This did come out of a cigarette pack back in 1910. Came from a private Collection of over 250 T206 cards. Opened Piedmont tobacco packs and all were in the Collection. This card was the only anomaly!

I have challenged others to prove me wrong with photos of other T206 cards that are similar. I haven't SEEN one yet! Here is another Chance!

Show them Boys!

It looks like it's just missing the Brown color pass. But why is the back of the card so white looking? Is it just a scanner setting?

Thanks to Toby (bigfish), I completed this AMERICAN BEAUTY - BROAD LEAF - CYCLE - DRUM sub-set. I acquired this DRUM
card of Frank Delahanty from Toby back in 2007 at the Philly (Reading) Show. Delahanty is my favorite T206 Minor Leaguer.

I haven't seen another Delahanty DRUM card since 2007. PSA pop report lists none, and the last time I looked, neither does
SGC. Therefore, until some one reports he has one (or knows of one), I consider this Delahanty DRUM card unique.

SGC does have one in their pop reports but it is the one you have. It was in
the holder when it sold in the 2007 Hunt auction that had all the Drums in
it. Did you crack it out of the SGC slab?

Attachment 426129

That is the same card.

When I bought this Delahanty card from Toby at the Reading Philly Show it was in an SGC "A" holder.

Cards which I acquire that are "keepers", I crack them out of their capsules and store them in high quality Mylar.

Is there a T206 "proof cards" check-list....so, we can see if this Puttman card is unique (or not) ?

This yellow-brown "scrap" of Doolan may be a one of a kind T206. I am posting it here to see if any one else has one.







Showing off the remainder of this Doolan run......this image is my favorite action pose.
I need his BROAD LEAF 350 card to complete this run. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Furthermore, I would be remiss if I didn't include this "mega beauty"

"Turkey Mike" was quite a character. He was the "Talk of the Town" in New York City. Not only for his BB prowess, but also his vaudeville
performances (with his wife) on Broadway. Mike would have been a "contender" for the BB Hall of Fame with his career BA = .333 and a
Slugging Avg. = .468 (higher than many stars in the Deadball Era), if he had just devoted more of his time to BB.
Any given time when the TCM channel is featuring Silent Movies, there is a good chance you'll see Donlin in the cast. He was featured in
53 movies. The most notable ones being "The General" and "Slide Kelly Slide".

Just a simple explanation why Mike Donlin is one of my favorite T206's. Especially, his batting pose in the white-bordered tobacco cards.
Here is a partial run which I will be working on for quite some time to complete.

My question to any of you is....is the yellow-brown "scrap" in my run a unique card ? I haven't seen another such Donlin; however, there
are quite a number of T206 yellow-brown scraps in circulation in the hobby. I appreciate your response.
