Posted By: <b>Dan</b><p>I keep a good record of what T206's sell for and I used the fine T206 estimator and the value comes out to $75 on the card below. The PSA5 Harry Pattee sold for $333+. Am I missing something? Usually the estimator and the prices realized are a tad closer. <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31718&item=5155784 622&rd=1" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31718&item=5155784 622&rd=1</a><br /><br />Thank You!

Posted By: <b>Trae R.</b><p>I saw that same horizontal card (1 of the 2 I need to finsh the horiz. subset) raw for $120 in VG or G condition with a common back. I don't understand why it's priced higher - I believe its a common, anyone know the answer?

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Patee is one of the few players who was only distributed in the 150 series. Therefore the card is short printed and a premium is due. That's one of the error's in the T206 estimator, that I identified and will be talking to Trae about. The Pelty horizontal falls into the same catagory, and also sells for a premium. Be well Brian

However, before I started collecting caramels, I had quite a large collection of every one of the 150 Series ONLY cards (except the Wagner). The cards ONLY issued in the 150 Series are: G.Brown (Cubs) (in fact, much scarcer than the more expensive Washington variation - a good buy at common prices!), M. Brown (Cubs on Shirt), Burch (Batting), Donlin (Fielding), Evers (Cubs On Shirt), Pattee (Hor.), Pelty (Hor.), Powers and Reulbach (Glove Shows).<br /><br />My experience was (and I searched EVERYWHERE for these 150 Series cards and had multiples of each - again, I am talking about the ones ONLY issued in the 150 Series - not found in the 350): These can ONLY be found with the backs listed below (THEREFORE, THESE LISTED BACKS ARE THE 150 SERIES BACKS):<br /><br />Hindu (Brown)<br />Piedmont 150<br />Sovereign 150<br />Sweet Caporal 150 (Fact. 25, 30 and 649 O/P).<br /><br />El Principe and Old Mill were not issued UNTIL the 350 Series (I don't care what any book or anybody says). If cards were issued with these brands in the 150 Series of 1909, then one of these nine cards would have to have an Old Mill or El Principe back - and NONE of them are found with either of those two backs!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, other portraits and cards issued in the 150 Series can be found with these two backs - however, these were all issued in the 350 Series, as NONE of the Nine 150 Series Only cards are found with these two brand backs. If anyone has one of these nine players with an El Principe or Old Mill back, then prove me wrong - please (as I have bought these and researched them for sometime and still have trouble getting this point through to some old timers).

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>has anyone ever seen a Schulte Front View (Cubs on Chest) with a 350 Series back? I know, according to the books and experts it is suppose to be a card issued in the 150 and 350 Series. However, Brian W. and I talked about this over a year ago - as of that time (we both had a few each and had seen several), we had only seen this card with 150 Series backs? Is this another card that was issued only in the 150 Series of 1909? Does anybody own one with a 350 Series back?

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>OK, please help me make sure I got this right:<br /><br />In 1909, the T206 cards were FIRST issued in a series of 150...<br /><br />and the ONLY backs on those first "set of 150" cards were:<br /><br />Hindu (Brown)<br />Piedmont 150<br />Sovereign 150<br />Sweet Caporal 150<br /><br />And the only HOF'er cards in that FIRST "set of 150" that NEVER appeared again in any later sets were:<br /><br />M. Brown (Cubs on Shirt) and Evers (Cubs On Shirt)??<br /><br />So all other HOF's with cards and poses in that first "series of 150" also have the same fronts with various 350 backs??<br /><br />But a T206 Walter Johnson portrait with one of the four previously mentioned "Series of 150" backs would definitely have been printed BEFORE one with a different type back??

Posted By: <b>Robert A</b><p>Hi Hal!<br /><br />Do you have "the monster?"<br />You need to get it. It will save you a lot of time...especially if you are trying to pinpoint what backs are available with what hall of fame fronts.<br /><br />That's why I kept saying, "Don't look for a walsh portrait with a really rare back." Because, there aren't any out there. Brown hindu or epdg is the rarest possiblility your gonna get for walsh.<br /><br />Of course, there are some things that might need to be changed since the short work was issued, and that's where some of the guys on this board who are meticulously studying the set come in...but most of it is covered...and its a fun read. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />take care.<br />robert a

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>350 backs were printed in 1909 also, just later in the year. One would presume that 150 back fronts were printed before 350 backs, but it's possible that the fronts were all printed at the same time, and then a different back (a 350) was affixed to the front.

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Hi Joe,<br /><br /> You can get a decent scanner for 200.00 or less these days, and we would all love to see pictures of your awesome collection on the board. <br /> Scott Elkins and I have both believed for quite some time that Schulte front view may have only been printed in the 150 series, but your revelation tells us we were wrong. I know I have owned or viewed over a hundred Schulte's and have never seen a 350 back. Obviously there are several cards which appear first in the 150 series and then again sparingly in the 350 series. Hurry up and get a scanner so I can see "slow JOE". <br /><br /> Hope to meet you at the National Brian <br />

Brown).<br /><br />To me, this sounds like Walsh was included in the "Series of 350" sets as well.<br /><br />MANY of those sets have RARE backs... so why would there be NO Walsh cards with those backs?<br /><br />Were there DIFFERENT players in the "Drum 350" set and the "American Beauty 350" set than there were in the "Piedmont 350" set??????
