Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Hello everyone,<br /><br />I always assumed the T206 Piedmont release date was later in 1910 or early 1911. However, we (as in my company) came across a large lot of Piedmont 350's today, one of which was stamped and dated by a company from Christiansburg, PA "December 14, 1909". When was the release date?<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>Frank C</b><p>That date stamp makes sense, my understaning is mainstream 350 series distribution started late 1909/early 1910.

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Is it possible to get a scan posted of the stamped back? That's quite a bit of history in the stamp.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>The Dec 1909 date is consistent with Scot Reader's text (page 16) in that his research suggests "Winter/Spring 1910"<br /> release for the 350-only Series.<br />And, also it is consistent with the Piedmont brand being the first of the T-brands to be issued with each Series release.<br /><br />JAMES<br /><br />I'm curious....who is the player on this stamped T206 ?<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Guys, I will check the consignor's card later today. It is part of a 120 card T206 lot in our upcoming auction, so I don't remember. I will see if I can get a scan too....<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Hello James,<br /><br />Please post a scan of the card, front and back.<br /><br /><br />Dec 09 would be consistent with current understanding of release dates for the 350 cards. A December 1909 date could be stamped on a card in 1908, 1988, or even 2008. We'd like to see a scan.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Frank.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Thank you, the Downey fielding pose tells us that this card is strictly from the 350-only Series.<br />And, not a 350/460 Series card.<br /><br />TED Z
