Hi Denny
Thanks for the information on "Big Ed". Walsh (as you well know) was amazing from 1907 - 1912.....168 Wins. That's an average of 24 Wins per season ! Hey guy, we here in Pennsylvania have produced a lot of great ballplayers throughout the years. Dare I say the T206 set consists of more Pennsylvanians than from any other state in the country back then. Yes, for 3 consecutive seasons Jack Coombs was a tremendous pitcher. But your guy was tremendous for 7 consecutive years. Thanks again for the memories, TED Z . |

While playing around with spreadsheet checklists for Polar Bears and Sovereigns, I came across something interesting that may or may not have been brought up in the past. The first part I'm sure everyone is aware of is that all Sovereign 150/350 cards do not exist with Polar Bear backs. The second part which I normally wouldn't think much into it but a magic number 55 comes into play. I combined the Sovereign and Polar Bear lists together. I then removed the Sovereign 150/350 cards. Then I removed the cards that shared Polar Bear and Sovereign backs. What I was left with was a list of Polar Bears that don't have Sovereign 350 & 460 counterparts, and a list of Sovereign 350's that don't have Polar Bear counterparts. Odd thing is that each list has 55 unique cards and the Sovereign's are all the Forest Green Backs. So, am I putting too much thought into this? What's everyone's thoughts that each list has 55 cards? All cards are from the Print Group 2 class except where noted.

Hi Ron
Interesting stuff. I did a similar analysis with POLAR BEAR vs 1910 COUPON (T213-1) Major League (48) subjects in 2008. Refer to this thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...1654&highlight Shown here are the 48- Major League subjects in the 1910 COUPON set. The 1910 COUPON cards were issued circa..Spring/Summer 1910. My theory.....is this group of 48 subjects were printed from an early 350-only sheet of T206 cards. From this group, 39 subjects are POLAR BEAR No-Prints. The nine printed POLAR BEAR cards from this group are listed below. 1910 COUPON (T213-1) Major League (48) subjects Confirmed POLAR BEAR Subjects from this COUPON group Engle LaPorte Willett and the Six Super-Prints....which of course went on to be 350/460 series subjects and have PB backs Chance (yellow portrait) Chase (blue portrait) Chase (dark cap) Cobb (red portrait) Evers (bat-yellow sky) Mathewson (dark cap) TED Z .

OK, I need Greminger's 1910 COUPON card to fill-out this run. If anyone reading this has a T213-1 Greminger for sale, email me.... tedzan11@comcast.net Another challenge is trying for a "Quadruplicate" subset that includes a 1910 COUPON card of your favorite SL guy from 20 subjects in the Southern Association of the T213-1 set.

T206 Southern Leaguers Brown OLD MILL cards
* * * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * *
During the Summer of 1909, American Litho (ALC) printed SWEET CAPORAL 150 Factory #30 cards of many Major Leaguers and shipped them to Factory #30 in NYC. Simultaneously, ALC started printing their first group (34 subjects) of Southern Leaguers. These cards were printed with brown HINDU backs and were shipped to the Factory (#649) producing HINDU cigarettes (also SWEET CAPORAL cigarettes). Furthermore, ALC selected 34 - Major League subjects from the batches of the aforementioned SWEET CAPORAL 150 cards and modified the backs by stamping them with the "Factory #649" overprint in order to ship them to this new factory. Circa..Fall of 1909, ALC switched to printing up the OLD MILL backs on the Southern League cards. During this entire process, the usual printer's practice of test runs between actual press runs resulted in these brown inked OLD MILL (scrap) cards [with the red ink Factory #649 overprint (inverted)]. I don't think any of them found their way into cigarette packs. Anyhow, to date 13 of them have been confirmed. They are........

Hey Ted, I need your help. In reviewing post #30 I noticed that you mentioned the close correlation between the Red Cross type-1 and the Pirate sets. The Red Cross set features a Gabby Street card. I thought that that was a Street Catching pose. But the Pirate set features a Street portrait.
Does that mean that the Red Cross Street card is also the portrait version? Last edited by Sean; 07-14-2017 at 11:32 PM. |

The mysterious T206 brown LENOX cards
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
..^............... brown LENOX examples ...............^ The timeline of the printing of these Group B subjects with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460, LENOX, and UZIT backs was Jan - Feb 1911. This exact timeline coincides with the printing of the T80 (Military Men) cards. Shown below, the T80 cards were printed with CAIRO MONOPOL, LENOX, OLD MILL, TOLSTOI, and UZIT backs. To date, 25 brown LENOX cards are confirmed. If my theory proves true, I predict that 11 (or 12) more T206 cards may eventually be discovered with the brown LENOX backs. Exactly 19 subjects of the 25 brown LENOX cards are from the 350/460 series, and 6 subjects are from the 460-only series...... 350/460 series....Group B 350/460 series subjects confirmed with brown LENOX backs Bradley (bat) Burch (fielding) Cobb (bat off shoulder) Conroy (bat) Crawford (bat) Jennings (one hand) Jordan (bat) Lajoie (bat) Lake (no ball) Leach (cap) Leifield (bat) Manning (pitching) McQuillan (bat) Overall (yellow sky) Pfeister (throwing) F. Smith (Chicago & Boston) Wagner (bat on right shoulder) Willetts Willis (bat) T80 cards So, here is my hypothesis: The printer at American Lithographic failed to switch from the brown ink after press runs of T80 CAIRO MONOPOL backs to black ink prior to starting a press run of T206 LENOX backs. Apparently, this mistake was caught quickly, which would explain why very few T206 brown LENOX examples exist. Instead of QA discarding these brown LENOX cards, the sheets were factory-cut, and these brown LENOX cards were shipped along with the black LENOX cards to Factory #30. And, inserted into LENOX cigarette packs. The 6 brown LENOX cards from the 460-only series are from the same group of 9 subjects that are the only confirmed PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 cards in this series. 460-only series subjects confirmed with brown LENOX backs Chase (trophy) Latham Marquard (pitching) Merkle (throwing) Schlei (portrait) Wiltse (portrait-cap) I expect these 3 subjects from the 460-only series will eventually be found with brown LENOX backs...... Schlei (batting) Schaefer (Washington) Seymour (portrait) Let's see your brown LENOX cards. If you have these very rare "gems", why not show them. So, please post them here. TED Z .

I want to thank Ted for this thread. I've been reading it over the last few evenings and will certainly be referencing it in the future.
The amount of information in this thread and Scot's book just blow my mind. I'm an analytical guy. My occupation is a retail analyst. All of this information is an overload for me. Hopefully, some of it will eventually sink in.

As I mentioned before, there is so much info that I can't seem to get a good, solid grip on it all. One question I had is, on the SLers, are there factory variations as well as the three (or two) brand variations?
Any info is greatly appreciated and thank you for sharing all of this information that you've put together! -kin Quote:

Thank you so much, Ted. I'm working on the T36 set and in it, each card has a Hassan and Mecca back, and each of those has a Factory 30 and a Factory 649 back. Wasn't sure if that might be the case on these.

Hi Kin,
Thanks for the nice words. As Ted says there are just the three brand/factory combos for southern leaguers. There is a footnote, however. A handful of southern leaguer cards having the Old Mill Southern back were printed in brown ink. These cards are all hand-cut i.e. scrap. Moreover, a couple of these Brown Old Mill Southerns (Greminger comes to mind) weirdly have a red Factory 649 overstrike stamp on them. If you search the Net54 archives you will find an image of the "freak" Greminger Brown Old Mill Southern Factory 649 Overstrike card somewhere.

SWEET CAPORAL 460, Factory #30 backs (w/o Factory #42 overprint)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
350/460 series subjects In a conversation with David Hall at the National talking T206's, one topic was regarding the recent find of the 350/460 cards with SWEET CAPORAL 460 Factory #30 backs. These cards were never issued in cigarette packs at Factory #30 (NYC). Instead, American Lithographic overprinted them with the Factory #42 stamp and shipped them to Factory #42 (Durham, NC). It's my understanding that these cards in David's set were originally on a sheet. Unfortunately, the owner of this sheet hand-cut them. Anyhow, I was curious and asked David to email me a list of them. And, here is David's list...... 28 Hand-Cut (Not Issued) Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory 30 cards Berger, Heinie Bradley, Bill (With Bat) Burch, Al (Fielding) Cobb, Ty (Bat Off Shoulder) Conroy, Wid (With Bat) Crawford, Sam (With Bat) Jennings, Hughie (One Hand Showing) Jennings, Hughie (Two Hands Showing) Jordan, Tim (Batting) Lajoie, Nap (With Bat) Lake, Joe (St. Louis - No Ball) Leach, Tommy (Bending Over) Leifield, Lefty (Batting) Manning, Rube (Pitching) McQuillan, George (With Bat) Mullin, George (With Bat) Overall, Orval (Hand At Face Level) Pelty, Barney (Vertical) Pfeister, Jake (Throwing) Smith, Frank (Chicago & Boston) Steinfeldt, Harry (With Bat) Tinker, Joe (Bat Off Shoulder) Wagner, Heinie (Bat On Right Shoulder) White, Doc (Pitching) Very, very interesting, in that this sheet comprising of these 28 cards coincides exactly with my theory regarding the 28 subjects which I refer to as "Group B" (350/460 series).

Hey Ted, sorry to go off-topic, but I have a timeline question about T214s and T213s. I noticed that the Bresnahan appears as a T213 Type-2 with the Chicago Cubs. He appears as well with the Toledo team, presumably in a later print run of Type-2 Coupons. I've always read that these were printed in 1914. But the T214 Bresnahan, printed in 1915 still lists him with Chicago. Then in 1919 the Coupon Type-3s also show Bresnahan with Toledo.
Does this mean that there was a second print run of Type-2s that was later than the 1915 printing of T214s? You've probably addressed this somewhere before, but I can't find it. Here are the cards that I mentioned: scan0009.jpg scan0010.jpg |

Hi Sean Here's my understanding of the timeline regarding Bresnahan. In early 1916, Bresnahan purchased the Toledo Mud Hens (American Association). He played for Toledo until 1918. Therefore, I am not surprised that he is identified with Toledo on a T213-2 card (they were printed 1914 - 1916). And, of course captioned with Toledo on a T213-3 card (which were printed as late as 1919). Does this answer help ? TED Z . |
#186
|

|

Yes, that explains it. Bresnahan appears on a T213 Type-2 with Chicago in 1914. He then appears on the Victory, again with Chicago, printed in 1915.
The Type-2 with Bresnahan on Toledo is then printed, apparently in 1916, followed by the Type-3, which was printed in 1919. I didn't realize that the Type-2s were printed as late as 1916. Thanks again Ted. |

Hi Kin K. No, it's not the case on the Southern League T206 cards. The T36 (Auto Drivers) cards were printed and issued approx. the same time the T201 and T202 BB cards were. The MECCA and HASSAN backs on these BB cards, respectively, have both the Factory #30 and a Factory #649 backs. My experience in completing the T201 set (and still working on the T202 set) has been that the Factory #649 backs are more plentiful than the Factory #30 backs. Is this difference also true for your T36 cards ? TED Z . |

Ted,
The sample size of cards that I've been able to verify and analyze is very small. Sometimes I can't see the back scans to verify that aspect. In the Huggins & Scott auction that ended this week, there was a complete set but only the fronts were pictured. What I've found so far is Mecca 30 backs being the most plentiful. The other three brand/factory combinations have similar numbers. I'm not confident this will hold up, as I've been looking into this for less than two years. Thanks again for your great, informative thread! -kin Quote:

El Principe de Gales
* * * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * *
One of the early and very significant T206 thread was posted in June 2006 by Barry Arnold, titled T206 EPDG- - - how rare in your collection ? This thread inspired lot's of brainstorming between Net54ers regarding various aspects of T206 cards. Surveys and new theory's were explored, resulting in 363 posts which you'll find very interesting and informative. The El Principe de Gales (EPDG) brand dates back to 1850's. Its founder, Vicente Martínez Ybor, started producing Cigars in Havana, Cuba. In 1869, he fled from Cuba to Key West, Florida where he continued manufacturing EPDG cigars. In 1885, he moved to Tampa, FL where he built a larger factory which produced his EPDG cigars. Note that the EPDG cigarettes were manufactured at Factory #17 in Virginia. If any one on this forum knows where this Factory was located, please chime in....Thanx. .... . . . . . . To date, there are 284 confirmed T206 cards with the EPDG back.....they are listed here as a function of their respective T206 series. 150/350 Series................83 subjects .

Thanks for putting this back on the map......I have a couple of edits for you.
1. Your 460-only Series says 37 subjects, but only 36 are listed. Harry Howell hands at waist is missing from your list. 2. Steinfeldt portrait is in the 150/350 series and you have him listed in both the 150/350 series and the 350/460 series. So I think your count for the 350/460 series should be 56 subjects, not 57. 3. So the total number of subjects from your list would be 284 instead of 285. Back to the players themselves. Of the 284 subjects from your list, all but 3 have graded examples in the SGC and PSA pop charts. They are Hunky Shaw, Jim Pastorius, and Ed Willett. For the rest of the subjects, they have a minimum of 3 graded examples. My first instinct is to say they don't exist, but I've been proven wrong in the past. I would love to see an example of these guys, so if anyone has one, lets see them! I'd also point out the uniqueness of the Elite 11 with EPDG backs which is a fun subject. After having collected EPDGs for the last few years, I would say they are not any tougher to find than a regular EPDG, with a few exceptions. As an example, I've owned 4 different Tom Jones EPDG cards. Knowing the difficulty finding these subjects with Piedmont 350 backs, I support a theory that the EPDGs were printed before the Piedmont 350's. Pat R, who is awesome, had a great thread about this using print defects in comparing 150/350 subjects. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=231030 I haven't updated my collage in a while, but I'm sitting at 223 unique EPDG's at this point. Here's my first 214. |

Hi Jeff
1st....the grand total of 285 confirmed EPDG subjects is correct...... Cards ..... Series ..83 ........ 150/350 102 ........ 350-only ...6 ......... Super-Prints ..57 ........ 350/460 [if Kleinow (Boston) exists with EPDG)] ..37 ........ 460-only 2nd....I left out Howell in the 460-only series list. Just a hasty typing mistake. This has been corrected. 3rd....There is a question regarding Kleinow (Boston). I have heard this combo exists; however, others say it is a No-Print. What say you ? 4th....I really like your array of EPDG cards, thanks for posting it. Pastorius, Shaw, and Willett are on my confirmed list (and also on t206 resource's list). My experience with collecting the Elite 11 regarding both their PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG backs varies all over the place. But, Lundgren (Cubs) is definitely a "toughie" with PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG backs. Thanks again. TED Z . |

Hey Jeff 1....My 460-only list is correct with 37 subjects. I inadvertently omitted Howell. He is included in this list. 2....Steinfeldt (portrait) in the 350/460 series list was a typo error, which I have removed. It should have been Steinfeldt (bat). This has been corrected. Therefore, 57 subjects are correct if you accept Kleinow (Boston) as valid. I have some doubts that this subject exists with an EPDG back. So, I am asking you again....if you know that this front/back combo exists ? ? TED Z . |

I forgot that you have Kleinow Boston in the 350/460 batch due to the Drum 350 find. That was throwing me for a loop in this.
In the simplest terms, I find it unlikely due to the lack of proof that any have been seen or graded. I know that sounds weak but that's the only true real evidence we can go with. Do we have an idea of when the 460 print runs occurred or the order in which they occurred? If the EPDG print run was early, I could see a scenario where it's possible.....namely the intent to keep the Kleinow NY catching as part of the 460 and then switch over to Boston when the trade occurred, all while the EPDG were being printed for the 460's. |

My theory regarding the timeline when the 350/460 subjects were printed with EPDG backs coincides with the Sovereign "apple green" print run (shown here is my simulated Sovereign sheet)....circa Spring - Summer 1910. I base this on the following evidence...... Joe Doyle retires from Major League BB June 25, 1910 Simon Nicholls retires from Major League BB April 19, 1910 Red Kleinow traded to Boston May 26, 1910 Frank Smith traded to Boston Aug 11, 1910 [F. Smith(Chicago & Boston) is an EPDG No-Print] I have removed Red Kleinow (Boston) from my list. Therefore, the grand total (to date) of EPDG = 284 subjects. TED Z .

SWEET CAPORAL 350-460, Factory #42 overprint cards
* * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
350/460 series subjects Continuing from Post # 181 ...... In anticipation of the impending divestiture of the American Tobacco Co. (ATC) in 1911, American Lithographic modified their SWEET CAPORAL 350-460, Factory #30 cards (initial press run) by stamping them with Factory #42 overprints. This was done since the SWEET CAP cigarettes production was being transferred to the Durham, NC plant of Liggett & Myers. Factory #42 Durham, NC Anyhow, after ATC's divesture was resolved by the Federal Courts (circa..Summer 1911), and the "smoke had finally cleared", ATC had retained SWEET CAPORAL production. Therefore, all this "overprinting" of 109 -T206 subjects was really unnecessary. Listed below are the 109 subjects that were overprinted. Check-out the Federal Court's decree break-down (circa 1911)...... American Tobacco Company divestiture Liggett & Myers was given about 28 % of the cigarette market: Piedmont Fatima American Beauty Home Run Imperiales Coupon King Bee Fatima....only 15 Turkish blends and the cheap straight domestic brands. P. Lorillard received 15 % of the nation's business: Helmar Egyptian Deities Turkish Trophies Murad Mogul and all straight Turkish brands American Tobacco retained 37 % of the market: Sweet Caporal Hassan Mecca Pall Mall....its expensive all-Turkish brand, named for a fashionable London street in the 18th century where "pall-mall" (a precursor to croquet) was played. R. J. Reynolds received no cigarette line but was awarded 20 % of the plug trade.

Regional source of the Elite 11 cards......
* * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference....Reflections, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * *
We have been on vacation visiting our Daughter and Grandson in Maine. I just noticed Turner's thread.... Georgia Find: 878 T205's and T206's. Thanks, Turner for posting this thread and all those great images. This is a significant find. It's the 4th discovery in the surrounding area of Atlanta of an original collection of T206's that include the rare T206's that we refer to as the Elite 11 cards. Approx. 9 years ago, I acquired a lot of T206's from an Antique dealer in Atlanta. All these cards were from an original collection in a town nearby Atlanta. This collection was strictly PIEDMONT cards; and, I was pleasantly surprised to find 8 of the Elite 11 cards in this group. Very recently, another original collection of T206's (all PIEDMONT's) was discovered in the Atlanta area. And, this collection included 7 of the Elite 11 cards. I have been tracking these rare T206's since 2006, refer to this thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=87180 for more info. It appears that Factory #25 shipped PIEDMONT cigarette packs (containing 1st print run PIEDMONT 350 cards) to Georgia. I say this because some Joe Doyle Nat'l cards have been found in T206 collections originating in Georgia. The best example being Senator Richard Russell's original T206 collection. It is the first known source of the Elite 11 cards. This set also includes the Joe Doyle Nat'l card. Russell lived in Winder, Georgia (not far from Atlanta), and he collected Tobacco cards as a teenager during 1909 - 1910. Elite 11....plus Lundgren Although Lundgren (Cubs) was not printed with HINDU, SOVEREIGN, nor SWEET CAPORAL....this card is very similar to the ELITE 11 with respect to the initial 350 press runs of PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG backs. Therefore, I have included Lundgren in with this group. Note The Schulte card has not yet been found with an EPDG back. Hey guys, I'm open to hearing of any other regions in the country where these Elite 11 cards have been discovered. Please chime in with your information. TED Z . |

PSA has a special section in their pop reports for no prints that include the SC350-460/30's. I sent David an email several months ago about three that were missing from the list which are Conroy (With Bat), Lake (No Ball) and Leach (Bending Over) but I never heard back from him. The next time you speak to him can you ask him to have them update this list for accuracy to include these three and the Lajoie that he has. https://www.psacard.com/pop/t206/?by...f=0#NoPrintPop img340 - Copy.jpg Conroy (bat) Group.jpgConroy (bat) Back Group.jpg Lake (no ball) Group_.jpgLake (no ball) Back Group_.jpg Leach [1].jpgLeach Back [1].jpg |

Here is a front/back scan of the Lajoie Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory 30 "No Print". I personally own this card along with the other 27 "No Print" cards. This 28 card "No Print" set follows Ted's "Group B" list exactly!!!
