T206 Systematic Back Study #1 - American Beauty

[Archive]

Posted By: RayB

In reference to a topic discussed in another thread revolving around Back rarites and the value of the Back totals as a pct of total cards, I'll get the ball rolling with American Beauty Backs. (Alphabetical Order is as good as any).

Let's have Board members check in here with the following info:
AB Backs 350 Series w/Frame
AB Backs 350 Series wo/Frame
AB Backs 460 Series
Which Players
AB Backs (all) as a pct of total T206 cards held by collector.

I am not in the position to sort or catalog the responses and tally them due to time restrictions but hopefully a volunteer for this will surface. I am sure this systematic approach will yield some fascinating results and help us fine tune what we know about the set.

I'll go first.

AB Backs 350 Series w/Frame - My total 1.33% (3/225)
AB Backs 350 Series wo/Frame - 0% (0/225)
AB Backs 460 Series - 0% (0/225)
Which Players - Lattimore, Egan, Burke (all 350 Series w/Frame)
Pct of total - 1.33% (3/225)

I have one of each type of the American Beauty 350 Subject backs out of a total of 17 T206s. I purchased these because I like the thinner look of the American Beauty T206s.


Bresnahan (Batting) AB Back 350 Subjects with frame
Street (Catching) AB Back 350 Subjects without frame

CONGALTON COLUMBUS PORTRAIT AMER BEAUTY 350 FRAME

1/128

People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.

Mine are already entered on the Super Set, but here they are anyway. 11 out of 515 (approx. 2.136%).

350 - no frame: Jordan (Brooklyn, batting), Magee (batting)

350 - with frame: Knight (portrait), Knight (batting), Myers (fielding), Adkins, McGinley, McGinnity, White (Buffalo)

460 - Cobb (bat off shoulder), Steinfeldt (batting)

Likely dumb question (I've never thought about it before looking at this data): All of my 350 series AB backs are from factory 25, 2nd district VA. All of my 460 series AB backs are from factory 42, 4th district NC (and all have no frame). Are all 350 AB backs from VA and are all 460 AB backs from NC and frameless? Thanks.
