A possible T206 sheet?

[Jantz]

In the past I have spoke and corresponded with fellow board members on the most probable number being 12. Last year I started a thread about how I had found 9 T206s from the same series (Sweet Caporal 350-460 Fac.42) that consistantly showed a wet sheet transfer on all of them. Since that time I have located 3 others, bringing the total to 12. Which I believe puts them on a sheet together.

As with all T206s, they come in a variety of backs. After emailing Scot Reader with the names of the 12 players, Scot pointed out to me how these particular players also had other backs in common. This information got me digging even further and ironically these same 12 players also exhibit a wet sheet transfer in the Tolstoi back.

Here are the 12 players:

Crandall (Portrait with cap)
Devore
Duffy
Ford
Gandil
Geyer
Hummel
McGraw (glove on hip)
Pfeffer
Sheckard (glove shows)
Tannehill (Chi. no "L")
Wheat

I can't place which player was next to who, but I can at least possibly place them on a sheet together. I will post scans of a few of the players along with their Tolstoi counterparts. Currently I'm trying to buy examples of each player with the SC transfer. I have two, McGraw and Devore, which are displayed below.

As a reminder, if you own one of these players with a Sweet Cap. 350-460 Fac 42 or Tolstoi back and they don't exhibit a wet sheet transfer, they were probably part of the top or bottom sheet, depending how the sheets were stacked in the factory.

Comments appreciated.

Interesting topic.

I've got nothing to add except to show my Tannehill with its Tolstoi wet sheet transfer as an example...

Great work Jantz!! I definately think you are onto something here.I am going to check my T206's to see if I have anything to contribute to your investigation.

This is an interesting discovery you have made,one that may bring us closer to understanding some of these "mysteries".

Thank you for sharing this , I appreciate it!!!

Sincerely,Clayton

JANTZ!!

i would have to say that the tolstoi cards, almost 10% of them have some sort of "wet stack"....i surmise this factory designation/printer "rushed" through his job, because out of all the wet stacked cards, tolstoi is most frequent, almost "common"...might not be able to assemble a sheet to track it down to one particuliar....but i hope i'm wrong and you can put something together, but you will notice a "ton" of them


email me when u get a chance....congrats again on that m'rry find, i wish i was at that national w/ you!!!!

PEACE

No longer in my possession (sold a number of years ago), but this Sweet Caporal 350-460 exhibits a wet sheet transfer.
