Tuesday nite Trivia....How many T206's comprise a master set ?

[E93]

If teamsets4u is correct, I believe I was the closest (aside from teamsets himself).

he is not correct-there is no account for the no prints-nobody will get this one-there are too many no prints and plenty new discoveries ahead.

the St Louis Drum find alone added 10% to the total list of known Drums. In 98 there were 29 known Drums-today the total is around 130.

OK guys....I thought we had already discussed this....however, let's try again.

The gist of this quiz was to set a number on the actual (confirmed) front/back combos known to date.
Not the theoretical number which approaches 7000 cards. There are many T206 NO-PRINTS that must
be considered.

For starters......your......
"American Beauty - Series 460 - Factory 42 - District 4 - State NC – 109 Cards"....is not factual for the
following two reasons:
1st......There are not 109 possibilities, there are 103. The 6-super print were not printed with AB 460
backs (these 6 cards exist with AB 350 with frame backs).
2nd......Approx. 1/2 of the cards (55) from the 350/460 series do not exist with AB 460 backs. There-
fore, American Litho. printed approx. 75 cards with the AB 460 back.

Continuing......your......
"American Beauty (With Frame) - Series 350 - Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA – 213 Cards"

It has been confirmed that only 192 cards have been printed with the AB 350 (frame)) back.

Furthermore......your......

"Sovereign - Series 350 - Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA – 413 Cards"....is actually 285 cards

"El Principe De Gales - Factory 17 - District 2 - State VA – 470 Cards"....is actually approx. 300 cards

"Lenox (Black) - Factory 30 - District 2 - State NY – 110 Cards".....is actually approx. 67 cards

"Lenox (Brown) - Factory 30 - District 2 - State NY – 113 Cards".....is actually approx. 2 cards

"Hindu (Red) - Factory 649 - District 1 - State NY – 113 Cards".....is actually approx. 44 cards

I could provide you actual numbers for all 36 of the T-backs. But by now, with these 7 examples, I hope
I've made my point.

Remember, the toughest challenge anyone has that considers completing any of the T-brand sub-sets,
or a more ambitious master set, is to determine what cards were NOT PRINTED. And, believe me, this is
no minor task.

Does that mean I don't win?

To all those interested : go to: oldcardboard.com , click "T-Cards", Click "T206 White Borders", go to bottom and Click "Inside T206". This was last updated by Scot Reader in May, 2009. Make a copy, it's a great resource.

My question is: What additions , if any, have been made since this publication of May, 2009 ?

If anyone has any of the card backs that are not listed in this reference then please post andprovide information and scan on this thread.

Not so long ago I informed Scot about this card that I came across.

Joss (pitching) SC 460/42 no overstrike

[Rob D.]

Love the card. Love the sig.

[Jantz]

Thanks Rob

Just wish I would have bid/won that Joss. I didn't notice the back until after the auction had ended.

By the way, I love your sig line too.
