T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set survey....MISSION COMPLETE
 
In response to recent requests, I'm reprising the American Beauty 460 info I have gleaned from trying to complete this very tough
T206 sub-set.


<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/americanbeauty460b.jpg" alt="[linked image]">


There are 103 possible T206's that could've been printed with the American Beauty 460 back. However, there are always those tricky
NO-PRINTS that keep you guessing. After 4 years of searching for AB 460 cards, it appears to me that approximately 30 subjects are
NO-PRINTS. This of course is subject to revision, if additional AB 460's are found.

The AB 460 back has a Factory 42 (Durham, North Carolina) identification. These cards were issued near the end of the T206 produc-
tion run in early 1911. So, I thought it would be cool to collect this T206 sub-set.....and definitely challenging. Currently, I have 62 of
these cards, and still searching.


Listed here are the 67 confirmed AB 460 cards. The 350/460 Series subjects are listed first; and, the 460-only Series subjects follow.....

Thanks very much,

You may be interested in this....the same day (in another thread) when you asked about the AB 460 list,
a Net54 reader emailed me requesting the same.

Anyhow, are you tempted to try collecting the AB 460 cards ?

Best regards,

David R 10-27-2009 01:46 AM

Hey Ted,

I don't think I have the patience. I am collecting the HOFers and trying to get as many different backs as I can. I have the Duffy AB 460. The only other one I came close on was a McGraw glove SGC 10 on eBay earlier this year that I think you outbid me on. I am currently looking for an AB 350 frame HOFer.

Good luck on this subset -- it's tough.

David R

You are correct, I won that AB 460 card of McGraw. Of course, I did not know that I was bidding against you.

The "cryptic" bidders ID is one of ebay's features that ticks me off. I'd like to know who the other bidders are.

T206 American Beauty 460 sub-set survey......UPDATED
 
WOW....since I have reprised this survey, there have been 7 new inputs in a little over a day. However small that might
sound, one has to appreciate that 66 confirmed AB 460 cards stood for over 4 years; and, now we have 73 confirmed.

Eventually, I expect that 47 cards in the 460-only series will be confirmed....the one exception will be Kleinow (Boston).

However, I would be surprised if many more cards beyond the current 30 from the 350/460 series were to be confirmed.

T206 American Beauty 460 sub-set survey
 
Thanks to a Net54 reader of this thread, I have added 4 more cards to my AB 460 sub-set. Now, I have 66 cards,
and still searching.
My experience indicates that most of the tougher AB 460 cards are from the 350/460 series....e.g. Lajoie, Leach,
Wilhelm, Doc White, etc..
And, some of the tougher ones from the 460-only series are Duffy, Needham, Smith (Chi & Bos), Wheat, etc..


<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/abduflajleaneesmiwhewilwhi.jpg" alt="[linked image]">



OK, we have confirmed 73 cards with the AB 460 back. Now is not the time to surrender to the Monster....let's see
how many more of the remaining 30 subjects can be confirmed ?

T206 American Beauty 460 sub-set survey
 
Just a reminder....while these 6 super-prints can be found with as many as 24 different T206 backs....
they were NOT printed with the American Beauty 460 back.

Fair warning....if you find any one of these 6 with an AB 460 back....it is a FAKE !


<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/asov6superprints.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Now, you guys are making me sound like a "genius", when I said in my initial post here that......

" There are 103 possible T206's that could've been printed with the American Beauty 460 back. However,
there are always those tricky NO-PRINTS that keep you guessing. After 4 years of searching for AB 460

OK, we have confirmed 73 cards with the AB 460 back. So surprise-surprise, that does leave us with 30
cards.....and am I a genius ?......I say NO.
Just a lucky guess, or perhaps an educated guess. In any event, I think there are more AB 460 cards to
be discovered. So, let's see how many more of the remaining 30 subjects you guys can confirm ?

Hi Ted,

I was curious and maybe this has been covered but I have a Seymour throwing 350 no frame. Are there 350 and 460 versions with no frame. The only card I have ever had with 350 and 460 backs are the Manning pitching, I still own the 460 but don't remember if the 350 was framed or not.

Lee

1st......Re..Seymour (throwing) has not yet been confirmed with an AB 460.

2nd......Your Manning (pitching) would have been an AB 350 No Frame (NF).


Lee

To my knowledge there are only 20 of the 55 cards from the 350/460 series
that are found with both the AB 350NF and AB 460NF backs. I will list them
in a subsequent post.

As requested......

All T206's from the 350/460 series with American Beauty backs were printed without the stylized FRAME
that is found on the American Beauty (AB) cards in the 350-only series. Of the 55 cards in the 350/460
series, some are found with AB 350....some with AB 460....and, 18 subjects are confirmed with both the
AB 350 and AB 460 backs. Those 18 are listed here.


...................Fall/Winter 1910............................Spring 1911

Here are the 18 - T206's that have been confirmed with both of the No Frame American Beauty backs.

Burch (fielding)
Conroy (bat)
Crawford (bat)
Jennings (two hands)
Jordan (bat)
Lake (no ball)

T206 American Beauty 460 sub-set survey
 
One T206 guy with an American Beauty 350 (no frame) back, that you wont find with an American Beauty 460 back, is
Simon Nichols (with bat). Although, this card is classified as a 350-only subject, it was actually intended as a 350/460
candidate. My theory is.....that American Lithographic did not extend this card into the 460 series since Nichols retired
from the major leagues just prior to the release of the 460 series cards.

If someone here has an alternative explanation for this T206 front/back anomaly, please present it ?

A Net54 reader emailed me with a possible sighting of a CYoung (glove) with an AB 460 back. At this point, I cannot
accept it as a confirmed input until I see it, or a 2nd one is reported. This reminds me to introduce the following rule.

Subjects in the 350/460 series that have been confirmed with Red HINDU backs are NOT found with AB 460 backs......
these 2 backs are mutually exclusive in this series of 55 cards (Note, there may be one or two exceptions to this rule).

T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 vs Red HINDU exclusivity
 
Therefore, if my above analysis is correct, we should expect to eventually find the following 5 cards with AMERICAN
BEAUTY 460 backs.....if we do not first find them with Red HINDU backs.

My experience shows that the AB 460 back is very underrated. It is much scarcer than most T206 collectors realize.
Further reinforcement of this fact is, that no AMERICAN BEAUTY (Factory 42) cigarette packs have been found.

350/460 series cards........

McIntyre (Brooklyn & Chi)
Murphy (bat)
Overall (yellow sky)

These 5 could possibly be No Prints. On the other hand, perhaps someone on Net54 (or a reader of Net54) may just
surprise us by reporting any one of these 5 with an AB 460 back ?

I too could be convinced if they were at least on the same kind of paper stock, which they aren't. They are 100% different than ANY other T206 stock. That, combined with Burdick's designation, is proof enough (for me) that T213-1 should never ever be considered a T206.....but this is a debate that will go on for a long time...All in fun...best regards

Did you find the Home Run Baker with red Hindu back? It was my November 16, 2006 auction, lot #50.

paper stock?
 
While I'm not totally disagreeing with you, Leon...if paper stock were the smoking gun...then maybe e97 b/w's/proofs shouldn't even be classified as e97's...they should be a totally separate issue...e-unc? I'm sure there are others. There will always be the t213-1/t206 debate...among others...hell...we need issues to bicker about...if everything were known...we'd have nothing to talk about?

Hey Pete
For the record no one that has any hobby experience considers the E97's as proofs. It's absurd to think they are, imo. Since they have the same exact poses I consider them a subset of E97, maybe E97-2. I also think they could actually be a whole different set but since there is precedence in other sets (such as E254 "proofs") I leave them as E97. For the record my feelings on E254 are the same as E97. Both of the E sets that are "proofs" have blank backs. The T213-1 set has a different back, though the caligraphy is similar to other of T206, and I just can't make that leap. There is no Coupon T206 and, if I am not mistaking, the factory and district are different than any other also. (I haven't looked that up though) It's a good debate......and your are right. Without these nuances what would we talk about?

Dustanh1 12-02-2009 03:13 PM

I believe someone on here was selling a Baker with a Red Hindu back maybe 5-6 months ago....might be the same one Barry is referencing.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop in and say thanks to Ted for another interesting thread. There is so much information on this set, and it is nice to read about it little by little.

I don't have anything to contribute to this thread, as I do not own any AB backs yet. 'Tis my goal for the first of the year though.

T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 vs Red HINDU exclusivity
 
I'm reprising this thread to correct the entry of Home Run Baker. This card indeed exists with a Red HINDU back. Therefore, I was skeptical of
previous data that showed it with an AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back. Upon further investigation, I found out that Baker has only been confirmed
with an AB 350 back....and, not an AB 460 back.

Here is the new UPDATED list....we are back to 70 confirmed AB 460 subjects......

Ted,

that list of ten is very similar to my list of Cycle 460s getting narrowed down. I do not believe I have have seen of known of more than 2 of each of the Cycle 460 copies of those 10 ABs listed. Any chance that some of these cards got double printed or 2 different series?

cfc1909 12-13-2009 09:58 AM

not sure about Herzog AB 460 but I am sure he exist in Cycle 460

<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/abcigpackt206.jpg" alt="[linked image]">


The CYCLE 460 cards were printed and issued (late 1910) prior to the AB 460 cards (1911). The CYCLE 460 backs
are found on most of the 109 possible subjects. Whereas, to date, we have only confirmed 70 of the possible 103
AB 460 cards. I don't expect that we will find too many more AB 460 cards. The reason being, that the Red HINDU
cards (issued in 1911) appear to complement the AB 460 cards in the total run of the 350/460 and 460-only series
subjects.

Why American Litho. printed these 2 backs in this manner is a mystery to me. Do you guys have any ideas on this ?


TED Z

Abravefan11 12-14-2009 04:26 AM

So Ted....
 
Are you saying that from your research you think a card like Herzog will only be possible with a Red Hindu or AB 460 back?

cfc1909 12-14-2009 05:10 AM

that is correct Tim -not both.

tedzan 12-14-2009 06:37 AM

JIM and TIM
 
To date, Herzog (Boston) has not been found with either AB 460 or Red HINDU.

Anyhow, Herzog is a card in the 460-only series, and may be found with both AB 460 and Red HINDU
backs This "mutually exclusive rule" does not apply to the 48 cards in the 460-only series.

FYI....The 460-only series has its particular "mutually exclusive rule", that is between LENOX and Red
HINDU brands.

The Herzog card you are interested is found with a LENOX back....therefore, Herzog will NOT be found
with a Red HINDU back.



Jim....ole buddy....sorry to disagree with you.


TED Z

cfc1909 12-14-2009 08:33 AM

I keep throwing in the 460 only cards-I did that the other day with the Crandall when we were talking about this rule. I have to watch that...:eek:

I have Herzog with Lenox and Cycle 460-no Red Hindu or AB 460.

tedzan 12-15-2009 07:10 PM

Tim
 
Since Herzog (Boston) has been confirmed with a LENOX back, Herzog will not exist with a Red HINDU back.

Hence, there is a chance that Herzog was printed with an AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back.

I haven't seen one, yet....but, that doesn't mean it's a No-Print.

The hunt continues......with the exception of Kleinow (Boston), I expect that eventually we will find all 47
cards in the 460-only series with AB 460 backs.

These kind of "rules of the (tobacco) road" are very handy for several reasons, two of which are......

It takes the guesswork out, when searching for certain front/back combos since you know if they exist or a No-Print.

Questionable front/back combos (re-backed cards) are quickly identified.

OK, one more round in trying to find the missing AB 460 cards. There are 28 subjects from the 350/460 series
that have not been reported with the AB 460 back. Applying the AB 460 vs Red HINDU "mutually exclusive" rule,

to these 6 cards. See if you have any of them......

Hi Ted,

The PSA Population Report reports one example of Herzog (Boston) with American Beauty. It is a PSA 1.

Since Herzog (Boston) is a 460-only subject, this example would have to be AB 460.

We all know PSA makes its share of labeling mistakes, but it seems unlikely here.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks very much....Herzog makes it 71 confirmed AB 460 cards, to date.

Indeed, Herzog (Boston) is an AB 460......and, that leaves us with only 3 remaining 460-only series subjects to
be confirmed.

I'm pretty certain we will find these 3 (Frill, Merkle and Murray) eventually. As for the 10 (or so) 350/460 series
subjects, I'm not very certain we will find them.

T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 vs Red HINDU vs UZIT exclusivity
 
<img src="http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/abcigpackt206.jpg" alt="[linked image]">



From the 460-only series......

Murray (portrait) has been reported with an AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back. This card raises
the number of confirmed AB 460 cards to 72.

Still unconfirmed from this series are these two......

Frill
Merkle (throwing)

However, It's my guess that Frill wont be found with an AB 460 back, since he was sold to
Jersey City (Eastern League) on July 13, 1910. The AB 460 cards were printed circa 1911.

Merkle exists with a UZIT back; consequently, there is a low probability of finding Merkle
with an AB 460 back. Only 5 cards (of 48) from the 460-only series exist with both AB 460
and UZIT backs.


Now, regarding cards in 350/460 series........

There still remains a good probability that any (or all) of the following 6 cards will be found
with an AB 460 back

Dougherty (arm in air)
Elberfeld (Wash-fielding)
McIntyre (Brooklyn & Chi)
Murphy (bat)
Overall (yellow sky)
Reulbach (no glove)


Any help confirming any of these 6 (or 8) cards with AB 460 backs is greatly appreciated.
