The mystique of the SOVEREIGN 350 "apple green" cards......Show us your green apples

[tedzan]

I was asked.....why only 402 (different) cards in a complete SOVEREIGN set ? After all, SOVEREIGN is a major T206 brand.

The anwer is simple, there are exactly 122 subjects that were NOT printed with the SOVEREIGN advertisement.

So, for you set collectors on this forum....try the challenge of the SOVEREIGN set, here is the 402 card Checklist............

Thanks for posting the T205 list.

The biggest challenge I had in putting together this SOVEREIGN set was determining the SOVEREIGN NO-PRINTS (N-P). The subjects I refer to as the "Big Seven"
and the 48 Southern Leaguers were obvious N-P. By November 2007, I was confident I had figured out the remaining subjects that American Litho. did NOT print
with the SOVEREIGN back. So, I published my list of 122 subjects.

Seven years have transpired since then....and, it certainly appears that my N-P list has withstood the test of time. These 122 NO-PRINTS are identified here......


The "BIG SEVEN" NO-PRINTS......

Demmitt (St Louis American)
J. Doyle (N.Y. Nat'L)

Hope you don't mind Ted, but the only thing I can contribute to this thread is a Sovereign with a crop line.

Your inputs are always welcome.

I'm still looking for 2 (different) name cards from the 350/460 series. Especially with SOVEREIGN backs.

Have you seen any lately ?

Please contact me if you do.


Best regards good buddy,

[tedzan]

Hey guys,

One more try in asking for any Same Name or Dual Name cards from the 350/460 series. I have not seen any. So, I'm looking to fellow collectors of these types
of T206's [Chris Browne, Jantz, Johnny V, Doug (Phillies*phan), etc.] to chime in here with some interesting stuff. Especially any cards with SOVEREIGN 350 apple
green backs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ted

I've seen quite a few two same name T206s from the 350-460 series, but never a two different name from the 350-460 series.

Can't recall ever seeing a two same namer with an apple green Sovereign back either, I do have scans of two forest green Sovereigns.

Here is a few.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Until I read this thread I didn't understand what an "apple green" Sovereign looked like.
