T206 Reference / Reflections.....Tuesday Nite Trivia

[Sean]

Ted, about that Willis of yours that is missing color:what is the back? Mine is a Hindu, and they frequently seem to be much lighter.

Hi Joey

I really appreciate your complimentary words. I've learned a lot these past 40 years completing sets.....1887 Allen & Ginter > 1987 TOPPS (multiple sets of many of the major sets).
I believe in sharing information which I have gleaned from extensive research in such sets as the 1888 N162, the T205 & T206, the 1933 Goudey, the 1941 Play Ball, the 1949 Leaf,
and the 1948-1953 Bowman (BB & FB) sets. Oh, and I cannot forget 1952 Topps.

And, this forum is a great stage for the exchange of meaningful info regarding all aspects of this hobby.


Thanks again,

TED Z

Hi Sean

I'm familiar with the Red > Orange / brown HINDU phenomena. I've had some of these color error T206's in the past.

Anyhow, my color error Willis is a PIEDMONT 150 card. The normal Willis is a SOVEREIGN 150.


Thanks for posting your color errors.

Here's a color printing error not seen too often.

Hey guys,
How's about showing off some of your unusual T206's ?

Missing colors can be tough sometimes.

Beck is missing two colors, Huggins isn't, but is from a group I don't see often that always has the player looking very pale. Downey and Lobert are both faded.


Meyers with a really odd but factory cut. The result of either debris in the stack of cards being cut, or a sheet somewhere below it in the stack being folded over.


And a weird handcut but I don't think trimmed card. There must have been more in the group, but I didn't know enough at the time to find and buy them.

That Ewing card is what a trim would look like if I did it. I too think it's a hand cut and not a "trim"..

[tedzan]

Orange (instead of Red) 150-Series Chance (portrait) cards are often found with brown HINDU backs.
This one is a PIEDMONT card.
