The mystique of the T206 set's 350/460 series.....Show us your cards

[tedzan]

I forgot to include in my prior post this unique UZIT Cobb.


OK guys,

You may think this card is way-out......however, consider this......Cobb is actually quoted as having said...... "Baseball was like War"......therefore......

C'mon Ted, that's not a real back on that Cobb.

Pete fooled me with some Pirate backs last year. I'm not falling for that again.

[tedzan]

I am simply trying to make a point with that picture. Some years ago I read where Cobb considered that playing Baseball was like "War".

And as we know from American Litho (ALC) ledger documents that the T206 UZIT cards and T80 UZIT cards were printed simultaneously.
Furthermore, a T206 UZIT and a T80 UZIT were inserted in the same Cigarette pack (circa Feb 1911).

Given all this, what is the probability that an ALC printer accidently printed the Military Series (UZIT) backs on T206's ? ?

I would say that my far-fetched Cobb card....while it appears very unusual....is not really that impossible.


Some of the nicer T80 cards in my collection wit UZIT or LENOX backs.




Looking forward to seeing you at the National in a few weeks.

Here's one for you Ted

[tedzan]

That is one very sharp looking T206 "Turkey Mike". Along with an EPDG back to boot. Thanks for posting.

Hey good buddy, am I going to see you in Chicago at the end of this month ?
