Gold Borders
 

There hasn't been a good T205 thread in a while.

Please show any of those gold border beauties.

I'll start it off with these:

Would love to see if anyone else has a yellow elephant compared to white:

T205
 

Here's one of the better looking cards in the series IMO:

From day one in the vintage hobby until now I have always thought T205 as one of, if not the, very best looking sets.

Iv'e showed these before but I have to contribute to this thread

Some Piedmont 42s, are these considered rare of just harder to come by? will they ever command a premium??

Printing
 

Do we know how these were printed? Obviously a lot more went into them than the t206's, but I'm curious - were the sheets nothing but color images with yellow in-between, then gold flake printed in the yellow 'cracks' on a final pass?

Here is a page out of my large T205 "extras" album. Love the pink color on the Bates card.

...No one? (Scott hates quoting himself)

A few tough ones I've shown before and an unusual Mordecai Brown/David Shean miscut that I haven't.

T205 Minor Leaguers
 

Gee....no Minor Leaguer's on display, yet ?

Here are 6 of the 12 in this set. In my opinion, the design of the Minor Leaguer cards is aesthetically more appealing than that of the Major Leaguer's in the T205 set.

The T80 Military Series are awesome examples of American Lithographic's Gold-Bordered artwork similar in design to the T205 Minor Leaguer cards.

WOW!!! I see a Hoblitzell "no stats", then a Wilhelm "suffered". Then a Jimmy Collins autographed card. 3 cards that are in my dreams. Good Work.

I am not certain of the authenticity of this autograph on my Jimmy Collins card.
