Default T206 UZIT show & tell....let's see these "blue gems"

It has been a while since we had a show & tell of UZIT brand T206's. The UZIT branded T206 cards were printed at the tail-end
of the T206 press runs in the Spring of 1911. Surveys have indicated that several of the 53 known T206 subjects with the UZIT
back appear more often than the others. For example, at least 5 samples of the following subjects have been confirmed while all
other UZIT cards typically range from 1 to 3 samples......

Cobb (bat off shoulder)
Jennings (both hands)
Latham
Wagner (bat on right shoulder)

If you know of more, please add them to this list ?


OK....I will begin this show with the two remaining UZIT's in my collection.

P.S.....regarding Leon's current POLL...." T206 backs will continue to go up? "

Certainly in the near future, BROAD LEAF 350 & 460, DRUM, brown & red HINDU, black & brown LENOX, and UZIT, will continue to
increase in value due to the law of "supply vs demand".
However, I voted "Don't know" simply because too many factors are in play here.

Having said that, at the Ft. Washington Show (circa 2006), I sold this Vg card of Wiltse (portrait with cap)/UZIT for about $600.
Subsequently, this exact card went for $1700+ in Barry Sloate's November 2008 auction. It goes without saying, these gems are
certainly still climbing in value.

Hey guys....why not proudly display your UZIT cards here and let's see how many we can come up with ?
