T209 What am I?

Posted By: scott brockelman

I have had the following items for many years and have conversed with others on their importance/relevance to the T209 Contentnea set. What I have are 2 4 player pieces on very heavy cardboard stock each measuring approx. 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". I believe they are cut from an advertising piece, as there is just the slightest bit of block lettering on the bottom of onr of them. Further I believe these to depict several players that were intended for the "second" series or color T209's that was never issued. We instantly recognize Cooper and Hoffman from the series 1 color set. The others are also line drawings as used in the color set and not actual photos like the Black and White series. The players on the 1st strip are ????(can't make out the writing), Hoffman, Doak and Cooper. The second strip has Kite, Brooks, Tidyman(sic) & Orth(which is the same pose used in the T206 set.

These were both postally used, YEP as postcard, mailed from Wilmington, NC to an Andrews family in Ceracues(yes that how they spelled it!) NY from Fred Kellum? hard to make out the penciled return.

Anyone have any thoughts??
