Super Rare Fact 25 and 30 sheet number

25 backs are pretty scarce. Ty Cobb Red graded by PSA. 10, 25 backs, compared to 17 Cobb backs.

The 2nd hardest back for my tinker back run was a 350, 25 (Mac, thanks again for hooking me up). Since I got mine about 1.5 years ago, I have only seen one other (although I haven�t been too actively looking), and of course it�s on eBay right now....

I still need the darn AB 460. It�s amazing how some backs are just so damn hard in certain player-fronts.

As an aside, I bought the Tinker Uzit first and Adam G sold me his Pied fact 42, which is nothing short of impossible, so I bet I was lucky and there are harder Tinker bat off combos than SC 350, 25. But the fact 25 can be a real pain in the ass sometimes!

sc factory #25 in either 350 or the 460 are extremely tough.....it took years to even confirm the 350 25's.... I don't know why, every #25 from sweet cap are very tough......they are hidden tuffies not many know about....

The sheet numbers (30's) are hard enough.....only a few dozen examples I have seen.....

I started collecting the sheet #30's in 2001 ....I bought a few from scott forrest, found a few on ebay.....took a few years, I wound up with about 6 different.....I always heard that there were factory 25's out there, but I had never seen one in person....obviously, sheet numbers were assigned to which factory was to print the back..but oddly enough, no other backs have sheet numbers?????...after 15 years of collecting these, I decided to sell or trade them a few years ago including my ames factory 30.........I even had a Rhodes with the sheet # 30 on the side, but not sure yet if that was an actual sheet number??????

anyway, I was attending the Valley forge show a few years back I think 2015......I saw John P at his table.......I was looking at his cards, when I flipped over Ames for shits and giggles and there it was!!!!!! FACTORY 25!!! I FOUND ONE!!!

I let John P know , but he wasn't too excited like me(it's the little things in life that get me excited

), and graciously sold it to me.......

When I told adam what I had, he was so cool, he just sent me my old ames factory #30 to be with his sister card

THANKS AGAIN ADAM G!!!!!!!!!

I always thought these would be "forged" in the future....maybe some jerk getting a stamp and you know the rest.....SO I AM SO EXCITED THE WAY I got these.....I KNOW they are legit, and amazingly stamped at the same spot, thus solving a small T206 mystery of why and where are these being stamped???arbitrarily??? seems they stamped consistent in the same spot!!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

A LEGIT NEVER UBER RARE FACT #25

I gotta love it.......Jantz loved these too

anyway....thanks again Adam G and John P for putting these together for me

great stuff

I guess I�m a bit confused. In looking at my cards and I have a few SC350s Factory No.25s. That�s something people would be interested in? They�re all raw beaters.

Pretty neat items, I am not really a T206 collector but having seen these in the past I happened to find the following T59 Flags a few years back and set them aside in the hopes of one day sharing them. This thread prompted me to dig them out...

Pretty uncommon in the T59's as well, which were distributed about the same time as the T206 cards (and presumably printed in the same manner and likely by the same outfit).

Anyways, one these 4th series T59's (Series of 200) you cans ee the top of the "240" at base for the Factory 240 cards in the same way you can see the "25" and "30" on the T206's. I thought it interesting that it really does cement that that is what those numbers are referring to without any doubt...

Funny, until I just posted these large scans I had never noticed the slight wet ink transfer at the base on front that shows the faint number there too. Interesting.
