Actual Master Set of T206's
OK guys....I thought we had already discussed this....however, let's try again.
The gist of this quiz was to set a number on the actual (confirmed) front/back combos known to date.
Not the theoretical number which approaches 7000 cards. There are many T206 NO-PRINTS that must
be considered.
For starters......your......
"American Beauty - Series 460 - Factory 42 - District 4 - State NC – 109 Cards"....is not factual for the
following two reasons:
1st......There are not 109 possibilities, there are 103. The 6-super print were not printed with AB 460
backs (these 6 cards exist with AB 350 with frame backs).
2nd......Approx. 1/2 of the cards (55) from the 350/460 series do not exist with AB 460 backs. There-
fore, American Litho. printed approx. 75 cards with the AB 460 back.
Continuing......your......
"American Beauty (With Frame) - Series 350 - Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA – 213 Cards"
It has been confirmed that only 192 cards have been printed with the AB 350 (frame)) back.
Furthermore......your......
"Sovereign - Series 350 - Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA – 413 Cards"....is actually 285 cards
"El Principe De Gales - Factory 17 - District 2 - State VA – 470 Cards"....is actually approx. 300 cards
"Lenox (Black) - Factory 30 - District 2 - State NY – 110 Cards".....is actually approx. 67 cards
"Lenox (Brown) - Factory 30 - District 2 - State NY – 113 Cards".....is actually approx. 2 cards
"Hindu (Red) - Factory 649 - District 1 - State NY – 113 Cards".....is actually approx. 44 cards
I could provide you actual numbers for all 36 of the T-backs. But by now, with these 7 examples, I hope
I've made my point.
Remember, the toughest challenge anyone has that considers completing any of the T-brand sub-sets,
or a more ambitious master set, is to determine what cards were NOT PRINTED. And, believe me, this is
no minor task.
