Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Theoretically, it is possible that 110 subjects in the T206 set can be found with an American Beauty 460 back.<br /><br />But, far less than that have been confirmed. As, it is one of the tougher backs and we do not really know how<br />many T206's were printed with this back. Also, since this back has a Factory 42 (North Carolina) identification,<br /> we can presume these cards were issued at the very end of the T206 production run (circa 1911). Therefore,<br />as is usual with end-of-production issues, these cards appear to have been "short-printed".<br /><br />Show or tell us about your American Beauty 460 cards....graded ones....naked ones....near mint ones....Vg-Ex<br /> ones...."beaters".<br />We are not too fussy, any condition will do....lets see how many different ones we can account for ?<br /><br />I'll start with mine......<br /><br />Abbaticcio (blue slv)<br />Devore<br />Frill<br />Jordan (bat)<br />Lake (St Lo-No ball)<br />Leach (cap)<br />Needham<br />Payne<br />F.

Posted By: <b>steve yawitz</b><p>Funny you bring this up, Ted, as just the other day on the CU T206 thread I was saying that AB 460's are an underrated and deceptively difficult back. I'll go a bit out of my way for American Beauties and still only have two 460's out of about 315 T206's:<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/yawiesbaseballcards/19091911t206/T206%20Crandall%20_With%20Cap_.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/yawiesbaseballcards/19091911t206/T206%20Needham.jpg"><br><br><a href="http://imageevent.com/yawie99" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/yawie99</a>

Posted By: <b>Eric Angyal</b><p>I think if you look long enough, you will realize that the AB 350 backs without the frame are even tougher than the 460's. Just my 2 cents.<br /><br />Eric

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>It has always seemed to me that most of the Duffy white border cards I saw had AB backs. Way disproportionate to what I'd expect. Maybe I just thought that because I knew mine had an AB back. Anyone else notice that?

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Truth is that it was given to me by a good friend, and great collector. I got it just before my second round of heart surgery. The hard case it was sent in had a Post-It note on it, saying I could have it IF I survived the surgery, otherwise he wanted it back. He was giving me something to live for. The Post-It note is in my small box that holds almost all of my white border cards. I recall when I first saw the card, with others in a plastic sheet in a notebook, years before it was given to me. It was an "extra" he had. I pointed at it and told him it had an American Beauty back. He asked how could I know that. Their thinness is obvious, if you know to look for it. Although at times I have seen other cards that had been trimmed down to size.<br /><br />Thank you, Brian, for the kind words.

And, thanks to the response to <br />this Thread, I am encouraged to start my next T206 adventure trying to complete a sub-set of this T-brand.<br /><br />My projection is that all 48 subjects in the 460-only series and approx. 50% of the 56 subjects in the 350/460<br /> series comprise a complete run.

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>With no more postings of AB 460 cards here.....I'll bring up this comparison I had alluded to in a prior Thread.<br />The Red Cobb with Ty Cobb back and the American Beauty 460 back have these three aspects in common....<br /><br />1....Green Ink<br /><br />2....Very similar lettering style (namely C - R - S - T - Y letters)<br /><br />3....Both backs are Factory No. 42, 4th Dist. North Carolina (Liggett & Myers Tobacco plant)<br /><br />It is my understanding that the cards with AB 460 backs were in the final production runs of T206's (1911).<br />And, these cards would have been found inserted in American Beauty cigarette packs bearing the new L & M <br />inscription (instead of ATC).<br />And, I believe a linkage exists between the design of the Red Cobb (with Ty Cobb back) and the AB 460 design.<br />These similarities are just too coincidental for this not to be true.<br /><br />I'm sure what I have said here will invite some debate....but heck, this is why we have this forum. <br /><br />TED Z<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/abcdesignstyle.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/bcobbtycobb.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>If ebay is your metric, and given that it's graded, and if the bidder is a collector of the AB 460 backs,<br /> a Vg-Ex (PSA 4) card will range between $100 - $200. I've seen some brisk bidding drive the price up <br />to $250 for such a common.<br /><br />At shows, for an ungraded AB 460 card, I usually sell a Vg-Ex one for $75 - $100.<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Comparing the AB 460 list with the CYCLE 460 list, I find essentially the same subjects are in both lists. The<br /> Cycle 460 has a slight edge over the AB 460 with 87 confirmed subjects. I fully expect that, the AB 460 will<br /> total approx. 75 confirmed when all is said and done.<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Just to update this thread, I looked at 600+ T206's at the National and did not find any additional AB 460 cards to add to this list.<br /><br />I brought to the show about 40 - AB 350 cards and all of them were sold by Thursday. I'd say these cards are very popular with<br /> the collectors.<br /><br />T-Rex TED
