Beautiful card, Ted. Don't suppose you would take a Kidney as payment for the Plank

I can't recall, if you posted about it before, was the Sweet Caporal Back the first tobacco card set you worked on? How'd you choose that one to start? Would love to hear the story.

Beauty Teddy. Your heirs will be thankful!

Hi James

Since you asked....stay tuned for a lengthy dissertation:

My T206 fascination started with my 1st T206......Hal Chase (blue portrait).......which I acquired at the famous Willow Grove Show in 1981.

I put together a 521 card set (including MAGIE) by the mid 1990's. After which, I sold this set to a friend of mine, circa 1997.

In 2005, I acquired a large collection of T206's (including most of the rare backs). I completed this 2nd set (520 cards) by Jan 2006.

Then, I decided to get adventurous....45% of this set was composed of PIEDMONT cards. So, I sold (or traded) the Non-PIEDMONT cards,
and set off to achieve an ALL - PIEDMONT set. Circa November 2006, this all-PIEDMONT set was complete consisting of 519-cards [MINUS
Wagner, Plank, Joe Doyle, and the Demmitt & O'Hara St. Lo. variations (Polar Bear cards)].

The 4th set...regardless of the fact that there are only 408 cards...was quite a challenge. I had to figure out the numerous NO-PRINTS while
putting together a complete ALL - SOVEREIGN set. I achieved this mission by November 2007.

And the 5th set. While the SOVEREIGN set has 122 No-Prints, a SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set has just 55 No-Prints. A near-complete
SWEET CAP set (467 cards) was achieved by circa 2009. It took me approx. 6 years to acquire this Plank card. I consider my SWEET CAP set
complete without the Wagner.

Ted I might be wrong but wouldn't an all Sovereign set be 406 cards?

[Jobu]

Nice Ted! Out of curiosity, any chance you have a scan from before the restoration?

Basically, a complete SOVEREIGN set consists of 402 subjects. My set has 408 cards.
Since it includes the SIX SUPER PRINTS with both the SOVEREIGN 350, and 460 backs.
A SOVEREIGN master set consists of 476 cards.


Here is the breakdown of the 402 subjects with respect to their Series......

SERIES

150-only......12

150/350.....140

350-only.....138

"350/460".....66 (apple-green backs)

460-only...... 46
______________
..................402

Ok I get it now Ted I didn't realize you were counting the super prints twice.
I still have an all Sovereign (vs a master) set a little different.


The way I see it is of the 524 subjects I have 70 subjects that weren't printed with any of the Sovereign backs plus the 48 Southern Leaguers so 524-118 = 406 different
subjects printed with a Sovereign back.
