Collins, Eddie - closed mouth w/yellow elephant Graham, George - Rustlers w/blue signature Hoffman, Danny - yellow 2nd base Miller, Dots - middle initial 'D' Miller, Dots - middle initial 'D' with partial 'B' Snodgrass, Fred - missing decimal point on .405 batting average White, Doc - no quotation marks on Doc Any others known out there? I suggest on all of these less recognized variations that Speckled EGGS be awarded (otherwise known as an asterisk). So for example, if you have three of the above variations, you would have three asterisks beside your total. The applicable saying could be as follows: You shouldn't put all your EGGS in the basket before they hatch" Brian |
I think you have a full list now

Not sure if you T205 fans have notice but CSG is now adding the back variation on T205s!!!!! I'm not sure what took so long... this should have been a no brainer from the very beginning.... shame on PSA ... This should be an automatic.

Well...overall I think this is fairly accurate although I would add a point to the following...
Grant (very tough card and popular due to military service) Wilhelm "suffe ed" (popular and tougher than people think) Suggs (very tough) Rowan (also very tough) Everything else seems in line with my research...my two cents. Joshua |

I think it's appropriate that there are EGGSactly a dozen with a value over 4

Will a random lot of common T205's in various condition now be referred to as scrambled eggs...or maybe an omelette? And what if a lot has Ty in it...a Cobb salad?
And will a seriously beat up T205 be a rotten egg? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |
Maybe the top tier T205's can be called hard boiled?

If someone snipes you in an auction on a card...I guess they poached you

I think I will add a little egg sticker with a number insert to my graded T205 cards

I think Cobb should be exempt from the quantity rule!

I have little to add but Grant is the only one that I could see moving up anymore.

Here is the final EGGS values for the set...thanks to all the input from everyone. I tried my best to synthesize all the info I received, and I am sure I slighted some while favoring others, including my own sensibilities. The final changes I made involved three cards (two up 1 point, Moran - stray line and Wallace - no cap, 1 line of stats, and one down 1 point, Fisher) that a collector provided after going thoroughly over the list. To maintain the 400 point total I had to drop one card by 1 point (Mathewson - Cycle incorrect stats). This collector also had six additional cards that he thought could be raised (Harmon - only one ear shows, Hoblitzell - name incorrect no Cin., Hoblitzell - name correct, no Cin., Karger, Kleinow, and Wagner. I just didn't feel I could subtract more points from others, and these were not noted by others that they should be raised, so they shall remain at their previous levels.
In a few days I will launch the new T205 EGGS thread, as has been done previously for the T206 (Monster) and E90-1 (Kraken) sets, and hope to see a bunch of folks participate in that thread as well. Thanks again, and below is the final EGGS list that will be included on that thread. Brian Cards with EGS value of 2: Adkins, Doc ML Baker, Frank Barger, Cy - partial B on cap Batch, Emil ML Bender, Chief Bresnahan, Roger - mouth closed Brown, Mordecai Cady, Hick ML Chance, Frank Chase, Hal - border on shirt Chase, Hal - no border on shirt Clarke, Fred Collins, Eddie - mouth closed Crandall, Otis - 'T' not crossed Daubert, Jake Donohue, Jiggs SP Dougherty, Patsy - red sock Dougherty, Patsy - white sock Duffy, Hugh Dunn, Jack ML Fisher, Ray SP Ford, Russ - white cap Frick, James ML Gray, Dolly - no stats Griffith, Clarke Hanford, Charles ML Harmon, Robert - only left ear shows Hoblitzell, Dick - name incorrect/no Cin. after 1908 Huggins, Miller Jennings, Hugh Karger, Ed SP Kleinow, Red SP Lee, Wyatt ML Leifield, Lefty - A.P.

Great job Brian, you're an asset to this community. Just don't sit on any walls...

Eggs adder upper.
I finished my excel version of The EGGS calculator tonight, based on the final tally.
The chase to 400 Eggs can begin! Email me for a copy. Mail to: My username at Comcast dot net. It’s incredibly easy to use and you’ll be able to promptly count your EGGS even if they haven’t hatched. :rolleyes: I’m going to hold off posting my score until the new thread starts but it’s pretty cool to see! |

To clarify, a great fall in esteem from folks (such as Phil and Brian and the rest of the Net54 community), due to a sour reception to the future thread. Brian |

Brian, thanks for doing this. T205 is such a great set, beautiful and more difficult than appears due to all of the short prints. |
