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

[Ricky]

Interesting. Usually everything hinges on marketing and the need to drive sales. I'm really surprised, then, that these two brands never hosted cards.

This thread will provide references to major contributions posted on Net54 these past 14 years that have formed a better understanding of "The Monster" [as Bill Heitman
so aptly coined his T206 book (circa 1980)].

Let's start with the 2005-2006 publication of Scot Reader's Inside T206
An excellent, very informative, and well written book that inspired many of us Net54ers to post our experiences and theory's regarding the complexities of the T206 series.

One of the early and very significant T206 threads was posted in June 2006 by Barry Arnold, titled T206 EPDG- - - how rare in your collection ?
This thread sparked lots of brainstorming among Net54ers regarding T206's. It included surveys; and, various aspects of the T206 series were explored.....resulting in 363
meaningful posts. Furthermore, between many of us Net54ers, it was "the start of of a beautiful friendship" (to quote Claude Raines to Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca).

In the Summer of 2006, Bill Brown posted his T206 Super-Set (excel) spreadsheet. Bill received 1000's of inputs from Net54ers for this spreadsheet. It was a great start
in the pursuit of what a T206 "master" set would be comprised of....T206 Super-Set

Sept 2007, I started a thread titled Joe Doyle NAT'L and it's 11 "cousins"....SURVEY to explore certain PIEDMONT 350 cards that I considered as rare as the Joe Doyle
"error" card. I eventually referred to these particular T206's as the Elite 11


Subsequent posts in this thread will expand on theory's regarding the structure of the T206 series and the front/back permutations that have resulted. A fair number of the
theory's presented on Net54 (since 2006) have withstood the test of time. Providing accurate lists of which front/back combos were printed. And, which ones are No-Prints.

So, stay tuned......many more T206 "oldies but goodies" References and Reflections will be posted here.

And, feel free to contribute any meaningful T206 stories, or experiences collecting T206's that you have.

In this thread, I've tried to present some very complex aspects of the Series structure of the T206 set in a style which is understandable to most of the T206 collectors.
However, if not clear, don't be shy about asking questions. Post your questions on this thread. Or, email me directly with your question(s).... tedzan11@comcast.net
In either event, I will gladly do my best to provide you clear and meaningful answer(s).

When American Lithographic started printing the 350 Series T206's, they introduced these T-brands....AMERICAN BEAUTY, BROAD LEAF, CAROLINA BRIGHTS, CYCLE, DRUM,
EPDG, OLD MILL, POLAR BEAR, and TOLSTOI .

TOLSTOI print runs started circa 1910. Continued to the end of the T206 press runs (Spring 1911). To date, 255 subjects have been confirmed. TOLSTOI cards are not tough.
However, certain 350-only subjects printed early in 1910 must have been short-printed, as they are very tough to find.

ATC Factory #30 (in NYC) was a major producer of various cigarette brands. Besides SWEET CAPORAL, some of these tobacco brands were
CAIRO MONOPOL, LENOX, and TOLSTOI. Also early 1911, a new T-brand named UZIT.
By the Spring of 1911, American Lithographic (ALC) had printed the last of their T206's (350/460 and 460-only series cards). ALC embarked
on producing their Gold-Bordered cards.....T205 BB, and various and sundry Non-Sports sets (T42, T43, T56, T57, T69, T80, T99, etc.).

Furthermore,
Imagine opening a LENOX or UZIT (or perhaps a TOLSTOI) cigarette pack in the Spring of 1911 and finding a T206 card and a T80 card in it. **






In my wild imagination, I expect that some day we will find a Cobb (or two) with a T80 back on it. Hey, this may seem improbable; however, consider that the printer
installed the T80 LENOX printing plates in the press instead of the T206 LENOX plates. After all, these cards were printed concurrently. Anyway Cobb has been quoted
as saying...…. " Baseball is like War ! "
So guys, check-out these unique Cobb cards .........……..


……………………………………...….…... .


. ………….and, here he is wielding his weapon of "war"



** Note….ALC ledger sheet (dated Feb 1911) exists which instructs ATC employees at Factory #30 to insert both a T206 card and a T80 card in a LENOX (or UZIT) cigarette pack.

Ted, as far as I know these Tolstoi's on your list are unconfirmed

the following missing from your list are confirmed

Beckley
Donovan (throwing)

Sweeney, Bill

I also think Bender (with trees) might be an error on the confirmed lists
but I'm not sure. There is only one in the PSA pop reports and none
in the SGC reports. I've never seen one and I think it might be a label or data entry
error on a no trees PSA example.

[Luke]

Love me some Tolstois!

Nice Luke! those are some tough Tolstoi's.

Here's a few more that don't show up often.

Hi Pat

1st....the ones you pointed out which I omitted.....
If you check-out my recent thread (shown below), you will see that I did list 3 of the subjects as confirmed TOLSTOI cards.
I was combining data from several TOLSTOI lists in my records, and I inadvertently left out part of one. My bad !

Excerpt from my "Interesting NO-PRINT group of T206 Carolina Brights - EPDG - Old Mill - Polar Bear" thread...…..

I will double-check the data on my lists of TOLSTOI cards to see why I included any, or all 7 of these as "confirmed" TOLSTOI cards.


3rd....Regarding the Bender (trees) with TOLSTOI, I vaguely recall having seen one many years ago. I checked the pop reports (and
like you said) I noticed PSA lists one graded. So I figured my recollection was valid.

Thanks for your inputs.

Ted, I saw that most of these were on your other lists so I knew you just
forgot to put them on this list I was just pointing them out so you could
update this list.

I'm still a little skeptical about the Bender. There are a few single known
example Tolstoi's but Bender is the only HOF and we have seen other
errant confirmations due to a pop error. if you look at the other
350 only HOF pop numbers it seems odd that there isn't a recorded
sale or scan.

Combined pop #'s of the other HOF 350 only Tolstoi's

Beckley - 17
Bresnahan - 12
Collins, Eddie - 6
Collins, Jimmy - 12
Huggins (hands at mouth) - 12
Huggins (portrait) - 6
Kelley - 3
Marquard (Port) - 4 *SGC has 9 in their pop report that doesn't specify pitching or portrait.
McGinnity - 6
Speaker - 11

I will double-check the data on my lists of TOLSTOI cards to see why I included any, or all 7 of these as "confirmed" TOLSTOI cards.


3rd....Regarding the Bender (trees) with TOLSTOI, I vaguely recall having seen one many years ago. I checked the pop reports (and
like you said) I noticed PSA lists one graded. So I figured my recollection was valid.

Thanks for your inputs.

Ted Merritt is the only one I see on your previous Tolstoi checklists so the
rest must be fairly recent.

Here's another low pop Tolstoi.

Here are a couple of my low population cards.

My research indicates that initial TOLSTOI print runs (circa early 1910) appear to coincide with early 1910 press runs of the 350 series. And, what is evident (based on pop
report data) is that they many of these cards were short-printed relative to subsequent T206 series (350/460 series and 460-only series) TOLSTOI print runs.

For example......this simulated arrangement of the 48 subjects in the 1910 COUPON set were also printed with TOLSTOI backs. Approx. 67 % of these guys are quite tough
to find with TOLSTOI backs. Becker & Marshall have yet to be confirmed with a TOLSTOI back. But then, it is only recently that Joe Dunn, Claude Rossman, and Ira Thomas
have been found with TOLSTOI backs. So, I expect that Becker and Marshall will be eventually found with TOLSTOI backs.

* denotes not yet confirmed with TOLSTOI back.

** denotes super-print which has a considerably higher TOLSTOI population, since these subjects were also included in the 350/460 series print runs.
