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

Here is the 1st page of the 350/460 Series cards in my set. This series of 66 subjects were printed with the apple-green backs. Why American Lithographic (ALC) changed
the ink color when they printed the backs of this group of 66 subjects remains a mystery. It appears to me that ALC took their last 350 series pre-printed sheets of T206's
and decided to extend them into the 460 series which resulted in 110 subjects (350 Subjects + 110 Subjects = 460 Subjects).

Shown below is my concept of a 72-card sheet arrangement of these 66 subjects (Note: the Six Super-Prints are double-printed on this simulated sheet).

Looking for more inputs to this informal survey. So far, we have.....

Three collectors, that for all practical purposes, collect T206's "raw".

Two who collect only Graded.

Three whose collections are a combination of both Graded and Ungraded.

And, one that is too early to tell (Hi Leon....look forward to seeing you in Chicago next week).

Here's the 2nd page of the 3 pages which include 45 of the 46 subjects which comprise the 460-only series of the SOVEREIGN set. My Chance (batting) card is Graded.
Printed concurrently with this 460 Series are the Six Super-Prints which I have displayed in Post #781 in this thread.

Hey guys,
Still looking for some inputs here, as to whether you prefer GRADED or UNGRADED T206's.

I like vintage cards ungraded, and T206's are so plentiful they can still be easily obtained raw...and they can look wonderful in collector condition.

Thanks Brian for your input.


Our current T206 collecting UNGRADED vs GRADED tally is...…..

We now have 4 guys who T206 collection are strictly UNGRADED.

Two who collect only GRADED.

Three whose collections are a combination of both GRADED and UNGRADED.

And, one that is too early to tell (Hi Leon....look forward to seeing you in Chicago next week).


Let's see if a few more T206 collectors will chime in here.

So far I have purchased all 61 of my T206's raw. I had the first 5 graded but stopped because it was taking away too much money from my already limited card funds. Here are some of my cards including a half hearted attempt at a back run.

Hi Bill

Thanks for your input, and displaying your T206's. Good luck collecting these "gems".


OK, here is the latest tally...…

We now have 5 guys whose T206 cards are strictly UNGRADED.

Two who collect only GRADED T206's.

Three whose collections are a mixture of both GRADED and UNGRADED T206's.

And, one that is too early to tell (Hi Leon....look forward to seeing you in Chicago next week).

I'm not a t206 collector, but this thread is amazing and I salute those of you doing the research.
