Fun is doing a run of Tobacco, Candy, etc. cards...show-n-tell us of your current run

Thanks, Ted, you have the stars from the set. Thanks for the bio info on Rhoades. Sometimes I think I spend too much time on commons. For example, this T205 Bridwell run. I didn't choose to do this player. I found a BL black on ebay and a short time later a Drum showed up and after that I went for the rest. Not all are shown here. I still need a few that I'm not sure are possible or not...Hassan 30, SC 25 and 42 black, BL green, blank, Hindu, P 42, one of the AB's

My T205 research indicates that don't be concerned about Bridwell with HINDU and green AB backs (they don't exist). Black AB card of Bridwell does exist.

Our collecting trends appear to be quite similar. Here are two examples of several T205 runs I have been working on......

Huggins is my favorite of these T205 A-B-C-D sub-sets......plus, I have Huggins with several other T205 backs. No DRUM card has been confirmed with Huggins (to date).
I expect his DRUM will eventually be discovered.

Same goes for Lobert (no DRUM yet).…..

Jeff and Bob, those are awesome pics! What great accomplishments. I hope you complete the runs- let me know if I can help

Only 10 possible cards are needed to complete this Doolan run. I still need the BROAD LEAF 350 card. And, according
to my A-B-C-D theory the DRUM is one of the possible backs. However, no DRUM has been confirmed as of this date.

Officially finished my 10 card Chief Meyers T205 back run today.

This project wasn't always fun. The last two backs I needed were extremely difficult to find, and I ended up settling for a little paper loss on both backs in the end.

The big surprise was picking up a front/back combination that I did not know existed when I started the run...a Chief Meyers American Beauty (green.)

Here are scans of the 8 different brands. Piedmont and Hassan had two different factories available.

Nice T205 run of Meyers cards. Thanks for sharing them with us.

A bigger surprise for you is the possibility of Meyers HINDU card.

Currently there are 23 subjects in this set confirmed with the HINDU back. And, several of them are Catchers.
But that's not why I'm suggesting this. It's the back pattern of your run which is indicative of the possibility of
Meyers having been printed with the HINDU back.

Thanks, If you see a T213-1 Rhoades at a card show buy it. I will trade well for it.

Here's a new addition...HLC

I must have the black AB and now I understand or remember that I don't need green AB.

RE: C-Mack's Bergen run. I don't know if Bergen is available with all 5 T216 backs or not. I think it is presumed that all 74 subjects come with all 5 backs, but I haven't seen that explained.

An alert reader pointed out that there is a scan of a T216 Cobb VE in the recent "Louisiana Cards" thread, so we know Cobb lean/bat comes with all 5 backs.

I don't recall the specifics, but I know Steve (Brassrat) has previously posted about the print order of the different backs along with the team variations and how that can be used determine if different combinations are likely/unlikely. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread now so maybe he will comment.

Thanks, here's the thread...

Steve was the alert reader.

Hey guys,

Bergen should only be found with the KNGO (aka "thin paper") and the VE backs. He finished up his career in 1911 with Brooklyn, so the KNIT, K123, and Mino backs are not going to be found.

There are a few examples of each the KNGO and VE out there.

Cheers,
Steve
