T205 Q&A open platform

[T205 GB]

I know we have quite a few 205 collectors on here. Does anyone have any questions or theories they want to ask or give. There are several very knowledgeable collectors and myself on this board that would love to talk about some 205's.

Hey Andrew
Nice thread. Any ideas on why we have only seen 1 hall of famer with a Hindu back? I think we went over this before (and I am not using the search function ) but should there be a Cobb with Drum and/or Hindu back?

Leon that's a great question. Cobb is found with an AB green back. That's the toughest back for him. There unfortunately will not be a BL or Drum back. As far as HOFers with Hindus that's unknown.

All 205's that have AB green backs will not ever have a BL or Drum back making the AB green the toughest back for them. I posted a thread a while back with Drum and Hindu possibles and confirmed. Very intersting that the counts were about the same on both sides.

Pictures are always welcome of these cards ( Leon)

Hey Andrew
I will go back and look at that possibility list. I do have one observation though. You say the Cobb with AB back is tough but for some reason I see them pop up fairly often. Without even thinking about it I know of at least 3 that have sold fairly recently, including one I had? Here is a pic, shown a million times before, but still fits the thread.....

Only in the last few yrs have the AB Cobbs hit the market. I know of only less than 10 unique examples. I graded one recently that resides in a SGC 1.5 slab. I was gonna sell it but decided to keep it with my collection. That's the one Somerset Velvet had. I know REA had a grade 5 FS a few yrs back and Scott has one. I have seen a few more but that's it. There are fewer AB backed Cobbs than any other back found with his card, even the pied 42's. I was unaware you had one. Was it graded? You have a scan available?

I have a T205 question.

I am still having difficulty determining between Broadleaf Black & Broadleaf Green backs. I'm trying to have at least 1 of every back in my collection, but I'm having a darn time distinquishing between these 2. It just might be my eyes however.

Can somebody post an example of each Broadleaf back side by side?

Thanks

Here is the one I had.....I know Mckee had 2 for sale recently and there have been others. Actually, I have seen quite a few Cobb AB's in the past year or so. I bought this one raw off of ebay...in the last few years...

Andrew,

Great thread. Glad to see more talk on the T205s.

I too have an AB Cobb in my collection.
