The first pre-war card I ever owned was a T205 Jimmy Dygert, purchased for $2 at a flea market in Hartville, Ohio, in 1976 when I was 13 years old. I've been wanting to pick up a decent example for quite some time.

Thanks to Scott on the B/S/T.

Just picked this one up. Love the unique border on this one. Is it possible this was at the top of the sheet when cut at the factory?

Tony,

I would think that Tinker had to be the top card in the column. If it wasn't, it should have a name at the top.

Either way, nice card!


Steve

Ketchel finishes my E77 American Caramel Set .............




............ after failing (falling short) at some baseball caramels, this is quite a nice feeling (maybe, maybe, comparable to completing an E102 set) .....

If interested, lower grade, but nice overall consistency:

......... and, according to Adam W.'s book, I still have three more border variations to go !!!!!!!!!! ????????????

Thanks Rob



I am sure that a few of you will come up with some better examples, but possibly the most obscure/low-level minor-league team ever depicted on tobacco issue.

Tony, that looks like an E90-1 card! No wonder you bought it!

Jeff -
Come to think of it, it does resemble a cut a card would have from the E90-1 set, doesn't it.
No wonder I was drawn to it.

W573 Babe Ruth, the cut side-to-side is factory, about 40-50% of all W573's are short on the right side.

Paul,

Yep, spending $2 on a T205 in 1976 was seriously overpaying, I suppose. I was blinded by the fact it was over 60 years old! (And it was a beauty!)

(Edited to add that I also probably spent $20 on beer cans at the flea market that day. What a mess.)

Leon- That Yantz card with the orange border is super! Since I didn't see it on ebay I am taking it that is an off-line purchase or perhaps a trade. Nice!

I know it's not vintage, but this was awefully tough to find.



It predates his "rookie" card by two years.

I swore off the T206 ten years ago, because I could only afford to buy one per year. I'm now 31, have a couple more dollars in my pocket and, thanks to you all, have become hooked again this year.
I got so excited when these came in the mail at work, I went for a smoke and drove around so I could look at them without people thinking I was crazy. I love the green in on the American Beauty and Sov's.
Thanks to all of you (and Mike at cardtarget) for helping fuel the addiction with the limitless knowledge here on the board!

I just won these... although I just bought a PSA 5 Ward last week, so this Ward will end up on ebay probably!

Picked this up in the latest Clean Sweep Auction. Just 13 short now of the full set of 100 - though I always am trying to upgrade!

Thought it would be cool to acquire a group of wet sheet transfer's showing the T206 backs.
Two down, many more to go. Anyone have a Sweet Caporal or Sovereign available??

Lost out on the Grand Studio Brewers lot on Mastro and poof!, the 2 sets I still need fall in my lap. Talk about a long shot as these are the only two sets I've ever come across. I've scanned them on my website...

You guys are missing the "rapier sharp" sense of humor shown by msnyc and ockday.

The cards you both showed are red Cobbs, regular Tolstoi's. Michael was commenting on the very special, Cobb, "Red Tolstoi".

Sentence structure humor is a lost art.
