One more opportunity to contribute to this list. Recently, a long time collector (from the 1960's) contacted me with a new DRUM input.
Events like this should give us hope, that some more of these extremely rare T206's remain to be reported.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Thanks guy.......there are some DRUM's that show up in multiples; and then, there are other DRUM's that are unique.
Your Moeller is a unique data point in this survey. The Thomas that was recently reported is also a unique data point.

Just thought you would like to know.

Hey guys, this survey has been up for 19 days, and has had 850 hits....yet no one has commented on the Kleinow (Boston)
card with a DRUM 350 back.

This lack of response really surprises me, as I'm sure that many of you know that this card is classified as a 460-only series
subject.

Anyhow, I have just posted a thread on this paradox. Check it out....and, I'd be interested in hearing from you on this find ?

Can you please tell me the team identification on this card ?

FYI....T206 DRUM confirmed list
 
DRUM connection with AMERICAN BEAUTY 350 cards. The following rules can be used as a guide for determining which T206's are found with the DRUM back.

350-only series

There are 190 subjects in this series that were printed with the AMERICAN BEAUTY 350 frame back (circa..Summer of 1910). My "A-B-C-D" theory (see NOTE)
suggests that these 190 subjects were also printed with the BROAD LEAF 350, CYCLE 350 and DRUM backs. For the greater part, this has been proven true for
the BROAD LEAF 350 and CYCLE 350 cards. However....to date....only 107 subjects in the 350-only series have been found with the DRUM back. Recent DRUM
finds these past several years have added new DRUM's to this tally. Eventually, I expect that we will find the outstanding DRUM cards.


350-only series example
http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...erfeldDRUM.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...rfeldDRUMb.jpg
350/460 series example


350/460 series

The AMERICAN BEAUTY 350 (AB 350) cards in the 350/460 series were printed without the frame. We have confirmed 37 of the subjects in this series with this
AB 350 back. It appears that American Lithographic also printed these 37 guys with DRUM backs. To date, 34 have been confirmed with the DRUM back. The 3
outstanding guys that have yet to be discovered are......

Conroy (bat)........CONFIRMED
Mullin (bat)
Stahl (glove)

FYI....T206 DRUM confirmed list....UPDATED (April 2013)
 
Back in April, Ron Oser called me that he had found two T206 DRUM cards.....Jack Barry and Topsy Hartsel.
He asked me if these two T206 cards were known DRUM's. At that date, they were not. I told Ron that he
discovered two new DRUM's.

I then added them to my 350-only subjects list....that raised the tally to 107 confirmed DRUM subjects.

FYI....T206 DRUM confirmed list....UPDATED (April 2013)
 
My research indicates that every AB 350 (no frame) subject that was printed with a BROAD LEAF 460 (BL 460) back will also be found with a DRUM back. Therefore,
let's consider the three AB 350 (no frame) subjects that have yet to be confirmed with the DRUM back......

Conroy (bat)
Mullin (bat)
Stahl (glove)

Conroy & Mullin both were also printed with the AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back. Therefore, due to my "mutually exclusive" rule, I do not expect these 2 subjects to be
found with the BL 460 back....consequently there is a slim (or no) chance that they were printed with a DRUM back.

On the other hand, the Jake Stahl has been confirmed with the BL 460 back. And, I will bet that Stahl will eventually be found with the DRUM back.

heretofore unknown (Hayden and Schreck). These 2 cards raise the total of confirmed DRUM cards to 151. The 3rd DRUM is LaPorte (only one was previously confirmed).

These DRUM' cards have been graded.....Hayden is an SGC 10.....Schreck is an SGC 10.....LaPorte is an SGC 20. They have been consigned to Heritage's summer auction.
