T205...a bit of my research

[Wite3]

Leon,
Did not forget...just had to check my notes on the hindus.

BTW, I have no doubt that the hindu numbers will rise. They went through at least three printings of the hindu sheet as I have seen 3 distinct Ames with Hindu backs. I have never seen two of the same drum card though...so it may have only had one printing making them one of a kind cards, for now. I doubt that they only ran one sheet of Drum and three of hindu. There were probably more but you just do not know.

Joshua

PS I emptied a slew of new messages so whoevers bounced...feel free to resend or drop me an email.

Thanks again, Joshua. On your sightings of Drums, I believe I have seen multiple Mordecai Browns....maybe more than 2-3?

I have what I believe is a comprehensive Sovereign list of 123 cards if anybody wants it. Nice work, Joshua!

Take Care,
Geno

Joshua, from a fellow T205 collector, thank you for gathering statistics on the T205 set. You are helping it be tracked like the T206's are.

Joshua,

Thanks for all your hard work - it is greatly appreciated! As for "Drum" backs I own the Harry Wolter from the St. Louis find and there is currently an SGC 10 listed on Ebay so that would make at least a second run I suppose...

Does anyone have a data sheet for the T205 with all the back combinations for each player ? For example : the ultimate master set. I'm interested in Detroit players and all the possible back combinations. For example: how many different Ty Cobb's are possible ? Thanks

My experience with the T205 Cobb indicates that it can be found with the following 6 backs......

AMERICAN BEAUTY
HASSAN factory 30
HONEST LONG CUT
PIEDMONT factory 25
PIEDMONT factory 42
POLAR BEAR

New finds are still happening. I have a fairly complete sheet...if you want to email me I might be able to help this weekend.

BTW, some Detroit players seem harder than others but not quite SPs. Sort of strange that way.

Joshua,

Thanks for posting the T205 back information. Maybe some day there will be a T205Resource.com for the T205 fans.

Was wondering though, for the American Beauty Black/Green and Broadleaf Black /Green, are they similar to the T206 Hindu Brown/Red where a card has one or the other and not both?

Also, when you get a chance, would you please send me your confirmed list of White Sox players? Minus Donahue, got that from the reply to Ted Z.'s post.

And finally, I have scans of Payne and Olmstead with Drum backs if you need. Cannot remember where I found the scans.

Thanks,
ChiSoxFan

Just a funny story- and what i have seen the last few months for sale in T205's-

in the last few months of looking to buy T205, i have RARELY come across Piedmont 42's. I have seen plenty of AB (40-50 at least), 2 drums, no Hindu, 4 BL. I have seen 4 piedmont 42. (bought 1 of them)

The latest one i found was a blurry picture, so i sent the seller an email asking what it said.

He said he didnt realise it was a 42, thanked me for calling his attention to it and that he was canseling the listing and not selling it. lmao

Hey Guys & Girls
I generally don't bring up an old thread like this, but we are updating the T205 Scarcity "permanently bookmarked" thread in the Net54 Forum Archive Center on the board (far right icon near top of each page). If anyone wants to chime in with any newer data it would be most appreciated. And thanks again to Joshua for starting the thread originally....

I took Joshua's data from 2012 and put it into a table which is easier for me to read. Is this still the most up to date data on T205 backs?

[sb1]

Drum count is probably quite a bit higher as there were a couple of small finds, although most were lower grade/altered.

It's almost hard to believe there are 44 Hindu back T205s. I remember seeing about 3-4, in the last 25 yrs.

I agree...I must have missed those Hindu backs...I seem to remember more Drum backs being available

No doubt that Hindu is the toughest...
