When is a T206 OLD MILL tougher than a red HINDU ? Let's see some tough OLD MILL's

[tedzan]

This title may sound contrary to the known ranking of T206 scarcity; however, there are certain T206 subjects in specific series (and/or groups) that do contradict
the established "pecking order" of T206 backs.
For example, consider the Exclusive 12 subjects (460-only series).....http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=163949.....in which their red HINDU cards
are more available than their OLD MILL cards. Trust me....the OLD MILL cards of these 12 guys are considerably tougher to find.

Furthermore, you've probably noticed that the OLD MILL cards in my Exclusive 12 runs are not too pretty. And that is because I'll settle for any condition OLD MILL
of these 12 subjects. Anyhow, here's my Crandall run. Need EPDG, TOLSTOI & UZIT to complete this run. Any help is greatly appreciated in finding these cards......

Hey you "gung ho" T206 dudes....let's see some tough OLD MILL cards (from the 150/350 or 350-only or 350/460 or 460-only series).

Hey Ted. To your point, I would like to show you my Merkle portrait/ Old Mill, but I've never been able to find one.

Hi Ted,

I don't have any of those pesky 460-only "Exclusive 12" Old Mills. I do have Mr. Kling, a tough 150/350 Old Mill I acquired back in the Dark Ages (2004) who seems to have a Net54 following these days.

I can testify. Quite a difficult card


I can't seem to find a Tenney Old Mill anywhere. That's a big toughie that seems to be almost as difficult as the Merkle portrait.

Hey Sean

So, what you are saying is that an OLD MILL / Merkle is even scarcer than the UZIT / Merkle ?

Very, very interesting....that really defies the "pecking order" of the T206 back scarcity.

Ted, I've seen three or four Uzits. I haven't seen a portrait/ Old Mill in the four years that I've been searching.

Hey Ted, PSA lists zero Merkle portrait Old Mills. SGC lists 10 throwing and 6 unidentified Merkles, but zero confirmed Old Mill portraits.

T206resource.com says that it's confirmed, but I've never found one. Is anyone sure that it exists?

[RCMcKenzie]

I feel like Ted and Gabrinus are the only people on here that are not afraid that I'm about to rip them off for $50. I'm a real estate guy, I don't really know cards. I've posted since the first full count board. I try to keep a low profile. It's just a hobby. I have some cool cards for this thread...T206 OM is rare...and cheap....I have a few OM...I'm having some health issues like i assume most of you are, but I'm not dead.

My OLD MILL list (started in 2006) has never shown Merkle (portrait) as confirmed......
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=125226&page=5

I'm skeptical of any other lists that claim Merkle (portrait) exists. Let's see if someone on this forum posts a scan of this card ?
