Ted, I am at fault here for getting baited in by your underhanded comments.
You used to do the same thing to Tim Cathey but he was always respectful and classy with his responses I wish I could handle it the same way but admittedly I can't. Tim was an asset to this forum and it's a shame he is no longer active here. For anyone that is new to the forum in the past few years and interested in the T206 set Tim has a great knowledge about the set that he shared in his posts and I suggest you check some of them out using his profile. http://www.net54baseball.com/member.php?u=193#stats |

Just a crazy thought I had, but if say Coupon and Red Cross cards been printed with gold borders like T205 cards would the brown captions be easier to place as T206 cards or would their hypothetical gold border cards also be excluded from the T205 set?
And yes I know that no such gold bordered cards exist with coupon and red cross backs. I just think that part of the reason for those two sets being separated in part has to do with the exclusion from the T205 set. I also think that T213, T214, and T215 should have been just simply one set named something like the blue caption set, but that may just be me over simplifying things. |

Come on Pat, this is quite laughable: "getting baited in by your underhanded comments." I have never, ever INITIATED negative comments against you. That's not my style. Yes, I may have responded with some remarks, and only because you have numerous times on this forum called me a liar. But, so did your two "buddies" Rivera and Cathey. For years these two guys were very appreciative of my research into the T206 set. They would regularly pick my brain regarding T206's. Hey, I could bring up many Net54 posts dating back to 2006 as evidence of this. And then, suddenly, in 2012 they turned on me. I was especially disappointed in Jim Rivera. For many years I sold (or traded) him many, many rare back T206's at the Philly Show. When I got BROAD LEAF's, EPDG's, HINDU's, LENOX, etc., I'd save them for him. Jim thought he would give it a try being a dealer at the Philly Show, so I gladly allowed him to share my booth (circa 2009-2010). I would advertise "the Jim & Ted team" set-up at Booth #408. We had fun "Talkin T206's" for hours at the Show. I met his family and he met my wife. I recall one time when a "walk-in" brought us a bunch of T206's. I started sorting them out according to the Series they were in. One card in this lot was a PIEDMONT42 Wiltse (cap). I quickly recognized it as one of only 9 subjects known in the 460-only series....Jim was really impressed. Oh well, Jim unfortunately showed me how "appreciative" he was ! ! So, that's the story Pat. I could tell you much more, but I don't think you want to hear it. Nor do the most of the members of this forum. Good bye. TED Z T206 Reference . |

uninformed and misleading people. The uniformed and misleading information you referred to was based on your opinion not a fact so your comments were absolutely negative. I have been posting on here for 8+ years and we have had many heated arguments but I have never called you a liar. And to be clear I'm not calling you a liar now either I'm merely saying you're wrong. I'm sure there are several people saying here we go again but I think I have the right to defend myself when you say I called you a liar several times when it never happened not once. Now I ask you something you ask me all the time show me proof. Show me where I made a negative comment towards you prior to post #68 and show me a post of mine where I called you a liar. I expect silence when you can't come up with proof but I think owe you it to me to respond when you accuse me of calling you a liar. |

Sorry guys....bringing up all this past history.
Hey guys,
I could post a number of occasions where Pat R. has responded to a theory (or statement) of mine regarding T206's where he has in effect said I was lying (or misleading). I'll only post here what I consider Pat's most egregious example questioning of my character and my dedication to inform the hobby of the complexities of the T206 set. Excerpted from thread dated 12/3/2016..... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=220948&page=7 Quote:

I will conclude this with the following......I do not understand what is Pat's problem concerning me. There have been some instances where he has posted on my threads with some really meaningful stuff. But then there are times where he has impulsively been negative. And this has caused my thread to get side-tracked (as has occurred in this thread). TED Z T206 Reference . |

What is the definition of a t206? Do we have a consensus? I always took the definition to mean a card issued by the ATC and distributed in/with packs of cigarettes between 1909-1911. Is there another definition out there?
If not, and if Coupons were produced in 1910 by the ATC, then by definition they should be t206s. I think the inclusion of Byrne, Mowrey and Rossman in the Coupon set indicates they were printed before Ted's ABCD grouping (AB, BL, Cylcle, Drum), since all three are ABCD no prints. This indicates Coupons were produced before the bulk of the 350 series. This excerpt is from Byrne, Mowrey and Rossman have been confirmed to date with a very limited number of 350 series backs that includes only Piedmont 350, Sovereign 350, Sweet Caporal 350/25, Sweet Caporal 350/30 and, in the case of Byrne and Mowrey, Tolstoi. The apparent unavailability of these subjects with a fuller complement of 350 series backs may be traceable to the depiction of these three players with teams from which they were traded in August 1909, before distribution of the 350-only subject group began. Also note that Becker(1910), Campbell(1909), Charles (1909), Dubuc (1910), Engle (1910), Huggins (1910), McIntyre (1910), Paskert (1911), LaPorte (1911) and Starr (1909) were all traded to new teams during this time. Eleven more Coupon subjects were out of baseball by the time the t206 production had ended. I do believe most t206 followers would reasonably conclude that Coupons were produced during the t206 era. ATC made a strong effort to include the right player with the right team. If they produced this set in, say 1914... it'd be all out of whack. However, a few things Pat posted makes sense to me. The Coupons fit no other 350 pattern. I'm a math guy, and the patterns of the AB.350nf, BL.350, C.350 and D.350 make reasonable sense... The Coupon back does not (*see below, good luck trying to figure it out). Why? 48 random 350 subjects, of which 45 follow the ABCD pattern. Eleven also have a Carolina Brights card (including Billy Campbell, who was out of baseball by 1909). And, I asked this question earlier in this thread, but why doesn't the Coupon back include the "350 subjects"? As Mike, "Inside the West Coast Rapper", put it earlier, "it looks like a regional issue". Somebody may surmise that the ATC, circa 1909, decided to glue a few Coupons on the end of those 100+ cigarette cartons to distribute down south with a couple of Southern Leaguers to entice the locals to buy their new "Coupon" product. Maybe, it wasn't meant to be the full "350 subjects", but just a one off. Therefore, in conclusion your honor, if Coupons were printed in 1910, by the ATC, they should be a t206 by most definitions. Pat and Ted are t206 godfathers - their knowledge of the t206s will be passed down from generation to generation. We'll carve their names... ok, going a bit far, but I hate to see the rift between them. I have learned so much from both of them and appreciate their contributions to t206 history.
