My title for this post is taken from a very good 1973 Baseball movie featuring Michael Moriarity and Robert De Niro. Check it out if you have not seen it.
Back in the 1970's and 1980's, DRUM cards (of both T206's and T205's) were considered the scarcest tobacco cards. Of course, this isn't true anymore.
The T206 BROAD LEAF 460 and the T205 HINDU (respectively) are tougher cards to find than DRUM.
New DRUM cards continue to come out of the wood-work. The most significant find in recent years was Ron Oser's which included 51 - DRUM cards.
DRUM cards were printed on subjects in the
350-only series and on subjects in the
350/460 series. The DRUM cards were issued circa Summer/Fall of 1910.
FYI the confirmed T206 DRUM cards (as of today) are listed here......
