I received an email from a new member regarding the Series structure of the T206 set. Currently, his collection consists of approx. 140 cards
in 15-page plastic sheets in a binder. I suggested to him to arrange his cards with respect to each series in order to get a true appreciation of
how these cards were printed and issued. This is how I have arranged all 4 of my T206 sets.





PIEDMONT was American Tobacco Company's Flagship brand. The American Lithographic Co. (ALC) printed approx. 53% of all T206 cards
with the PIEDMONT brand. As most of us know, a complete T206 set includes 524 cards, of which PIEDMONT has the greater number of
subjects (522) than any other brand. The 150-only Series was issued circa Spring/Summer 1909. The last series of T206 cards were issued
in Spring 1911. The T206 Series structure is as follows......

Series breakdown....... 520 different subjects and two variations and two error cards

150-only Series............ 12 subjects

150/350 Series.......... 143 (150 Series) subjects

350-only Series...........122 Major League subjects

350-only Series.............86 Minor League subjects

350/460 Series............ 63 subjects

460-only Series............ 46 subjects

Southern Leaguers...... 48 subjects
plus,
Demmitt St Louis American variation (POLAR BEAR)
O'Hara St Louis Nat'L variation (POLAR BEAR)
Sherry Magie error (Piedmont 150)
Joe Doyle NY Nat'L (Piedmont 350)

This SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #30 set is relatively easy to complete (with the exception of Eddie Plank and Wagner cards).
It took me less than 2 years to put together a 467-card set. But, it took me about 10 years to acquire the Eddie Plank card.
And of course, this set is complete as far as I'm concerned (as it will remain Wagner-less)

Hey guys, anyone here care to light-up a 110 year old cigarette


.



In 2005, when I broke up the 2nd T206 set, my American Beauty 460 card of Zach Wheat got me interested. Also, since Green ink T206 backs appeal to me,
I thought it would be fun to do an AB 460 run. Little did I know that this adventure would be quite a challenge.

American Litho printed exactly 74 subjects with this T-brand. I have listed these cards in order of their scarcity.
Relatively speaking, this first group of 12 subjects are the easiest to find. The other 62 subjects vary in degree
of difficulty.

The bottom line is....15 years later, I have 73 of these cards; and, I still need the Camnitz (hands over head). Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Schulte (front view)........ Replaced Wagner
Honus Wagner

I received an email from a Net54 "reader" (one who doesn't post) regarding my Powers and Schulte notations in the 150-only Series list.

This is the explanation of my theory regarding these two subjects......

Doc Powers....
American Litho (ALC) chose Powers (Plank's preferred battery mate) to replace Plank when ALC ceased printing Plank in their press runs.
Then when Powers passed away from an untimely death (April 1909), ALC removed him from their 150 Series printing plates.


Frank Schulte....
As far as I can tell, Schulte is strictly a 150-only subject. Yes, there exists one unique PIEDMONT 350 card of him; however, I consider it
a printing anomaly. If this subject is found with an EPDG back, then it could be considered an Elite 11 subject. But, until then (if ever), it
remains as a 150-only guy. So, why do I think Schulte replaced Honus Wagner ?
ALC's printing press was designed to print 12 cards across their printed sheet.

Ted, the numbers don't support Schulte replacing Wagner. A high percent of Wagner's are SC150/25 and Schulte isn't one of the tougher subjects with that back which would be the
case if he replaced Wagner. For example HOF's Chance and Mordecai Brown portrait are tougher with a SC150/25 back than Schulte.
