Obviously you are ignoring the print groups and you are talking like it is 3 or 4 years ago. We have made some breakthrough discoveries since then and when you understand the print groups I hope we can have an intelligent discussion about the set.

Jim, I have looked at the the print group charts on the t206 site. Is there a section where I can read about the significance of the print groups and what constitutes a T206 card? I was not around 2, 3 or 4 years ago as I took an 8 year break from the hobby.

Did Jefferson Burdick understand the concept of the print groups? I assume he grouped the 3 coupon backs as a regional issue and labeled them as best he could.

Theo,

That is a great collection. Hope the buyer keeps it intact and goes for the rest of the Polar Bear set.

Rob

the backs cross over print groups and for a very long time we looked for the answers to the set by examining the backs. That is why the set was so difficult to understand. The answers are in the fronts.



Go to the index page and you will find the section that explains each print group. Each time a print group stopped and a new one began the previous one was not brought back at any point and printed again.

Jim,

Thanks for the reply.

How do the Piedmont 350 cards contain the southern league cards and the print group 2 or 350 only cards? if I understood correctly, you were saying that T213-1 cannot contain both and be considered a T206 because of the time frame.

Sorry guys, but I cannot accept this claim......"Each time a print group stopped and a new one began the previous one was not brought back at any point and printed again."

As the often stated adage goes.....a picture is worth at least 1000 words.....so, my following pictures illustrate the fallacy of the above claim.....Please take notice of the
wide spread of the dates of issue.

American Lithographic used and re-used their printing plates during the entire production period (1909 - 1919) of of their various White-Bordered sets.



............................. 1911 .......................................... late 1909/early 1910 ................. late 1909/early 1910 ................ late 1910/early 1911 ............................ 1910






........... Spring 1910 ................... Spring 1910 ...................... Spring 1910 .................... Summer 1910 .................. Summer/Fall 1910

.............. Spring 1910 ................... T213-3 .......... 1919 ................................ Summer 1910 ................................... 1911 .......................................... 1910





T214 ................ 1915 ..................




Note that the RED CROSS (T215-1) set, circa 1910-1912, includes the White Cap Matty from the 150/350 series initially printed in 1909.

Do we know 100% ALC printed the T213-3s?

We're discussing how the T206 set was produced and whether T213-1 was part of that. We know all of those other sets reused T206 images later.

At no time during the production of the T206 set was a group discontinued and then brought back.

The super print subjects were introduced midway through print group 2 and were printed continuously until the end of the T206 set. They were never discontinued and then brought back.

Furthermore, more illustrations to support my contention............





.... Summer 1910 ................ 1914 ......................... 1910 ..................... 1910/1911 .................... 1910 ..................... 1910/1911 ............... Summer 1910



ON A MORE MEANINGFUL NOTE......

In 1905, John McGraw made Donlin the Captain of the New York Giants....and, Mike enjoyed his best season, batting a career-high .356, with 216 Hits. He led
the NL with 124 Runs. Mike's lifetime BA = .333 and had he taken his BB career more seriously.... "he would have been a contender" ....for the Hall of Fame.

Hey Guys....you can catch "Turkey" Mike on the TCM Channel all this week, as they are featuring many of the old Silent Movies. Donlin appeared in 65 movies
from 1914 - 1933. Including, the classic "The General" and, the 1927 popular BB movie...."Slide Kelly Slide".

I have no beef here...but i dont think t213-3 was printed with the same plates as t206? Maybe a copy of an older plate/image?
