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

I sold this card to David Hall several Chicago National Shows ago. So now you'll find this Jennings listed in the PSA pop report as a 5 (David
had it re-graded). And, this same card is still listed in the SGC pop report as a 60 (I had it graded when SGC was in New Jersey, circa 2010).

FYI Ted there are a minimum of five Jennings, there are two different PSA 2's
one was graded years ago before they started putting the backs on the
flips. There's also a 2nd SGC 60.

The SGC card of Jennings you have displayed is the exactly same one I originally had. This is obvious by the same "diamond cut" on all of three
of these cards on display. Furthermore, it's obvious that it has gone thru a 4th iteration of SGC Grading.

When I acquired it was Graded by SGC as an "A"......

. .

-----------------------

I cracked open the "A" version (card on left) and re-submitted it to SGC (about 10 years ago). Which resulted in the "60" Grade version.

You can trace the progress of these iterative Gradings by simply observing the Serial #s on their flips. Obviously, there was an intermittent
Grading of this card from the one you have displayed, in which it received an "A" grade.

As I have said, I acquired this card with its "A" Grade. I paid a very reasonable price for it (I guess because of this Grade).

I will reprise what I stated (in post #1088)....years ago when I acquired this AB 460 Jennings card, it was the only one known at that time.

Ted the SGC 60 you posted is definitely not the same card as the SGC 60 I posted.

I'm the current owner of the Ted / David Jennings, and I agree its a different card than the SGC60 Pat posted.

Congratulations Jeff....for winning my AB 460 Jennings.

I will reiterate.....when I originally acquired this card years ago, it was unique.

[/B]This thread will provide references to major contributions posted on Net54 these past 14 years that have formed a better understanding of "The Monster" [as Bill Heitman
so aptly coined his T206 book (circa 1980)].

Let's start with the 2005-2006 publication of Scot Reader's Inside T206
An excellent, very informative, and well written book that inspired many of us Net54ers to post our experiences and theory's regarding the complexities of the T206 series.

One of the early and very significant T206 threads was posted in June 2006 by Barry Arnold, titled T206 EPDG- - - how rare in your collection ?
This thread sparked lots of brainstorming among Net54ers regarding T206's. It included surveys; and, various aspects of the T206 series were explored.....resulting in 363
meaningful posts. Furthermore, between many of us Net54ers, this thread was...."the beginning of a beautiful friendship" (to quote Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca).

In the Summer of 2006, Bill Brown posted his T206 Super-Set (excel) spreadsheet. Bill received 1000's of inputs from Net54ers for this spreadsheet. It was a great start
in the pursuit of what a T206 "master" set would be comprised of....T206 Super-Set

Sept 2007, I started a thread titled Joe Doyle NAT'L and it's 11 "cousins"....SURVEY to explore certain PIEDMONT 350 cards that I considered as rare as the Joe Doyle
"error" card. I eventually referred to these particular T206's as the Elite 11


Subsequent posts in this thread will expand on theory's regarding the structure of the T206 series and the front/back permutations that have resulted. A fair number of the
theory's presented on Net54 (since 2006) have withstood the test of time. Providing accurate lists of which front/back combos were printed. And, which ones are No-Prints.

So, stay tuned......many more T206 "oldies but goodies" References and Reflections will be posted here.

And, feel free to contribute any meaningful T206 stories, or experiences collecting T206's that you have.

In this thread, I've tried to present some very complex aspects of the Series structure of the T206 set in a style which is understandable to most of the T206 collectors.
However, if not clear, don't be shy about asking questions. Post your questions on this thread. Or, email me directly with your questions.... tedzan11@comcast.net
In either event, I will gladly do my best to provide you clear and meaningful answer(s).

Two really great cards, thanks for posting them.


I'll continue playing this game by posting a Blank Back and a Blank Front (caption).

Unless some one proves otherwise, I think this Mullaney and No Name Ryan are unique.....

OK, continuing playing this game of "Unique Antique" cards, here's my 1910 COUPON Matty McIntyre.

This card is the only one listed in the PSA pop report. The last time I looked at the SGC pop report on
these COUPON cards there were no Matty McIntyre's listed.

Perhaps, Rob McK. will chime in, since he has a near complete set of these rare gems.
