A T205 run can be fun....especially the tougher runs....show us your T205's

[tedzan]

I have been working on NY Yankees T205 runs. First started with the group of 32 subjects which I refer to as the A - B - C - D connection. This group
of T205's were printed with more T-brands than the other T205's in this set. And, I really enjoy this challenge.

My experience doing these T205 runs has provided me an appreciation for the printing patterns of these cards. Some examples are......

The A - B - C - D cards and AMERICAN BEAUTY (Green) cards are mutually-exclusive.

HINDU cards and DRUM cards are mutually-exclusive.

PIEDMONT #42 and HASSAN #649 are mutually-exclusive. Thanks to Michael (gonzo), who brought this to our attention in a previous T205 thread.

And, Andrew's (T205 GB) Master checklist has been an excellent reference in searching for the various backs for my T205 runs.


So, I will start this show with my near-complete Miller Huggins and Harry Wolter runs.

. Need HONEST LONG CUT back.
HASSAN Factory #649



I've included Miller Huggins in my Yankees run. Great Yankees Mgr., plus he is the guy who persuaded Col. Jacob Ruppert (Yankees owner)
to acquire Babe Ruth from Boston in 1919.....and, the rest is history.


PIEDMONT Factory #42.... Huggins is one of the few guys in the group of 32 subjects comprising the A - B - C - D connection with
this very rare back.

My Huggins run is 90% complete (need HASSAN Factory #30). A DRUM has yet to be confirmed for Huggins. But, I expect that his DRUM card eventually will be discovered.


OK guys, that's the beginning of my show-n-tell. Looking forward to seeing your T205 run.

Fun thread idea. In October of last year T205's really started to gain my attention. Big Ed Walsh was my first.

After seeing just how beautiful these cards were in hand I was hooked so I decided to take the journey on a HOF subset run.

Its been a fun ride so far. My progress to date -

[RayBShotz]

Great looking group of classic HOF'ers Tony!
I find myself revisiting some old stomping grounds with T205 and T206's.
Fun to soak up the eye candy.

Nice-looking start on your HOFer's run. Just eighteen more T205 HOFers to go.

I had a nice mid grade, well centered set going. But there were too many other things I wanted and I can't have it all LOL....it was fun doing though. Just wanted to end up with one for now..
I like seeing T205 runs. One of the best looking sets of all time to me.

Jack Quinn is another Yankees subject in the group of 32 printed with the A - B - C - D backs. I need 3 backs to complete.

TRIVIA..... Jack Quinn's "claim to fame" is something that no other BB player featured in the T206 set has achieved ?

Haven't added a new Gibson card to the collection in quite a while, but that won't stop me from rolling out the same old Gibby's every now and again when I can.

Here is my seen-before and complete-as-far-as-I-know T205 Gibson run:



Cheers,

Richard.

Hi Richard

Great Gibson run....and, it is indeed complete.


Here is my only Gibson card.

I've been working on a Cycle run of the group of 14 T205 short-prints that come only with Cycle+Hassan 30+Piedmont 25 backs.
Down to only Karger needed for completion.

Tremendous CYCLE run, Michael.

Thanks for posting them.

Jack Quinn's Major League career spanned from 1909 to 1933. As a result of his long pitching career he is featured in both the T206 set and the 1933 GOUDEY set.

Oooo - Oooo - Can I play?!?!

If someone has a Cycle 1 loss they'd like to move, I'm here and interested! Also heard there's an American Beauty, I could use one of those, too.

In the meantime...

Some great runs, guys. I will continue this "running game" with John Lobert. Actually I put this run together for my wife....she is the Phillies fan in our family.

Just as the Huggins, Quinn and Wolter cards, the John Lobert card is also in the group of the A - B - C - D connection. And, like Huggins, Lobert's DRUM back
has not been confirmed. Furthermore, I've not seen Lobert with either of the HASSAN backs nor PIEDMONT #42. For now it appears that this run is complete.

Here's a bit of trivia regarding John Lobert.

Like the bio on Lobert's card reads.... John was one of "the fastest men" in BB.....how fast was he ?

In 1913, John Lobert and Jim Thorpe raced the 100 yard dash at the Polo Grounds and Lobert won.
