T206 BURNS (corrected glove variation)

[Craig M]

Does anyone have the T206 BURNS corrected glove variation?

His card shows him wearing a left-handers glove on his right hand and I am in search of the elusive corrected glove variation.

If you find one, it would be considered a new discovery. Good luck!

I have never heard of this card either. Guess you learn something new everyday.

Best,

Actually the best explanation for the Burns T206 card is the Abbott Theory.

Like Jim Abbott, Burns had only one hand and transferred the glove to his pitching hand after each pitch.

Although his Right Arm was never photographed, it is presumed that the contents of his glove as pictured on the T206 contains a less than functional flipper present since birth due to thalidomide that was given to his mother for morning sickness during her pregnancy.

Wait.....Wait......Don't Tell Me

The T3 Turkey Red shows the corrected version. He was never wearing a lefty glove, that was just an error by the T206 artist

Bill Burns wasn't the most professional guy. Called "Sleepy Bill" because he couldn't stay awake on the bench. And everyone knows he was a crook in the Black Sox thing. He might have been out there playing with the wrong glove. They just added another thumb to the T3 version.

I believe he was clowning for a photo, and the T206 is a close representation of that photo. The T3 looks like the artist actually added a glove finger where the web was in the photo.

But this is one where I would love to see the photo actually used.

Seems like I saw a photo-shopped picture on here of T206 Burns with the glove on the other hand not long ago. Maybe that's what you saw, Craig. You gotta pay close attention for these jokers. Cheers

I'm surprised Andrew sold that card to you Chris. You must have had some dollar Bill to Burns!

Am I just a T206 babe lost in the woods? If this corrected glove T206 Burns exists, shouldn't the T206 set be 525 cards instead of 524? Or is this just some sort of early April Fools Joke pulled over on goobs like myself?
