Johnny, I think the T206 scrap collectors DO realize the "importance" of these, but I think getting other card collectors to feel the same way is not only going to be difficult, but I don't think you and the other scrap collectors should really want that.

The 'problem' (from your point of view, not mine) is that the T206 issue is the only one where print scraps are considered worth multi-thousands of dollars. And that value is placed by you guys, by bidding against each other. The rest of the collecting world respects the market values that you are establishing and will certainly pay high prices if they think they can re-sell them to you later for a profit, but as far as "importance"…not so much.

Turner
 

Really rare and a great card......thanks for posting it.

Scott.....
 

as the collectors become more advanced and understand the set more , they will become to appreciate these more and desire them more....hence values/ prices will sore....sorry to disappoint you....you should have held onto your scrap ....you literally lost tens of thousands, could see why your a little turned from T206 scrap:D


I would be to if I let go all my scraps that wound up being 10-15 times what I sold them for!:eek:

THANK GOD I HAVEN'T SOLD MINE:D

I wasn't saying the collectors don't understand in a "bad" way, they just haven't been educated on them yet....we are still discovering more everyday about the production through these gems and clues......with out them, we can't truly understand the set the way we have....:)


how many t206 collectors realize that ames hand over head is not available factory issued with that back??? probably not a lot, until they reference the

the possible back combo's and see they are possible(unless you include the 6 superprints).....ON t206resource.com

scott, your just jealous cause you lost out big time when you dumped your awesome scrap back in the day....:D....AND TOOK A BATH I'M SURE....I still wish I grabbed some more....ROB is happy;)


don't hate....

you dumped that overprint downey that I couldn't even try to afford!!

btw....I haven't bid on any cards in a long time ......funds have been tight...

so , I personally know the "thin" scrap market you talk about a few guys running up the prices has expanded through education....



I respect your ground breaking research on the matter, and do respect you, but can't help to set you straight sir..


yes my friend, you must be kicking your self for letting an 8k card go for a song back in the day, or any of the others.....

and now you must hate:)


embrace that collectors are truly starting to appreciate these gems.....:)

and...

btw...
to burst your bubble, most sets or issues aren't even close to as popular as the T206 set...

:D



just a matter of time...

c'mon scott.....

in addition.....
 

I have to say, was not fair of me to "rub salt" in your face, Scott...:o...we have all regretted letting some cool cards go, and that wasn't right...:o
didn't want to seem like I was gloating in your loss..


was a low blow....I do not mean to kick a man when down....:o

was not right of me....

the scrap will speak for itself:)

It's funny that you still aren't willing to give up on that line of thinking and you try it again each time I question the prices being paid for your beloved printer scraps. I sold all of mine at a profit, and used the profit to buy other things, which I again sold at a profit - I'm probably still earning money off of the scraps I sold ten years ago.

Sounds like the regret is on your end, but I won't try to guess what's hurting you so bad other than possibly the inability to obtain all these wonderful cards you keep gloating over? ;)

Just try using logic to explain your thinking - it works better than the proverbial straw man :rolleyes:

Scott....
 

you said it right "beloved" scrap......most of the scrap "chasers" I know have been tapped! you can ask them yourself....most of the "players" have stepped aside to let others have at them.(scrap)..

I'm sure you have made some profit, but try to buy downey back:)...or some others....with these one- of- a- kinds, sometimes money just won't do it:)

there is a whole new arena of collectors entering the scene who have caught on.......and now desire these true gems...



they will continue to catch on.....

it's kinda of "bitter sweet" for me....

the cards are finally starting to get the recognition they truly deserve

although out of my reach...

not bitter, but happy now I have an incredible collection....regardless of value, I love them!! anyone who truly knows me, knows this is the truth......

am I a crusader?? possibly.....:confused:

some call me the "Grand daddy of scrap" "scrap master"....a true "pioneer"...

I know one thing.....card board gold:)


you might have made profit , but can't bring those back to you...


who is the bitter one??:rolleyes:

Very well-said Johny.


Uh-oh, there you go again. So are you jealous over my having had cards at one time that you now love? Or is it something else? If it helps you any, I've probably only owned about 15 scraps, but I've owned literally thousands of other cards, as well as thousands of other pieces of sports memorabilia. Am I "bitter" over those items as well? Please give me a list of all of the cards I have owned that I am now bitter over. It doesn't matter much to me, but it might prove to be therapeutic for you. P.S. - stay away from sharp objects while you are creating the list.

Face it Scott.....
 

you know those are the ones you truly miss;):D............

thousands of pieces and only a few scraps??? puts it in perspective:D....

It really does. I bought a single example of each scrap type, for use in writing an article, while I bought multiple example of other items that I had more of an interest in. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed my collection of scraps while I had them.

If it makes you feel any better, I can list for you all of the items that I miss, in order. My T206 Jacklitsch proof would make the list, as would my T205 Reulbach scrap and my T206 Reulbach brown Hindu ledger page. Probably also one of the BL460's. Does that help any? Probably odd to you, but my miscut backs didn't do much for me other than earn a good profit when sold. I did like the upside-down Piedmont that was perfectly upside-down, but quite frankly - it looked like a normal card from either side :)

The item I miss most out of anything I ever sold was my 1909 Pittsburg team supplement that once hung in Wagner's office.

sorry 'bout that:o

this one's for you ;)

Hi Turner
 

American Lithographic ran thru final press runs of SWEET CAPORAL 460 (Factory #30) cards from the 350/460 series (of which your unique Ames is in). However,
the 57 subjects in this series were never issued with Factory #30 backs.

Circa late 1910 (or early 1911), in anticipation of the ATC divestiture, these SWEET CAP cards were overprinted with Factory #42 (Durham, NC) and shipped there
to be inserted in SWEET CAP cigarette packs.

Here is a Factory #42 overprint which is sufficiently off-set that it reveals the original Factory #30 lettering.

This Keeler portrait has a pair of parallel horizontal parallel creases running through the top of his hair. I've never seen another example.

The combination itself is not so exciting I suppose, but this card was once owned by former MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn.

If I understand correctly, when Kuhn was a child he used to work the scoreboard for the Washington Senators, which was owned by Clark Griffith, and he was given the card as a gift at the time and kept it until he passed away.

Neat-O.

Hi Frank
 

A really great looking Ty Cobb card. There are less than 8 of them with the American Beauty 460 back.

Also, it appears that your Newt Randall card is unique with the Broad Leaf 350 back. I cannot find another one in any of the TPG's pop reports.


Best regards, my friend.

T206-13
 

Here's my contribution to this thread : Carton & T206-13 card

T206-13
 

Whoops... Here's another one more rare than Doyle...

Hi Jeremy
 

Thanks for posting the COUPON Cigarettes carton.

I think that carton is circa 1914....and, maybe associated with T213-2 (or T213-3) cards.

The carton that I saw years ago was very similar to yours; however the brand name was labelled " COUPON " ....which implies circa 1910.
And, I don't recall the Liggett & Myers lettering.


Take care, good buddy.


TED Z
.

Thanks Ted - . I would love to see the "Coupon" carton that you mentioned. In reading your reply, I am not sure what differentiates my carton and the one one you are talking about... (I have no real opinion either way and certainly not sure of the time frame of this Carton I own, but know its pretty old) Perhaps, the 1910 Carton says... "Coupon Mild" and mine says Coupon Cigarettes??

Jeremy
 

I think the tell-tale clue here is the Liggett & Myers label.

I think that L & M manufactured the COUPON brand after ATC's divestiture (circa 1911- 1912).

The 1910 COUPON was strictly an ATC brand.

I will search for a pix of the " COUPON " Cigarettes carton.


TED Z

Jeremy............
 

beauty of an Ellam:eek:

lmk if you ever want to trade:D

Ted - That makes some sense. I will take this to email with you, so this thread doesn't get too sidetracked... Is Liggett & Myers on the reverse of any other brands besides 1914 Victory tobacco cards ?

Jeremy
 

The break-up of the American Tobacco Co. (May 1911) resulted in the re-assignment of the following brands............


Liggett & Myers was given these cigarette brands:

Piedmont
Fatima
American Beauty
Home Run
Imperiales
Coupon
King Bee
Fatima


P. Lorillard was given these cigarette brands:

Helmar
Egyptian Deities
Turkish Trophies
Murad
Mogul
and,
all straight Turkish brands


American Tobacco Co. retained these cigarette brands:

Pall Mall (its expensive all-Turkish brand, named for a fashionable London street)
Sweet Caporal
Hassan
Mecca

Hi Tony
 

I really appreciate the compliment.

I think I have shared most of my T206 knowledge with everyone on this forum since April 2005.

Should I go back 10 years and review all my posts regarding T206's in order to compile a book......perhaps so.

However, I enjoy the free association of thought that we all enjoy on Net54 every day; and, I find that more meaningful.


Take care,

One of a kind DRUM......
 

.........30 years ago, I acquired my first T206 DRUM card from Barry Sloate.....this Danny Moeller card.

Then, 7 years ago I helped Barry Arnold with his T206 backs sub-set when I sent him this unique T206.

I don't know of another Moeller/DRUM card. Checking out the pop reports of PSA and SGC, you will find
only this one (SGC A).

If anyone on this forum knows of another one, please chime in.

It makes you wonder exactly how many Drum cards were distributed? Don't you wish someone would stumble across some sort of ATC receipt/printing order? Even for just one back type, it would be incredible to know XXX many cards were produced and now 100+ years later, XXX many cards remain...

$5?
