T205 Hoblitzell - No Stats & More
With STRONG encouragement from my wife, I FINALLY landed MY "White Whale" - the T205 Hoblitzell - No Stats, paying roughly TWICE what my folks paid for their home!
God Rest Their Souls - they would NOT have approved! Anyway, my wife asked me WHY is that card so rare. All I could say was "Uhhhh, because...." After all these years, is there a BETTER answer than that???? In addition, I'm looking for a T205 Hoblitzell - "One L" with a basic Piedmont 25 reverse. Does THAT card exist???

Good for you. It’s my last card for a complete T205 master set.

I don't know that much about T205s but I don't think the one L exists in a
Piedmont back. And congrats on the no stats. Last edited by Pat R; 01-29-2021 at 09:10 AM. |

Me too. I imagine there's quite a few of us in that club.

Re: T205 Hoblitzell - No Stats & More
Hey Greg,
Congrats on the Hobby-no stats. The simple answer to your wife's question is that it was printed only with the Hassan 30 reverse. As for the one "L" variant, I don't recollect seeing it with any back other than the Sweet Caporal red. Others are far more knowledgeable on T205 than I and may have better information. I'm pretty sure you won't find it with a Piedmont 25 reverse. Happy Hunting!

Nice purchase! What's the estimated pop on that card?

Very nice card!!!
As a master set acquiring wannabe, I may have given up on that card. I was thinking I could make my own no stats version with some strategic paper added or a Moran with stray line with another after market accessory. Then I thought, hey maybe I should just buy one? A real one! Then I soon realized that ain’t easy in so many ways. I’m happy for you, that’s absolutely a whale card for T205 fiends. Nice job!

Hey All - I appreciate the congrats, but all it really took was the ability to scratch a check... (...and an approving Wife - Thanks, B!)
As for the known POP of Hoblitzell - No Stats, I'm guessing LESS THAN 50, based on the PSA & SGC pop reports and considering re-grades. Anyone else got any ideas on this??? Eddie - what I DON'T understand about the Hobie is this - Hassan 30 backs are tougher, but why are their so few of this one card and NOT all the other Hassan 30s backs??? We may never know! |

You can only scratch a check after you find one for sale. That's a significant accomplishment with this card.

I looked for over 5 years for a Hassan 30 Al Bridwell. I think Hassan 30 backs are scarce if you go looking for a specific subject.

Huge congrats Greg. What a massive whale to catch. I hope you took some time to just hold it in the raw. It looks great.

To answer your question about the one L Hoblitzell. This card only exist with Sweet Caporal Red backs. If anyone has a scan of one with a different back please let me know.

As if I needed a reason to.... Thanks for the thought...That COULD BE an (the?) reason why Hoblitzell - No Stats is so tough...not many Hassan FAC 30s made of anyone... Any one got any other Hassan Fac 30s to show??? |
