PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 find....Tinker (bat off shoulder) is for real

[dog*dirt]

It's always nice to talk with you Ted, and I have enjoyed seeing you set up in Ephrata the last few years.

I did pick up the Tinker plus 11 more P42 cards, they all were cut (trimmed) in a similar fashion. The only one that would grade numerically was a Leach that is in vg condition. It was just a lucky find.

You have a few T205s I would not mind in my collection

In my view, there is no reason to think that Tinker was not part of normal P42 production. There is just a bell curve that is part of our everyday existence and which accounts for the elusivity of Tinker P42, which is a tough F/B combo to start with. Anyway, glad that Tinker is confirmed (even in "A") and kudos to those who were part of the discovery. It was a long time coming.

I enjoy setting up at the show in Ephrata (Lancaster County, PA). This show is reminiscent of the shows in the 1970's and 1980's.
A lot of serious collectors attend with wantlists to complete their sets. And, they love to spend hours talking BB cards.

You and I have made some nice T206 deals at this show.

Take care, my friend.
