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

[Rhotchkiss]

Hi Ted, I hope all is well.

Totally off-topic, so please forgive me. I notice lately on ebay there are many Brown Hindus and Black Lenox (what is plural of Lenox??), that have paper loss on the back from where it seems the cards we glued to an album. My gut is that many of these cards must have come from the same collection, because its just too coincidental that this many of these backs are around at the same time, all with back damage. So, two questions:

1. Was there ever a large find of Broen Hindus or Black Lenox that all had back damage?

2. Were Brown Hindus and Black Lenox only released in certain parts of the country (like I think Drum and Nadja (in e cards) was St. Louis?

#1......Most LENOX cards that I have, or have seen, don't have back damage.
Brown HIMDU cards occasionally are found with back damage. Shown here is
the last remaining one I have from a lot of brown HINDU's with back damage
that I picked up some years ago.

#2.....Factory #30 in New York manufactured the LENOX brand. LENOX brand
tobacco products were mainly marketed in the New York area & New England.

Continuing on with the BROAD LEAF 350 (BL 350) theme....certain T206's with BL 350 backs are extremely rare. Much more rare than
a good majority of the T206's with the BL 350 backs. An excellent example of this is my blue Chase BL 350 card. I traded for this card
in 1990 with my old buddy, Ralph. Ralph was great at finding rare T206 front/back combos in his neck of the woods (the Great Smoky
Mountains region).

This BL 350 blue Chase card was the only known one for many years. It's my understanding that another one was recently discovered.
Although, I have not seen it yet. Furthermore, PSA and SGC pop reports do not indicate any blue Chase / BL 350 cards graded.





If a DRUM card of Mr. Chase ever shows up, I will have a chance to complete this A-B-C-C-D sub-set.


The following 13 subjects have yet to be confirmed with BL 350 backs. I expect these cards will eventually be discovered.

Atz
Brashear
Carr
Chase (dark cap)
Cobb (red portrait)
Easterly
Ferguson
Mathewson (dark cap)
McGann
Pickering
Schlafly
Schmidt (portrait)
Stephens


So, come on guys, show-off your BL 350 cards. And perhaps, some one on this forum may come up with one of these missing 13 guys.

Hi Pat
Thanks for posting the BROAD LEAF 350 blue Chase cards.

But, I don't see these two cards listed in the PSA pop report data ? ?

I recently found a Frank Chance portrait yellow Broad Leaf 350 in a collection purchased. It is at PSA right now. Grade should have popped already, still waiting. PSA pop report shows only 1 ever graded.
