FT: T206 Rare Backs
 

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look at my listing.

I wanted to attempt a possible trade, should anyone be interested. For roughly two+ months, I have attempted to acquire a Hughie Jennings (both hands/dancing) with an American Beauty 460 reverse. Unfortunately, I have only seen two examples in that time, one of which belongs in a legit collector who wanted to hang onto the card, and another which had writing all over the back.

I am looking for a solid example. Nothing spectacular really, just something that is pleasant to look at (i.e. no writing, no severe creasing, no destructive paper loss etc. etc.). The technical grade is of no real consequence. If anyone has one that they are interested in turning over, I have the following two cards which I would be willing to trade:

John McGraw (HOF)
Portrait, No Cap
Hindu-Brown
SGC 10 1

This is a fairly interesting card, in my opinion. You will notice the obvious writing and stamp on the back. It reads: "Frederick Benedict Gessner", and in a calligraphy style writing: "Princeton". You will also notice the initials "f.b.g.".

I found it interesting, in that a similar T206 popped up recently (I had actually tried to add this card to my collection at one point, but it did not materialize as it had already been submitted to auction when I inquired):

You will notice that the Greminger(SL) appears to share the same former owner as my McGraw. It also is a Brown Hindu. They both appear to have spent time in a scrap book as well, as my McGraw had a small amount of residue from the page of the scrap book. Nothing too crazy, but I thought that was kind of cool.

Does anyone have any idea who this guy was?

Sam Crawford (HOF)
With Bat
American Beauty 350-No Frame
SGC 40 3

This is a nice looking card, and has a unique cut to it. I believe it is called a "diamond cut", but I will leave that to those who are more knowledgable than I.

If you are interested in a making a trade (cash is an option as well, if necessary), please feel free to send me a PM.

Thank You Very Much for Your Time.
