Pardon me for starting this OLD MILL post by first showing you my very first T206 card which I acquired in 1981 at the famous Willow Grove (PA) Show......but, I'm proud of it.
...besides Walter Johnson, Chase is my favorite player from the deadball era.
OLD MILL backs are tricky. They are tough to find on certain 150/350 series subjects. For example....
OLD MILL's are more available on subjects in the 350-only series. And, OLD MILL's are most available on subjects in the 350/460 series. OLD MILL'S get somewhat tougher
to find on subjects in the 460-only series.
Furthermore, the Exclusive 12 subjects in this latter series are very, very difficult to find with OLD MILL backs......
I do not recall of any major finds of T206 OLD MILL (Major Leaguer) cards. Does any one on this forum know of any ? If so, please chime in and tell us of them.
In recent years, Mark Macrae acquired an original T206 collection located in the Northwest. It included a fairly large number of OLD MILL cards. If I recall these
cards were all from the 350/460 series, and 460-only series.
.
To date....
309 black OLD MILL Major League subjects have been confirmed.
They are listed here as a function of their respective T206 series.
