As I mentioned before, there is so much info that I can't seem to get a good, solid grip on it all. One question I had is, on the SLers, are there factory variations as well as the three (or two) brand variations?
Any info is greatly appreciated and thank you for sharing all of this information that you've put together! -kin Quote:

Hi Kin
I appreciate your kind compliments. The answer to your question is...... OLD MILL and PIEDMONT are Factory #25. HINDU is Factory #649. Kin, it's a complicated set, so feel free to email me regarding any questions you have...... tedzan11@comcast.net TED Z . |

Thank you so much, Ted. I'm working on the T36 set and in it, each card has a Hassan and Mecca back, and each of those has a Factory 30 and a Factory 649 back. Wasn't sure if that might be the case on these.

Hi Kin K. No, it's not the case on the Southern League T206 cards. The T36 (Auto Drivers) cards were printed and issued approx. the same time the T201 and T202 BB cards were. The MECCA and HASSAN backs on these BB cards, respectively, have both the Factory #30 and a Factory #649 backs. My experience in completing the T201 set (and still working on the T202 set) has been that the Factory #649 backs are more plentiful than the Factory #30 backs. Is this difference also true for your T36 cards ? TED Z . |

Ted,
The sample size of cards that I've been able to verify and analyze is very small. Sometimes I can't see the back scans to verify that aspect. In the Huggins & Scott auction that ended this week, there was a complete set but only the fronts were pictured. What I've found so far is Mecca 30 backs being the most plentiful. The other three brand/factory combinations have similar numbers. I'm not confident this will hold up, as I've been looking into this for less than two years. Thanks again for your great, informative thread! -kin Quote:

Surveys and new theory's were explored, resulting in 363 posts which you'll find very interesting and informative. The El Principe de Gales (EPDG) brand dates back to 1850's. Its founder, Vicente Martínez Ybor, started producing Cigars in Havana, Cuba. In 1869, he fled from Cuba to Key West, Florida where he continued manufacturing EPDG cigars. In 1885, he moved to Tampa, FL where he built a larger factory which produced his EPDG cigars. Note that the EPDG cigarettes were manufactured at Factory #17 in Virginia.

Thanks for putting this back on the map......I have a couple of edits for you.
1. Your 460-only Series says 37 subjects, but only 36 are listed. Harry Howell hands at waist is missing from your list. 2. Steinfeldt portrait is in the 150/350 series and you have him listed in both the 150/350 series and the 350/460 series. So I think your count for the 350/460 series should be 56 subjects, not 57. 3. So the total number of subjects from your list would be 284 instead of 285. Back to the players themselves. Of the 284 subjects from your list, all but 3 have graded examples in the SGC and PSA pop charts. They are Hunky Shaw, Jim Pastorius, and Ed Willett. For the rest of the subjects, they have a minimum of 3 graded examples. My first instinct is to say they don't exist, but I've been proven wrong in the past. I would love to see an example of these guys, so if anyone has one, lets see them! I'd also point out the uniqueness of the Elite 11 with EPDG backs which is a fun subject. After having collected EPDGs for the last few years, I would say they are not any tougher to find than a regular EPDG, with a few exceptions. As an example, I've owned 4 different Tom Jones EPDG cards. Knowing the difficulty finding these subjects with Piedmont 350 backs, I support a theory that the EPDGs were printed before the Piedmont 350's. Pat R, who is awesome, had a great thread about this using print defects in comparing 150/350 subjects. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=231030 I haven't updated my collage in a while, but I'm sitting at 223 unique EPDG's at this point. Here's my first 214.

I did a bit of research, and am fairly confident that Factory 17 was in Richmond, VA, on "Tobacco Row". In an article written Sep 12, 1908, in Tobacco Leaf, Volume 45, Page 32, it mentions this: "The Federal Cigar Co's plant, which recently closed down several weeks ago, has resumed work. This plant was formerly known as the Whitlock branch of the American Cigar Co. Here Beaux Arts, a little cigar, are made as well as El Principe cigarettes and other brands." El Principe De Gales is also mentioned by name in full, a bit earlier in the article. I have not yet found anything which specifically says that the P. Whitlock Branch of ATC is Factory 17, just that the branch was in Richmond and produced EDPG.

Hi Kin,
Thanks for the nice words. As Ted says there are just the three brand/factory combos for southern leaguers. There is a footnote, however. A handful of southern leaguer cards having the Old Mill Southern back were printed in brown ink. These cards are all hand-cut i.e. scrap. Moreover, a couple of these Brown Old Mill Southerns (Greminger comes to mind) weirdly have a red Factory 649 overstrike stamp on them. If you search the Net54 archives you will find an image of the "freak" Greminger Brown Old Mill Southern Factory 649 Overstrike card somewhere.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 350/460 series subjects In a conversation with David Hall at the National talking T206's, one topic was regarding the recent find of the 350/460 cards with SWEET CAPORAL 460 Factory #30 backs. These cards were never issued in cigarette packs at Factory #30 (NYC). Instead, American Lithographic overprinted them with the Factory #42 stamp and shipped them to Factory #42 (Durham, NC). ![]() It's my understanding that these cards in David's set were originally on a sheet. Unfortunately, the owner of this sheet hand-cut them. Anyhow, I was curious and asked David to email me a list of them. And, here is David's list...... 28 Hand-Cut (Not Issued) Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory 30 cards Berger, Heinie Bradley, Bill (With Bat) Burch, Al (Fielding) Cobb, Ty (Bat Off Shoulder) Conroy, Wid (With Bat) Crawford, Sam (With Bat) Jennings, Hughie (One Hand Showing) Jennings, Hughie (Two Hands Showing) Jordan, Tim (Batting) Lajoie, Nap (With Bat) Lake, Joe (St. Louis - No Ball) Leach, Tommy (Bending Over) Leifield, Lefty (Batting) Manning, Rube (Pitching) McQuillan, George (With Bat) Mullin, George (With Bat) Overall, Orval (Hand At Face Level) Pelty, Barney (Vertical) Pfeister, Jake (Throwing) Smith, Frank (Chicago & Boston) Steinfeldt, Harry (With Bat) Tinker, Joe (Bat Off Shoulder) Wagner, Heinie (Bat On Right Shoulder) White, Doc (Pitching) Very, very interesting, in that this sheet comprising of these 28 cards coincides exactly with my theory regarding the 28 subjects which I refer to as "Group B" (350/460 series).

Hey Ted, sorry to go off-topic, but I have a timeline question about T214s and T213s. I noticed that the Bresnahan appears as a T213 Type-2 with the Chicago Cubs. He appears as well with the Toledo team, presumably in a later print run of Type-2 Coupons. I've always read that these were printed in 1914. But the T214 Bresnahan, printed in 1915 still lists him with Chicago. Then in 1919 the Coupon Type-3s also show Bresnahan with Toledo.
Does this mean that there was a second print run of Type-2s that was later than the 1915 printing of T214s? You've probably addressed this somewhere before, but I can't find it. Here are the cards that I mentioned: scan0009.jpg scan0010.jpg |

PSA has a special section in their pop reports for no prints that include the SC350-460/30's. I sent David an email several months ago about three that were missing from the list which are Conroy (With Bat), Lake (No Ball) and Leach (Bending Over) but I never heard back from him. The next time you speak to him can you ask him to have them update this list for accuracy to include these three and the Lajoie that he has. https://www.psacard.com/pop/t206/?by...f=0#NoPrintPop img340 - Copy.jpg Conroy (bat) Group.jpgConroy (bat) Back Group.jpg Lake (no ball) Group_.jpgLake (no ball) Back Group_.jpg Leach [1].jpgLeach Back [1].jpg |

You mention a Group B in Post 181, are these the only 28 with this back or are there others, in another group. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi The 350/460 series comprises of 63 subjects. Towards the end of the T206 production (circa..early 1911), American Lithographic divided these cards into the 2 print groups (which I've designated as Group A and Group B)...... Group A . ![]() ![]() ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group B ![]() ![]() All 63 of these cards were printed with the SWEET CAP, Factory #30 backs. But, they were NEVER issued to Factory #30 in New York to be inserted into cigarette packs. Instead, they were stamped with Factory #42 overprints and shipped to the Liggett & Myers plant in Durham, NC. This change was done by ATC in anticipation of their divestiture in 1911. Apparently, a recent find of a sheet (or several sheets) containing these 28 subjects (Group B) was discovered and (unfortunately) it was cut into individual cards. Some years ago, a "scrap" sheet containing the 35 subjects in Group A was discovered with SWEET CAP, Factory #30 backs. Unfortunately, it was cut into individual cards. This "proof" card of Johnson is an example of the 35 cards that were on the Group A sheet...... . ![]() Also, check-out Posts #4, 5, and 8 in this thread for more info regarding the 350/460 series cards.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Back in 1980, when Bill Heitman published his famous book "the Monster", red HINDU cards very virtually unknown. The red HINDU back is not mentioned in "The Monster". My understanding is that only a half a dozen of these very rare cards were known back in the 1970's, and T206 collectors did not really know what to make of them. Since then, red HINDU cards have "trickled out of the woodwork". In recent years, a find of 13 red HINDU cards occurred in Texas. Ten of these 13 cards are subjects in the 460-only series Exclusive 12 group. The red HINDU's in the 350/460 series are considerably more difficult to find than the Exclusive 12 guys with red HINDU. For you rare back collectors here are factors (rules) to keep in mind when you are chasing after certain T206 front/back combos...... In the 350/460 series......the red HINDU cards are "matched pairs" with the BROAD LEAF 460 cards (printed circa..late 1910). Furthermore, T206's with these backs are mutually-exclusive with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and UZIT cards (printed early 1911). This hypothesis was first presented on this forum in April 2010 in this fascinating thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=122474&page=2 This mutually-exclusive factor is the result of American Lithographic dividing the 63 subjects in the 350/460 series into 2 print groups (at the end of their T206 production. Circa..late 1910 > early 1911. I have designated these 2 print groups as Group A and Group B. The red HINDU's and BROAD LEAF 460 backs were printed on these subjects in Group A. Group A . ![]() ![]() ![]() Checklist…...total = 44 To date, 32 subjects have been confirmed with the red HINDU back in the 350/460 series. Baker Bender (no trees) M.

I expect all three will eventually be found. Ames (hands above head) Mathewson (dark cap) Reulbach (no glove) 460-only series......Exclusive 12 These 12 confirmed subjects are the only red HINDU cards in the 460-only series.
