Great stuff David.
The checklist indicates that many of the Elite 150/350 subjects were thought at the time to be 150-only subjects, which is unsurprising given how hard they are to find today with Piedmont 350. Also, several false positives in this checklist seem to have spilled over to Heitman's a few decades later -- such as Ames (Hands at Chest), Doyle (Throwing) and Latham with 350 backs. I suppose it's possible that these f/b combos existed circa 1940 and were later lost or destroyed but that seems unlikely. Last edited by sreader3; 05-20-2017 at 12:21 AM.

or pose, we have seen many of these errors in f/b surveys. With the Ames I have often thought that someone got him mixed up with Matty (White Cap), Similar pose and the same team. Ames HAC.jpg

His list of 521) White border backs includes " Hustler". What is that?
Oops, should have read further.... very interesting stuff and seems to close the door on the Wagner issue regarding his view on smoking and his T206 rareity Last edited by Stonepony; 05-20-2017 at 09:05 AM. Reason: poorly attentive

Just a quick followup to this post from last month. In the original post, I included part of a February 1, 1943 Card Collector's Bulletin article by Jefferson Burdick on tobacco card values, in which he gave values of $2 for T206 Plank and Wagner, and 15 cents for Southern Leaguers. I said that as far as I knew, this was the first time anybody had given values for those cards in print, but I was wrong. I had overlooked a small item in the August 1, 1941 CCB (see the bottom of the page shown below), in which Burdick announced that this issue would contain the last part of his checklist of the white-bordered baseball cards (then #521, now T206), and added that Plank and Wagner were going for 50 cents to $1, and Southern Leaguers were going for 5 to 10 cents. So it appears that those cards had risen significantly in value by 1943, in line with the general rise in card prices during World War II, as I've written about elsewhere.
