T206 Reference / Reflections.....Tuesday Nite Trivia

[Kawika]

Tremendous run, Sean. Merkle Throwing is one of my favorite T206 poses; he makes playing first base look easy.

[Sean]

Thanks David. I'm so glad that you posted. I had forgotten that I have one of those as well:

Hey Sean

Great Merkle display......thanks for posting them.

I counted 14 different T206 backs for your Merkle run. This appears to me to be Merkle's complete T206 run......Yes or No ?

YES. We've talked about the EPDG being possible, but I don't believe that Merkle was produced with this back.

I am missing the Red Cross Merkle, but that's a Type-2, so not a T206.

Hey Sean

This 460-only series Merkle is an EPDG No-Print. My research indicates that EPDG and PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42 are Mutually-Exclusive backs in the 460-only series cards.
And, you have the PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42 Merkle.

So I never have to worry about an EPDG showing up.

Listed here are the 9 subjects in the 460-only series printed with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42 backs. My theory (which has stood
the test of time) is PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42 and El PRINCIPE de GALES cards are Mutually-Exclusive in the 460-only series.

So, I guarantee you that you need not search for a Merkle with an EPDG back.
