T210 Old Mill Cigarettes Red Border Oddities

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks again for all the responses!

T210s are just such a cool set.

I only wish more of them would come up for auction more frequently!

P.S. Jason...your Hick's freak T210 isn't really a "caption jump," but a "border bounce."

The alignment of the border framing is what is off, the caption is in it's regular or normal location.

I'm kinda late to the party, but what else is new?

Seablaster,

You were just saving the best for last!

I'm guessing printer scrap?

Thanks for sharing!

I'd have to assume so Patrick. The red borders and the reverses are lined up correctly. This would also explain why there are miscuts that have a pure white portion of the card visible above the red border. What I find somewhat odd, is given the significant number of T210s, I've only remember seeing a handful where the white border is visible above or below the red border.

How many more catchers do you need for completion?

[Vintagecatcher]

Seablaster,

I'm not sure how many more catchers I need in the set. Currently have 18 different catchers in the set. Most of the cards show the catchers catching, but I also have one batting, and a portrait card.

I started by collecting just cards that had catchers wearing chest protectors in the T210.

It took awhile, but I believe, I have all 8 cards that show catchers wearing their chest protectors.

By then I had caught the T210 bug, and I decided to pickup at least one catcher card from each series. Still need an example from Series 4.

Since the Covid-19 virus arrived, new T210s on eBay have all but dried up except for the "museum" ones!

Here is my first Orange Border T210 that I picked up in May.

I haven't heard much from my fellow T210 collectors recently.

Have you also found it difficult to add any new T210s to your collections?

I haven't found anything new in a while either. I agree on eBay prices being way to high to buy.

Old thread I know, but thought the content would make the revival appopriate. A Series 3 Waco card of Munsell in blazing Yellow. Part of the T210 set that I will be breaking up in my Sept. Auction.

Thanks for sharing Scott....that's an incredible T210!

Looking forward to your auction!
