How about posting some T205 back Runs
Well, we have seen numerous T206 back Runs. It's time to show off some T205 back Runs.
So, I'll start this show with my near complete John Lobert run...... http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...BLobert50x.jpg. http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...LLobert50x.jpg. . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...CYCLEx50xx.jpg ..http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...BLobert50b.jpg. . .http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...LLobert50b.jpg.http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...CYCLEx50bx.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ntSweetCap.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...tSweetCapB.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...vereign25x.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ereign25xb.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ongCutT205.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...gCutT205bx.jpg I still need the POLAR BEAR back of Lobert to complete this run. Hey guys, any help here is greatly appreciated. And, although it has yet to be confirmed, I expect Lobert with a DRUM back will eventually appear (to complete the A - B - C - D connection). American Litho printed T205 cards with considerably less tobacco backs than the T206's. T205 back Runs should be fairly easy to put together. But of course, the exception being those T205's printed with DRUM or HINDU backs. TED Z T206 Reference . |
I know this isn't exactly a back run since it's different players, but I'm putting together a set with at least one of every possible back example. So far I'm at 13/17....missing the hard ones, of course.

I bet Ken could post some nice Cubs player runs since, in a pretty darn short amount of time, he is closing in on a master set of T205 Cubbies. No pressure, just saying...:rolleyes:

I don't have a run, but this T205 Paskert certainly has an unusual Broadleaf back:

How about posting some T205 back Runs
Only 15 % of the subjects in the T205 set were printed with the DRUM back. American Lithographic printed exactly 32 - T205 subjects with DRUM backs.
We know this based on a T-brand pattern presented 3 years ago on this forum......http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ght=t205+hindu A = B = C = D connection http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...genABbk25x.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Lobert25bx.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ggins25bxx.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...rDRUMx25bx.jpg The key factor in this A = B = C = D equation is the Black American Beauty back. Note that T205 subjects with the Green American Beauty back will NOT be found with a DRUM back. T205 DRUM checklist......32 subjects James Austin John Bates Beals Becker George Bell William Bergen Russell Blackburne Albert Bridwell Mordecai Brown Harold Chase (border on shirt) Frank Corridon Thomas Downey Louis Evans George Graham (blue signature) Buck Herzog Richard Hoblitzell Miller Huggins Jack Knight A. Latham Thomas Leach John Lobert Briscoe Lord Patrick Moran Frederick Olmstead George Paskert Fred Payne Edward Phelps John Quinn Lewis Richie David Shean George Stone Zach Wheat Harry Wolter The above 5 names in bold have yet to be confirmed with a DRUM back. However, they already have been confirmed with the A - B - C pattern. Therefore, I expect these 5 subjects will eventually be discovered with the DRUM back. This list is posted here for those of you doing T205 back Runs. In my opinion, T205's with DRUM backs are tougher to find than T206's with DRUM backs. So, you T205 "back-Runners" beware :) TED Z T206 Reference . |

Ted, do you know why T205s seem to be less back sensitive than T206s? For instance some of the tougher but not impossibly tough backs (Cycle, American Beauty) often don't sell for much of a premium.

Cycles are a common back anyway and should not get any premium at all(except the SP's). They are just as popular as a PB back. This is based on my collection of Cycles and availability. AB's on the other hand I have a soft spot for. I would love to say they carry a great premium but they don't unless its a super high grade or super tough FB combo like a AB Green Evers or a Barger with B on Cap. I hope this helps |
Quote:
I would think it has to do with the backs themselves. T206 have more artwork with a full ad on the back. T205's have a very small ad with little to no artwork. I don't collect t205's but do collect t206. Just my opinion |
Ted - great cards! How about the Broadleaf green? Most sources I've seen recognize two different BL backs.
Do you know if the ABCD cards be found with only black American Beauties and Broadleafs, or both black and green? |
Quote:
Thanks, Dan The ABCD subjects are only found with the black AMERICAN BEAUTY back. Here I've reprised my DRUM checklist, in which I state that T205 subjects with the Green American Beauty back will NOT be found with a DRUM back (i.e., the ABCD connection) . I have been collecting T205's since the 1980's and have yet to see this premise proven otherwise. Regarding the green BL cards, there are so few of them, and I'm beginning to suspect that they may possibly have resulted due to printing errors. For example, Huggins has been reported to only exist with a green BL back. I have Huggins with a black BL back. Quote:

Great thread idea and excellent content. Not necessarily surprised since the human encyclopedia himself started it. ;)
Makes me want to get more into T205s... |
A bit slow to the party, but here's what I have of a T205 Gibson back run so far. I had a Sweet Cap but it was trimmed so I gave it away. I thought it'd be easier to replace than it has been. I also need the Polar Bear and American Beauty still.

Miller Huggins
Huggins is my favorite of these T205 A-B-C-D sub-sets......
I've been searching for Huggins with a DRUM back for quite a while. Any help in finding this DRUM will be enormously appreciated. .http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Huggins25x.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...uggins25bx.jpg Hey guys, any more T205 Runs out there ? If so, why not show them ? ? TED Z T206 Reference . |
