My 1 Drum back is Hoblitzell

I know I am hijacking the thread a bit so dispensations asked. The subject of Drum backs got me to thinking about T206 Drum reverses and the best one I ever owned (never held a T205 Drum, ever.) It was a Griffith batting PSA 7 with beautiful violet coloring on the Drum back. (A tear rolls down the author's cheek as he reminisces.) It has long gone into some black hole when I closed down Full Count in 2003 and auctioned off the inventory through Mastro. Any T206 Drum stories?

At the Willow Grove (PA) Show in 1985, a dealer had 4 nice looking T206 DRUM cards for sale. He was selling them for $100 apiece. I offered him $350 for all four.

He declined my offer. I thought about it, and returned to his table a few hours later......the DRUM's were already sold.

What a missed opportunity ! ! ! !

Picked up these two recently, not new discoveries, but still Drum backs and more affordable than T206...

Thanks for posting your DRUM's.

And, you are certainly correct....T205 DRUM's are certainly more reasonably priced than T206 DRUM's.

That's interesting. I'd have thought they'd have more St. Louis players. I wonder if getting a batch with few local players made the promotion fail and caused them not to pursue doing more?

The DRUM roster of the T206 set has only 10 subjects from St Louis teams.

Furthermore, if you include T206 guys from Kansas City....there are 3 more.

So, it appears that the Factory location and the marketing locale of the DRUM cigarettes
is essentially unrelated to the guys American Litho chose to print cards with DRUM backs.

So, my point is that it's not unusual to see so few St Louis guys with DRUM backs in the T205 set.
