T206 Drum Backs
 

Posted By: <b>Robert Reiss</b><p>The last few Drums I've seen (there are 3 on eBay) are all trimmed up top. Is this common? Similar to American Beauty? Ted?????

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>No, this is not in the manufacture as with American Beauty. These cards are simply trimmed. Suspect they may have come from the Don McPherson collection as he often trimmed his cards to fit in his binder pages.

The trimmed ones on EBay all came from the recent Hunt auction where 33 Drum backed cards, all trimmed were sold. Be well Brian

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Thanks Brian. I probably should have mentioned the Hunt Auction and modified my McPherson statement to say that they may have "originally" been from his collection.<br /><br />P.S. And I have no vested interest, but notwithstanding that they are trimmed, most present well and you don't have to pay $2,000 to have a Drum.

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Hi Steve,<br /> That's funny, as I was thinking about mentioning that many old time collectors like Don trimmed cards to fit into there albums. I don't think these came from Don,but you never know... I would like to know the history behind the cards. Anyone have any insight? LMK Be well Brian<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p> Hi Dan,<br /> The red background Cobb can and does exist with a Drum back, as I have seen 3 raw and 2 graded. You must be thinking of another pose. <br /><br /> Be well Brian<br /><br /><br />PS Dan, you know you aren't supposed to talk about UNC cards.... smiley...

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>couple weeks ago here in Louisville. Go to huntauctions.com, select current auction and search for t206 drum.

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Actually, and this was one of my main objections a Hunt's search, is that T206 brought up zip. You had to search T-206.

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>I finally figured it out, I typed just Drum and found it. I was amazed at how low the Crawford, Chance, & Willis lot went for. Most of the lots seemed very reasonable. I picked one up in a trade and very happy with it. <br /><br />Lee
