At that Philly Show there was a guy who resembled you, and I did sell the red HINDU Pfeffer to him.
Excuse me, I had a "senior moment" :) Look forward to seeing you and talkin' T206's again next month at the Philly Show. TED Z . |
No worries! I have been mistaken for others before! Catch up soon.

You sold me the Pfeffer Ted. Still love it

Hey Jay
Don't mind me, at my age, you can expect a miscue (or two) :) TED Z |

These cards were from an original collection in a town nearby Atlanta. This collection was strictly PIEDMONT cards; and, I was pleasantly surprised to find 7 of the "Elite 11" cards in this group. Subsequently, another original collection of T206's was discovered in the Atlanta area by a friend of mine. And, this collection also included the "Elite 11" cards (6 or 7 of them). And very recently, Turner reported of another T206 find consisting of the "Elite 11" cards. This marks the 4th discovery in the surrounding area of Atlanta of an original collection of T206's that included these very rare PIEDMONT 350 cards. Elite 11....plus Lundgren http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...indaman12x.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Schulte25x.jpg Initially, I was fascinated by the Lundgren (Cubs) card which I discovered with a seldom seen PIEDMONT 350 back. I have been tracking these rare T206's since 2006. In the process of putting together a PIEDMONT-only set, I discovered some more rare PIEDMONT 350 cards and this led me to post this thread.... check-it-out http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=87180 for more info. on the "Elite 11". It appears that Factory #25 shipped PIEDMONT cigarette packs containing 1st print run PIEDMONT 350 cards to Georgia. I say this because some Joe Doyle Nat'l cards have also been discovered in T206 collections originating in the nearby area of Atlanta, Georgia. The best example of this being Senator Richard Russell's original T206 collection. It's the first known source of the "Elite 11" cards. His set includes the Joe Doyle Nat'l card. Russell grew up in Winder, Georgia (nearby Atlanta). He collected Tobacco cards as a teenager during 1909 - 1910. Note Although Lundgren was not printed with HINDU, SOVEREIGN, nor SWEET CAPORAL, this card is very similar to the "Elite 11" with respect to the initial 350 press runs of PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG backs. Therefore, I have included Lundgren in with this group. Hey guys, I'm not the only guy on this forum who's been fortunate to acquire T206 "finds"....so, how's about sharing your "finds" with the rest of us. TED Z . |
Would love to hear about some finds!

Sweet Caporal .... Sovereign .......... Piedmont____The "House" that created these Tobacco cards__American Beauty ... Sovereign .......... UZIT 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, it was "the start of of a beautiful friendship" (to quote Claude Raines to 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. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________________________________ INDEX Post #1......Introduction....plus Scot Reader's " Inside T206 " book, and 3 significant T206 threads (circa..2006) for starters.

T206 Reference....Reflections, etc..... A Tale of Two Unique UZIT cards' "finds"
* * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * *
http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...raphicbldg.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ogSGC45x25.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...loveUZITbk.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...GloveUZITx.jpg 1st Tale...... My old-time friend, Ralph, discovered the Herzog UZIT in a collection he acquired (circa 1990's) in his hometown in the Great Smoky Mountain area of North Carolina. He knew what kind of a "nut" I am about T206's with scarce backs, so we did a nice trade. But, he did not know how scarce this Herzog card was, until I subsequently informed him that it was the only known Herzog with a UZIT back. So we arrived at an additional cash amount (to him) to complete the deal. As of this date, this card remains unique. 2nd Tale...… About two years ago, I acquired a T206 collection from an long-time collector who attended Philly area shows (circa 1970's). He had acquired a small T206 collection at the Philly Show which included this McGraw / UZIT card. The McGraw (glove) card is in the "Exclusive 12" group of the 460-only series. So far, only 5 of these 12 subjects have been found with the UZIT back. And each one of these 5 subjects are unique T206 UZIT cards. This front / back combo is extremely scarce with the Exclusive 12 group. T206's with the UZIT back were issued in the Spring of 1911. The UZIT and AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 cards were printed together at the tail-end of the T206 press runs. It's my opinion that the UZIT back is 2nd to the BROAD LEAF 460 in terms of scarcity (normally printed T206 T-brands). 58 subjects with the UZIT back have been confirmed to date (Sept 7, 2018). 350/460 series...............................28 subjects Berger Bradley (bat) Burch (fielding) Cobb (bat off shoulder) Conroy (bat) Crawford (bat) Jennings (one hand) Jennings (two hands) Jordan (bat) Lajoie (bat) Lake (no ball-St Louis) Leach (cap) Leifield (bat) Manning (pitching) McQuillan (bat) Mullin (bat) Overall (yellow sky) Pelty (vertical) Pfeister (throwing) F. Smith (Chicago & Boston) Steinfeldt (bat) Tinker (bat off) Wagner (bat on right shoulder) Doc White (pitching) Wilhelm (bat) Willetts Willis (bat) Wiltse (pitching) I am 100% confident that the above list of 28 of the 350/460 subjects is complete (as it coincides with the confirmed list of AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 subjects for the 350/460 series). 460-only series..............................30 subjects Abbaticchio (blue sleeves) Ball (Cleveland) Bell (follow thru) Bridwell (portrait-cap) Howie Camnitz (arms up) Harry Camnitz (arms side) Chance (bat) Chase (trophy) Crandall (portrait-cap) ** Frill Geyer ** Herzog (Boston) Hummel ** Lake (ball-St Louis) Latham Marquard (follow thru) McGraw (portrait-cap) McGraw (glove at hip) ** Merkle (throwing) Murray (portrait) Oldring (bat) Overall (blue sky) Schaefer (Washington) Schlei (portrait) Schlei (bat) Schulte (back view) Seymour (portrait) Sheckard (glove) ** Tinker (bat on) Wiltse (portrait-cap) ** Exclusive 12 The 460-only series list is still a work in progress....I expect that as many as 16 more UZIT cards from this series will eventually be discovered.
