Nice re-discovery of some great looking T206 cards. With the stains on the back bottom of the ones shown it appears they may have been mounted in a scrapbook (with photo corners perhaps?). It would certainly account for their fresh appearance. Do the others also have similar stains? And any additional background about the cards that you can provide?

Brian

Only about 8 of the other cards (of the total of 148) have similar corner stains. I would guess all of the stains were acquired at the same time when the cards were stacked at some point. I don't think they were ever mounted. Though maybe... the interesting thing is that every single card is a Factory 25 card. Which leads me to think they were all acquired a long time ago by a single person down here and the collection hasn't been added to in quite a few years. Though some of the cards are total beaters, and a couple do appear to have been removed from some mounting at some point.

All cards have been scanned and are available for viewing here:

I would appreciate any feedback on special cards I might have missed or things to look into (for example, potential longshot Josh Clark auto on page 4).

Looks like one in the last photo, and two early on from the Southern Leagues.

Edit: Cards look to have brown backs, but that doesn't mean they're what you're talking about.

The autograph looks like "John W.", so either Honus Wagner or the original owner... ;-)

Oddities:
Devlin has a miscut back and centered front.
Birmingham has a double-printed blue back, or had extra ink applied during printing. Same as a Ferris and Ganley (unless the Ganley is writing).
Cross 350 back either has two blue ink spots or print defects.
Dooin has a nice plate scratch on back.
Magee on bottom right of picture has a name at top.
Both Lindaman cards have a recurring print defect in the '0' of 150.
A couple were owned by S.S. and B.W.K.

Are you going to grade the better conditioned ones and Hall of Famers? Maybe bobby will run another one for the board if you ask him nicely... or you could submit at a $499 max value with a submitter like PC Sportscards (jewcer2k5 on Blowout) to get access to the $25 service level that PSA is only allowing for registered corporate bulk submitters. You can go through PSA's pop reports that are broken down by back and see if any of yours are "rarities" or "low pops" that would sell much better with less than 5 annotated so far in PSA holders with that specific back advertiser and factory number.

Oh my. I think my goal for 2021 is:

Napoleon Lajoie - T206

Increase from 169 to 200+

What a wonderful find, my friend.
