T206 find a few years ago Endicott, NY?
I tried to search the NET54 archives but couldn't find much on a supposed T206 find of cards a couple of years ago in Endicott, New York. Does anyone have details like how many cards were in the find, the provenance/original owners, general conditions of the cards, whether PSA or SGC graded the cards first, etc?

My find of the find
Here is what my Net54 search found:
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...highlight=find The thread has a link to another thread, and on that one a member mentions the possibility of Heritage Auctions ending up with the cards in one of their auctions a couple of years back...good luck with your search for info. Brian |
Here is a thread mentioning the Heritage auction on November 5, 2015, with T206s from the Endicott, NY find. The auction included a near-set of Sovereign backs plus a Lenox back, a Plank, and a Magie error, but it's not clear if these were part of the Endicott find.
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=213608 Based on this press release from Heritage, it sounds like the Sovereigns, at least, were part of the Endicott find: https://www.ha.com/heritage-auctions...releaseId=2841 The only card I have from that find is an Art Fletcher with a Cycle 350 back: http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...1/IMG_9119.jpg |
Here is the online catalogue from that Heritage auction. Only one lot mentions "Endicott" in the description (lot 10745), but a bunch of the T206s are from the Endicott, NY find, as you can see if you click on the lot numbers and look at the cards. The near-set of Sovereign backs do not have the "Endicott" designation on the flips (at least, the cards they showed do not), nor do the Lenox back or the Plank.

I only have a T206 Billy Campbell Sovereign 350 SGC 30 from that find but I don't have any info from the find.

thank you for the replies and links. my interest is primarily in cards from the find that ended up in 6, 7, and 8 holders. i'm trying to find images of them online, but it doesn't appear the name of the find is mentioned in most auction listings, so finding them has been a challenge. the heritage links are helpful.

I've also been trying to find more info on the Endicott find but have been equally unsuccessful in locating anything definitive about these cards. I have inadvertently collected a few of them and I must say they are some of the more beautiful T206 examples I have come across. They generally have very rich, saturated colors and are all in great condition. I hope someone does come forward with more information.
Here are photos of the five in my collection (sorry for the low quality - I'm not great at photographing my cards): Attachment 296342 Attachment 296343 Attachment 296345 Attachment 296346 |
Is there a T206 Luther "Dummy" Taylor in that Endicott, NY Collection?
