Johnny, that full-size AB Konetchy is amazing!!

[mrvster]

for American Beauties, T206, old cardboard , and most of all GREAT collectors and friends like I have met on this board!

many of my American beauties were graciously given to me by true collectors from this board....GOD BLESS YOU GUYS! you know who you are...

you collectors are the "true American beauties"

Beig and your wife....congrats on a great collection, I hope to see more of them!! thanks for continuing to share....and ENJOY!

btw.....we would love to have you and your wife continue to enjoy net54....you guys will love it here!

my true passion is T206 printer's scrap, or the "Wagner"

I am johnny, and I am a T206 NUT

[mrvster]

you are so sharp! thanks! I think it's a "tweener" ab scrap.....was wondering who would notice first....

btw...the konetchy is TOUGH! hint...hint....and the conroy, and some other commons....

I'm talking tuf!......there is a print connection between DRUM and ab 350 no frame.....Tim and Jim maybe able to elaborate....Tim is still cracking the code....these cards have flown under the radar

konetchy-oversize, hand cut, has a wet stack on front....very cool and weird/ odd.....a true beauty and "hole" filler....

almost have the set complete, just magee and wajo to go!

THANKS FOR THE BREAKDOWN!

we are researchers.....that % breakdown seems to reflect their "rarity"

t206resource lists the rarity in back scarcity....

ab 460 rarest! #13

ab 350 rarer #15

ab 350 frame rare #21

from the back rarity from 1-39 approximately

1909-1911 t206 were printed.....ab 460's printed in 1911( last print group).....1910 ab 350 frame and no frame printed second print group 350 subjects......

ab 350 nf 37 possible cards

ab 350 frame - 190 possible

ab 460 nf - 75 possible


all taken info from the resource.....

as far as I know, no one has completed any of them yet

Ted z is almost complete on ab 460

I'm 2 cards short on ab 350 nf...


ANYONE ELSE ATTEMPT THESE SETS???

[mrvster]

btw....the Sheckard is SEXY

I love the "beaters" as you can see.....I just love the history and examples....

it's a true love of cardboard, or a problem for me

we learn from each other here....kinda like a "cardboard family" here

we also try to protect each other from scams and losers

[mrvster]

this Sheckard scan is for you! one of the more "common" ab 460 , but has a very "rare" green print/crop mark on the back(the green line in the middle)...

these "small" things on a card can some times bring a big "premium"

[Bieg]

Please tell us how many 460 and 350 frame and no frames! we love to know

Out of 105 American Beauty backed T206s there are

54 - 350 Frame

28 - 350 No Frame

23 - 460

What is the significance of this? Different years in the set?

[Bieg]

This is the worst card in the whole collection fortunately it is the ONLY one like this;

T205 Sheckard, James - Hassan Back-001.jpg

As you can plainly see the photography is "warts and all"
