Same here. That was the last one I needed for my set. I thought it was by far the toughest in the set. It was really tough in the pre-internet days.

Experienced the same with Kling/Cole. I did not collect the entire set, just certain players and abandoned it for imagery reasons before I ever landed the Kling. This thread should get some hype behind them.

Cliff,

Nice thread.

Now, if you really wanted to take on a T201 project regarding the different Factory Numbers then you could track ebay (there's always a lot of T201s for sale) and come up with a distribution of the different Factory Numbers.

What would you say the distribution is? Are there (5) Factory 649 for every Factory 30 back?

How many people went to ebay after reading this thread to see how many Factory 30 backs there were and how many looked for a Kling/Cole Factory 30 T201?

I've always liked the T201 set because it provides a beginning collector with a realistic chance of completing a "T" card set.

Good questions. Unfortunately any survey will be skewed by the number of cards represented outside of eBay. Did a quick review of the cards I hold, around 62 purchased irregardless of backs , or factory number. Ten cards are F30, so around six to one?

You gotta start somewhere...

I just checked the 40 cards I have from this set. Of the 40, all purchased with no knowledge of the factory designation, six of them are from Factory 30. Sadly, neither of them are my Cole/Kling or Lord/Daugherty.

Nice find!

I myself never collected the t201 set but actually am going to start it this upcoming year. I go to local shows often so I will def keep my eyes peeled. I agree with a lot of people on here that this set doesn't get the respect that's due. Hopefully one day it will.
