T206 population #'s
Scot Reader estimates that approx. 1.5 Million T206's have survived in these past 100 years. This is probably a fairly
accurate number. Divide 1.5 Million by 500 subjects = 3000 cards on average per each T206 subject.
Players like Dahlen (Brooklyn), Demmitt & O'Hara (St. Louis versions), Elberfeld (portrait-Washington), Lundgren (Cubs),
Magie, Plank, Wagner were printed in significantly less numbers (100 to 500 each). Also, certain Southern Leaguers are
quite short of this "3000" number. And, only 8 cards of the Doyle error are known.
One more once, all indications (from several surveys) are that the Red Cobb is a DOUBLE PRINT....its population ranges
from 5000 - 6000 cards.
So, here in a "nutshell" you have a fairly accurate picture of the T206 population.
