Delehanty with AB-BL-CY-DRUM backs....show us yours ?

[Archive]

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Next to Chase (blue) and Johnson (portrait), Frank Delehanty is my favorite T206 picture.
Illustrated here is empirical evidence of my A-B-C-D theory. Fortunately, I do not have to
search for Delehanty with the COUPON brand, since he was not printed the T213-1 set.

I've quite a few more T206 Subjects with American Beauty 350, Broad Leaf 350, Cycle 350
backs....but, no DRUM's to go with them. Delehanty is my first one to "touch all the bases".

Call this an obsession, or just a new challenge in trying to better understand "The Monster",
by finding their corresponding DRUM's.






Hey Net54ers, show us your 350-series T206's with any combination, or all 4 of the A-B-C-D backs ?

The Monster will "haunt" you....although, you have achieved your 520 card set....you will still keep collecting T206's in some form,
or another. So, perhaps you might consider some interesting back combinations.

The Monster is like the Hotel California......"you can check-in anytime, but you can never check-out".

The easy halves of a couple of them - any help in completing the other halves would be great!

When I typed the lyrics, they didn't quite sound correct.

no worries about my going anywhere, Ted;
remember that i have a T206 room in the house,
much better than any ole hotel california which refers to the year 1969--
way past the beloved era of 1909-1911!!!
all the best, friend

Here is the closest I have to getting all four backs.

Your Maddox and Miller have been confirmed with Broad Leaf 350 and DRUM backs. Give it a try, guy. It's a real challenge,
but a very satisfying one when you acquire all 4 backs.

Thanks for your inputs and best regards,

There is a very good likelihood that your Graham was printed with a DRUM back. The pattern
is there that favors this possibility. You'll appreciate this....since you are an avid collector of
the American Beauty backs.....my theory is that the first key to predicting a Drum back on a
T206 Subject is that it exists with an American Beauty 350 back.

Thanks, Ted

I'm looking forward to the the ultimate goal on this sequence. One question for you - in all your Drum lists, I've never seen Miller included - has that one been confirmed?

I've not chimed in on any of your surveys before (nothing to add), but always find them very helpful and very interesting - keep up the great work!

another reason T213(-1) should not be classified as T206....

Hi Leon....

"Another reason T213 (-1) should not be classified as T206...."

Not... They may or not be "T206's", but this isn't a reason either way.
The only "Minor League" players in the T213-1 set are from Southern League... And Delehanty played for Louisville...

Nice try. Be well Brian

With all due respect, I don't think you are going to win this argument with BRIAN W. He really knows
his stuff when it comes to Louisana-based Tobacco cards....COUPON brand (T213-1) or the PEOPLES
TOBACCO CO., Ltd. (T216).

After having a "heavy" discussion with John Scott regarding the T213-1 issue, I am 75-90% convinced
that this is a T206 issue (perhaps the 16th brand). And as John suggested it falls under the ASSORTED
category.

One of my several A-B-C combinations waiting for a DRUM to complete the connection.





If anyone can offer a Grimshaw with a DRUM back, I would really appreciate it. I 'm not looking
for a sharp one. A less than Vg-Ex will suffice.....Graded or Ungraded.

Thanks,

Hi Ted,
I don't think you will find a Drum to complete your "4 pack"... Because I don't think it exist. Be well Brian

Hey BRIAN

If not Grimshaw, then how about a "4-pack" on this Tannehill ?

Hey guy....your a "kiljoy"....

It's too late for this old dude to continue playing this silly game tonight.

But, tomorrow I'll hit you with a few more A-B-C Subjects that I bet you will produce a DRUM.

Good night ole Buddy.

Cool.... But you have more energy than me....


See you in the am. Be well Brian


PS You need to pay a little more attention to Carolina Brights....

BRIAN

Those gems are your specialty. I don't go treading on your territory.

Anyhow, I have a question for you regarding Demmitt (NY). Here is a Subject that is found with only a very few backs.....

PIEDMONT 350
SWEET CAP. 350/30
EPDG
CAROLINA BRIGHTS

How did he get printed with CAROLINA BRIGHTS ?

Almost all other Subjects with CAROLINA BRIGHTS backs are found with a numerous variety of 350 Series backs.

Here is one tough T206 with any back, other than a Piedmont 350.....do you agree ?

Also, note the difference in the sunset between each of these three cards.

And, do you agree that a DRUM is in my future on Campbell ?

The sunset differences between these three cards reminds me somewhat of the discussion we
had several years ago regarding the sky-cloud effect of the various Claude Ritchey T206 cards.

This Chase (blue) is my favorite T206....probably since it was the 1st T206 I acquired a long time ago.

A DRUM must exist on this Chase to complete the A-B-C-D connection. The other 5 super-prints have
all been confirmed with DRUM backs. Therefore, I am confident that I will eventually find this DRUM.

Why of course, the discussion regarding the sky-cloud effect of the various Claude Ritchey cards was covered (along with a myriad
number of T206 aspects) in your famous, and ground-breaking, EPDG thread.
