Okay, thanks Ted.

Do the T215-1 cards belong in the T206 set ?
 

You're welcome, Sean

Ole buddy, we both like to do T-card runs, so it behooves you to check-in with me regarding whether certain front/back combos exist.

Otherwise you'll find yourself on a "wild goose" chase for cards that don't really exist.

Touche Ted, I'll take you up on your offer. I'm currently stuck on three back runs. I need a T215 RED CROSS for each one.

Bresnahan batting, which you told me only exists in a Type-2;
Street catching, which I believe is in both the Type-1 and Type-2 varieties;
Merkle fielding, which you've said is a Type-1 card. Does it also come as a Type-2?

Hi Sean

Correcto on Bresnahan (batting).

Double correcto on Street (catching).

Merkle (throwing....excuse me for correcting you) exists as a T215-1 card and T215-2 card.

Hey Ted,

Curious -- where do you get Merkle on the Type 2 checklist? I only have Merkle on the Type 1 and Pirate checklists but not on the Type 2.

If anybody has as scan of either Type 1 or 2, I'd love to see it -- I don't have confirmation for my checklists.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve

Merkle (throwing) is listed as a T215-2 card in Bob Lemke's Standard Catalog of Vintage BB Cards.

And, I'm assuming this is correct since Merkle has been confirmed as a T215-1 and a PIRATE card.

Best wishes for the Holidays.

Thanks, Ted. :)
Looking at my lists again, I did have Merkle on my individual Type 1 and 2 lasts but for some reason didn't have the Type 2 on my combined list that I keep separately.

Guess I'm that much further from perfect. :p

Happy holidays and a happy new year to you as well!
Steve

T206 Reference/Reflections...Any guesses why no CHESTERFIELD or LUCKY STRIKE T-cards?
 

Hey guys,
I may be wrong, but I have not seen any Sports or Non-Sports tobacco cards with either the CHESTERFIELD brand or the LUCKY STRIKE brand on them.


In 1905, ATC acquired the the R.A. Paterson Co....maker of LUCKY STRIKE cigarettes. So, how come there aren't any T206's with a LUCKY STRIKE back ?

In in 1912 (after ATC's divestiture), Liggett & Myers introduced the CHESTERFIELD cigarette brand with the slogan "They do satisfy".

Anyone on this forum have any thoughts as to why these two major T-brands were not printed on insert premiums for cigarette packs ?

Exactly 100 years after L & M introduced the CHESTERFIELD brand, we have here a very colorful advertisement (dated May 2012)
with some familiar faces from the 1947 Season.

Hey guys,
I'm still waiting for anyone on this forum who has any thoughts (or information) as to why the CHESTERFIELD and LUCKY STRIKE brands
were not printed on insert premiums for cigarette packs (circa 1909 - 1919 era) ?
