T206 Museum is back up!

Jim,

The scarcity back checklist got edited a few times with the help of many collectors over the years. I took every input into consideration and no one disagree those Old Mill bar backs aren't the rarest backs. If those backs should have been considered as scrap backs rather than regular backs then that's another story. Members on this board also mentioned Old Mill SL brown backs should not be part of the regular backs as well.

I have already addressed the issue regards to consigning the Revelle to REA in the other thread.

We always regret selling/trading out cards for things that we wanted and wished that never happened. I wish I sold my collection a few yrs ago and bought a Wagner when it was still in $50k range as well. The collector who had the Hart got fully compensated and have put the money in some other things that he loves. I don't know what I can do better here.

Regarding Nodgrass variations, I have even received email from George H. (the person who created all those fake Nodgrass variations) telling me the catching pose of Nodgrass do exist. I asked him to send his card to me for inspection. Was it wrong? I can't just listen to collectors blindly and update my website base on what I received thru email right? (BTW Dan, I have already edited the site regards to Nodgrass variations yesterday)

I really don't remember what happened to the Latham Brown Lenox back auction, pls email me to explain.

Dan, I understand the 12 Cts Piedmont pack could include fish or flag non-sport tobacco card but I pulled a t206 from one of the two packs that I obtained from the same collection. Wouldn't that be a common sense the other pack also has a t206 card rather than a non-sport card? I am curious too but just have no guts to verify. That's why I offer full refund if my pack doesn't has a t205 or t206 inside. I will even offer full refund if there's only non-sport card inside the pack.

rdwyer, you can find the REA Piedmont pack with t206 inside here (http://www.t206museum.com/page/periodical_73.html). I am not the first one stating these 12 cts pack has t206 in it. This article was written by Beckett back in 1992 (http://www.t206museum.com/page/periodical_81.html) In addition, there was a similar unopened Drum pouch in Mile High auction last year claiming there's a t205 or t206 inside as well.
