My T206 Lumley back run
 

Just for fun, here is my Lumley back run. I think it is complete , there are three others listed on T206 Resource but I have not seen them. So if you have any of hte three I would love to know.

Sorry for the poor scans.... Not real good with this scanner and I thinkg the SGC card throws everything off a bit.

From T206 resource:

Sovereign 350 (Possible, not confirmed)
Sweet Cap 150 #25 (Possible, not confirmed)
Sweet Cap 150 #649 (Probable No-Print)

Nice run!!

Very cool!

That's awesome, great job!

Very nice. I've seen an all white scrap floating around :D

Nice run. Lumley and Lord were my first T206s. I put the images together for you:

Thanks Zach thats awesome! They look so much better when laid out like that!

Thanks everyone! It was a fun little side project. I've been told there is a SC150/25 out there so the hunt will go on for a little bit longer.

Nice run. Next...... :)

Congrats, Donnie!

Well done, good luck on the last one.

Any particular reason why you chose Lumley?

Thanks Bryan!
Lumley was my first T206 so he is my favorite card and add that to the fact his backs looked very attainable made it a go. Surprisingly to me, as I don't study these things, the OM along with the SC factory 25s are the toughest to find.

That's interesting. I've been looking for Merkle portrait cards, and the Old Mill has been the hardest one to find as well. :confused:

Don't "misunderestimate" the difficulty of 150/350 subjects with OM.

They are roughly as difficult as 150/350 subjects with Brown Hindu.

Edited to add: The reason is that OM printing did not start until after the 150 print run had been completed and the 350 print run was reasonably well underway.

Is there a simple explanation as to why there is no Polar Bear backed Lumley?

One of the other guys will probably have to chime in here but I don't think the PB backs were printed until later print groups and Lumley was in Print Group 1.

Some OM are tough
 

At Scot noted above, with my T206 Lajoie Throwing back run, I literally came across 6 Brown Hindu backs before seeing my first OM back on that card (and then that OM card was REALLY beat up).

Some OM backs can be nearly impossible to find.

Pretty much what Donnie said -- Lumley is a 150/350 subject and PB printing didn't start until after these subjects were mothballed. On the other hand, OM printing started a little earlier than PB printing so there was a small period of overlap where 150/350 subjects were printed with OM. Hence the existence of 150/350 subjects with OM in small quantities.

Nice run Donnie!

Glad you got it completed.

Keep an eye out for that SC 150/25 though.

Wow, that Lumley run is really cool! Any particular reason you chose that player?
