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

the T206 subjects (190) in the 350-only Series were printed with AMERICAN BEAUTY, BROAD LEAF, CYCLE, DRUM backs. Of which these 36 were also.

I find this quite interesting, in that it indicates that these 36 guys are sort of "exclusive" with respect to the other 154 subjects in the 350-only Series.
Furthermore, it indicates to us that these 36 subjects were printed on a sheet of their own (composed of multiples of a 12 x 3 card format).

I am sharing this information with you guys, who get a big "kick" out of collecting T206 runs. So, you do not have to go off on a "wild-goose" chase
searching for certain cards that really do not exist.

Ted!! Your giving away some of our best secrets.



The T206 set is one of the most fun sets to research!! I'll have to compare this list with the Tolstoi's and their populations compared to others from the main print group.

I would bet a T206 (or two) that approx. 1/2 of these 36 guys were printed with TOLSTOI backs. American Litho started printing the TOLSTOI brand early in the 350 Series game.

I look forward to your findings.

Hi Ted, I hoped to find a clean pattern but that doesn't always happen with this set. Initially the Minor League cards jumped out at me so that's were I started. Here's what I have so far. Maybe others will chime in on their thoughts or findings. This is only for the 37 cards mentioned. I split the Minor League cards from the others. There is always the possibility that they all exist with Tolstoi backs but just haven't been found yet. Cards on David Hall's list can't be confirmed 100 percent until that particular card shows up at a Heritage Auction. Danny Hoffman has been confirmed as seen on the next post even though the population report shows zero.

Hi Ron

Great stuff, thanks for posting your TOLSTOI list regarding this group of 36 subjects.
Indeed, ALC printed the TOLSTOI backs very early in the game when they started printing the 350-only Series cards.

A couple of tough ones.....

[Ronnie73]

Here are a couple of my low population Tolstoi cards but they are not related to the 36 we were talking about. Only one Willett has been graded between PSA and SGC. The PSA one is in the current Heritage "David Hall" Auction. I had a PSA 4 Zimmerman but traded it for some really great cards but still at times regret it. I guess that's why I don't really trade anymore. I have exactly 100 different Tolstoi's. Hope to add more to my set this year.
