The various Tobacco Factory's and their associated T206 T-brand's

[tedzan]

Great stuff......excellent research.

Thanks for posting this elaborate listing of Non-Sports sets issued within (and around) the timeline of the T206's.
It reinforces the point I was making in Post #11 in this thread.

Double post.

[tedzan]

The T215 cards were printed at American Lithographic in NYC. And shipped to the Lorillard plant (Factory #10) in Jersey City (NJ), and inserted in the Red Cross tobacco products.

A large find of Red Cross cards occurred some years back in the Louisiana area.


I'm not suggesting here that the T215-1 set should be classified as part of the T206 set (although the 96 cards in this set are virtually identical to their T206 "cousins"). Since the
timeline on these T215's spans 1910 - 1912, there are some team changes from their T206 counterparts. But, the majority of the T215's are the same as the T206's.

So guys, don't get into a tizzy over this inclusion on this thread.

Interesting research as usual, Ted. I was looking at my T53 set (I have 49 of 50 cards). Of my 49 cards only 1 is a Factory 30 and the remaining 48 are Factory 649. Do you know if the Factory 30 cards are actually that much more scarce than the 649s?

The T53 Cowboys cards were printed with HASSAN backs. The majority of their HASSAN backs are Factory #649.

Furthermore, the majority HASSAN backs printed on T202's and T205's are also Factory #649.

I also have 49 T53s, though I think one is a duplicate. Six of mine are Factory 30, 43 are Factory 649.

Get in in a tizzy? It's baseball cards.. We can always agree to disagree and discuss things Ted.

Not entirely on point, but here is some associated T206 packaging...

[wonkaticket]

That's very impressive Jon!

[tedzan]

An amazing array of T-brand packs.

Thanks for displaying them....they are a perfect fit for a thread like this one.
