The Tobacco Triple Crown - Players in T205, T206 and T207 sets

[brianp-beme]

Here is Tommy Leach...I think the artists in all 3 sets captured the look in his eyes.

Fun thread! Not the great scans, but my minimal contribution until a better one comes along. I'd pay altered/authentic prices for the Auth T205 like this one all day long.

[brianp-beme]

Nice cards...keep your tobacco crowns tripling in. Here is George Mullin. He had one heck of a year in 1909.

George T. posted a very nice trio of WaJos near the beginning of this thread. To keep this thread going, here's a WaJo trio that may have different ad backs:

Here is the last of my available Tri-cycle candidates (it is up to you to decide which card qualifies as the third wheel).

I think I saw these already but here's my Speaker 3 pack.

[brianp-beme]

Thanks Ben for bringing back this Triple Crown thread, and in a show of appreciation I have thoroughly asterisked up Livingstone in the original post.

And repeats are fine...if Rogers Hornsby and Ted Williams can do it more than once, so can a player be repeated by any of you out there.

Is it just me or does WaJo look like a Ghost in his T207? Good Halloween card!

Good thread Brian! Don't know how I missed it before this

My Pirates contributions ...

Dots Miller



and Chief Wilson



The T205's and 6's are no longer mine, but I have fond memories of them.

Thanks Mike. I especially like how you get a good feel for how Wilson looked like in the three cards...I feel like I would be able to recognize him if he passed me on the street.

Here are another three, this time of Bobby Wallace, that also seem to capture the player's essence.

Fabulous thread guys. I'm learning something with each new post.

[brianp-beme]

Thanks Ben for bringing back this fun thread. With your Lennox addition we are down to needing 15 more to have shown all the Tobacco Triple Crown winners.

To keep the ball rolling (admittedly sideways), I will repost my Leifield trio that started off this thread a little over three years ago.

Brian

[peterb69]

I did not display it but I do own a triple of Jack Barry. I did not see him on the list. His T207 card is pretty cool.

Thanks Peter, I thought I would get away with my little plot of leaving Jack Barry off the Triple Crown list to hold down pricing on his cards, but once again my devious ways have backfired. He will begrudgingly have his name added to the list.

On the bright side, I also happen to have his trio of cards, and his T207 is indeed a fun one. So in a break in tradition from my other scans in this thread, I will present his T207 card centrally located and horizontally orientated.

One of my fave posts to resurrect.

It's the, "Peaches and Art" Show!
(... or is that, "Peaches and Herb". Wait a tic; I just dated myself with a lousy, musical history reference.)

Nice Duo of Trios Ben, and after visually ingesting those Grahams, we are practically Fromme-ing at the mouth. I especially like the T207 Graham, a great card that is not seen as often. Asterisking in first post has been duly updated!

[Kidnapped18]

Cool Brian!

Out of my list all of the players have multiple T206 poses with the exception of Bill Carrigan, Red Dooin, Harry Lord, and Tris Speaker!

McGraw and Tinker both have four (4) different T206 poses.

Chief Bender is the only one from this list in the T227 Series of Champions tobacco series.

[MuncieNolePAZ]

Anybody offhand know how many have T204,T205,T206, and T207? I know WaJo does.

Thanks

The 25 players included in all four T204 through T207 sets:

Chad and brianp-behumorous, why stop at players who are in the T204 through the T207 sets? How about a list of all the players who are in the T204 through the T208 sets? I believe there is only one such player, Chief Bender!

[brianp-beme]

I believe Bender is the player in the most different tobacco card issues. Here are the sets he is in (that have designated ACC numbers and feature players from MLB teams):

1910-11 T3 Turkey Reds
1911 T5 Pinkerton Cabinets
1913 T200 Fatima Team
1911 T201 Mecca Double Folders
1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folders
1909 T204 Ramly
1911 T205 Gold Borders
1909-11 T206 White Borders
1912 T207 Brown Backgrounds
1911 T208 Cullivan's Fireside Phila. A's
1910 T213-1 Coupon Cigarettes
1914-16 T213-2 Coupon Cigarettes
1919 T213-3 Coupon Cigarettes
1915 T214 Victory Tobacco
1912 T215 Pirate Cigarettes
1910-12 T215-1 Red Cross Tobacco
1912-13 T215-2 Red Cross Tobacco
1911-14 T216 Peoples Tobacco Kotton
1911-14 T216 Peoples Tobacco Mino
1911-14 T216 Peoples Tobacco Virginia Extra
1912 T227 Series of Champions
1914 T330-2 Piedmont Art Stamps
1911 T332 Helmar Stamps

ACC classified Tobacco sets Bender is not in:

1900 T203 Mayo's Baseball Comics
1914 T222 Fatima players
1922 T231-2 Fans Cigarettes


Bender gets the nod over popular players like Cobb because of the T208 Philadelphia Atheletics set, as mentioned by Val-behumoroustoo, and the T207 set.

Thank Brian! Thanks Val for the T208 reference. Too bad there wasn’t a T203.

I forgot to put the T203 set in the "Bender not in" list. I will update that post. I have found on the internet a possible match for Bender in the T203 set, and here is an image of it.
