When is a T206 OLD MILL tougher than a red HINDU ? Let's see some tough OLD MILL's

[Sean]

Hey Ted. To your point, I would like to show you my Merkle portrait/ Old Mill, but I've never been able to find one.

Hi Ted,

I don't have any of those pesky 460-only "Exclusive 12" Old Mills. I do have Mr. Kling, a tough 150/350 Old Mill I acquired back in the Dark Ages (2004) who seems to have a Net54 following these days.

I can testify. Quite a difficult card


I can't seem to find a Tenney Old Mill anywhere. That's a big toughie that seems to be almost as difficult as the Merkle portrait.

Hey Sean

So, what you are saying is that an OLD MILL / Merkle is even scarcer than the UZIT / Merkle ?

Very, very interesting....that really defies the "pecking order" of the T206 back scarcity.

Ted, I've seen three or four Uzits. I haven't seen a portrait/ Old Mill in the four years that I've been searching.

Hey Ted, PSA lists zero Merkle portrait Old Mills. SGC lists 10 throwing and 6 unidentified Merkles, but zero confirmed Old Mill portraits.

T206resource.com says that it's confirmed, but I've never found one. Is anyone sure that it exists?

[RCMcKenzie]

I feel like Ted and Gabrinus are the only people on here that are not afraid that I'm about to rip them off for $50. I'm a real estate guy, I don't really know cards. I've posted since the first full count board. I try to keep a low profile. It's just a hobby. I have some cool cards for this thread...T206 OM is rare...and cheap....I have a few OM...I'm having some health issues like i assume most of you are, but I'm not dead.

[RCMcKenzie]

He was oKay, I guess. I sent him $38 dollars and the card arrived. Otherwise, kind of a jackweed. Whatever.

My OLD MILL list (started in 2006) has never shown Merkle (portrait) as confirmed......

I'm skeptical of any other lists that claim Merkle (portrait) exists. Let's see if someone on this forum posts a scan of this card ?

Hi Ted

Not sure how rare Lobert with an Old Mill back is, but I haven't seen many. I picked up this memento while on my Cooperstown visit from our friend Don F.

Hi Jantz

I have gleaned from 37 years of T206 collecting experience that "portrait subjects" in the 150/350 series are considerably tougher to
find with OLD MILL backs than in subsequent T206 series. Many of these guys were short-printed with OLD MILL. Lobert, however, is
not as tough to find with an OLD MILL back as are most other "portrait subjects" in the 150/350 series.

Speaking about Don Flewelling,this Summer the National coincides with HOF weekend, so I'll not be setting-up at Don's Cooperstown
Show. Since 1985, I have set-up at the Cooperstown Show. It has always been a great Show (except the weekend that Ripken was
inducted).

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. However, I don't know why Merkle is on that 150/350 series list.

When I re-arranged my OLD MILL list (4-14-2014) in order to break it down with respect to series, Merkle was not on this list.

I have to search into my records to find out why Merkle is included on this list, because I'm fairly certain he has not been confirmed.
But, I may be proven wrong.
