So, you have completed a 208-card set. Your T205 challenge is over with. Or, is it ? No, it's not....the "hunt" must continue, as you become obsessed
with the various T205 backs.
This occurred to me with the T206's many years ago, when I realized a pattern of backs that I refer to as the A-B-C-D connection. Check out this link
for more info on this sub-set. And, for example, here is my A-B-C-D "quadruplicate" sub-set of my favorite T206 Minor Leaguer....Frank Delahanty


.



Recently, I started similar A-B-C-D sub-sets for these four T205 guys.


.


I currently have the AB's for these guys....and, the additional backs shown here. Any help in acquiring the remaining Broad Leaf, Cycle. and Drum
backs to complete the A-B-C-D sub-sets of these 4 subjects is greatly appreciated.

Bergen & Wolter are confirmed with Drum. Huggins & Lobert have yet to be found with the Drum back. However, I firmly believe that they will be.


Hey guys......this is just a alternative sport in the fun of collecting Tobacco cards that I thought may interest some of you.

Hey Ted
Small world. That Wolter Drum used to be my type for the mfg for many years. Nice research and thanks for sharing!! I have shown these so often folks will think they are commoners....

[tedzan]

That's pretty cool.....it is a small world.

So, maybe your Johnson Hindu will soon be mine

Some Net54 collectors of T205 cards have in the past complained that there are too many threads on T206's
and very few threads regarding T205 cards. Well, I started this thread in order to "gin up" some interesting
discussions on these cards.
Apparently, there does not seem to be any interest in my suggested "Quadruplicate" sub-sets. So let's switch
over to posting T205 printing errors. Perhaps, that may keep this thread active.

I'll start with my Eddie Collins card with a mis-printed back.

What is quite interesting about this particular card is that it reveals to us that this Collins card was Double-
Printed (horizontally) on its sheet.

OK guys.....how's about showing and/or telling us of your T205 anomalies.....or anything T205.
