Yes Colton..... "It's been a fun ride" .....and, sometimes a roller-coaster ride
Anyhow......
My 2 favorite T206 backs are the AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and the UZIT. Especially the UZIT, because I think it was printed in the final T206 production runs (circa Spring 1911).
I have had as many as a dozen UZIT cards throughout the years. Now, only two remain in my collection. I acquired this Schaefer for $15 in Cooperstown, NY in the late 1980's.
.
This Herzog card is from the Smoky Mountains (NC) region where my ole buddy, Ralph T discovered it. To date, it is still the only Herzog/UZIT known. I acquired it from Ralph
some years ago. I regret selling it to David Hall in recent years (we made a deal that I could not refuse).
.
This McGraw is also a unique front/back combo. This McGraw was printed in the Group of 12 from the 460-only Series which I refer to as the "Exclusive 12". A UZIT back is
virtually impossible to find on an Exclusive 12 card. There is a great story associated with how I acquired this very rare T206. I will leave my McGraw story for another day.
