraysmith460.jpg">
