Are new T206's an impossibility???

[2dueces]

A Cobb throwing, now that'd be a horse of a different color.

One the same note. Is it possible that a new T206 front could surface after all these years? I know that the odds are incredibly small. Uncataloged cards surface every year but usually not from a set so highly collected as T206's. Fun to think of the possibility.

Rhett, I always wondered about that too. Recruit, Hustler, Pan Handle, Scrap Iron, Sub Rosa - all of these companies made T206 size non sports cards. All of these companies issued cards in the 1910-1913 time frame. Will a baseball player from one of these brands come to light?

I think you raise an important question about the nature of over-zealous skepticism, one that has largely been ignored in the responses. I'm sure there are people who won't post any scans on here because they have seen what has happened in the past. This forum has been an excellent hobby watchdog at times, but there have also been times when people are so anxious to find something wrong that off-base, uninformed, and misplaced claims have denigrated perfectly good cards. A middle way is most appropriate in my opinion.

Rick, the Hustler brand was actually carried on the very earliest lists ever made of the different T206 backs. It was likely just an error, where soomeone had mistakenly listed Hustler w/ the possible T206 backs instead of T59. BUT it would be pretty cool if a find of legit Hustler T206 were to surface someday!

It was in the 1939 US Card Catalog as a T206 back as well: http://www.network54.com/Forum/52660...Burdick+images

I am keeping my eye out for a T206 Joe Jackson (sliding) with a Drum back...

I think my great grandfather had one. They found it buried in an old chest inside an attic wall.

Thanks Jim, I guess that is what I was getting at. I am surprised that some auction houses still get away with the "newly discovered" tag with some cards and memorabilia. with lesser known items it still flies. That is why I was wondering what the response would be if a new back for an existing player were to surface or God forbid a new player from a set like the monster.

By the way after starting this thread coincidentally I just found a Joe Jackson Sweet Cap in my Grandfathers attic.

Is it the "stirrup" or "no-stirrup" version?
