A Summer Gift - and I am tired of looking - Honus Wagner

C, I cannot believe all the great work you did putting together the verticals. Very exciting. I think we should try to put together the 150 series sheets, using only the Sweet Caporal and Piedmont 150 series verticals that have been found, and incorporating the horizontal 150s, and test strip 150s. For the 150 series, only talking about 75 vertical sets of 2 cards. horizontal will be more challenging. But hopefully there will be overlap help. I would propose 4 top rows and 4 bottom, but I understand others have proposed 3 top rows and 3 bottom, and think both 8 and 6 row arguments are reasonable. though I would lean toward 4 each because of the great numbers of same card verticals versus dual player verticals.

And then someone's gotta print them.

To start (and maybe to end for the time being), we might compile a proposed 34-different-card sheet (136 cards) - a first T-206 sheet - containing the Wagner, Magie error, put Plank in, do the best we can.

Updated chart, with regard to the card above Bowerman.

[BigJJ]

According to T-206 Resource, the cards that were issued only as part of the 150 series, and may have been above Bowerman, if not Chance (Red), are:

Ames, Red (Hands At Chest)
Brown, George (Chicago)
Brown, Mordecai (Cubs On Shirt)
Burch, Al (Batting)
Donlin, Mike (Fielding)
Doyle, Larry (Throwing)
Evers, Johnny (Cubs On Shirt - Blue Sky)
Pattee, Harry
Pelty, Barney (Horizontal)
Powers, Mike
Reulbach, Ed (Glove Showing)

(Wagner and Magie error as well were 150 series only, but have been accounted for here)

List of 150 series cards only - added above.

Schulte should really be on that list, there's only one copy with a 350 back. I'm thinking that's actually technically a wrongback, in that it was never intended to come with 350 but a sheet or two got used and released somehow.
