I've been working on NY Highlanders T205 runs. First started with the group of 32 subjects which I refer to as the A - B - C - D connection.
This group of T205's were printed with more T-brands than the other T205 cards in this set. And, I really enjoy this challenge.

My experience doing these T205 runs has provided me an appreciation for the printing patterns of the T205 cards. Certain examples are.....

The A - B - C - D cards and AMERICAN BEAUTY (Green) cards are mutually-exclusive.

HINDU cards and DRUM cards are mutually-exclusive.

Harry Wolter is one of the Highlanders printed in the A - B - C - D group. My run only needs the HONEST LONG CUT back to be complete.

Hi Dave

Great looking Baltimore players runs. I'm sure you are also doing runs on all the other Baltimore guys.

Say, will I see you at the Philly Show in 2 weeks ?

Ted, yes I'm working on runs of all nine Baltimore players. Unfortunately, for my wallet, that includes Drum backs for each of the nine - as confirmed by your A-B-C-D theory.

Hoping to make it up to the Philly show in a couple of weeks but I'm still not sure. Visiting with you and Dan M. is always the highlight of the trip for me. I'll be sure to let you know either way.

The only ballplayer in the T206 set who was still active in the Major Leagues in 1933 is also featured in the 1933 GOUDEY set.....Jack Quinn.**
His pitching career spanned from 1909 - 1933.

The T205 Quinn is part of my Highlanders run project within the T205 group of 32 printed with the A - B - C - D backs. These T205's were printed with eleven T-brands.

** Note....I think Quinn's longevity leads all the major Pitchers who were his contemporaries......

Pitcher . . . . . Years

Quinn . . . . . . . 23
CYoung . . . . . . 22
WJohnson . . . . 21
Alexander . . . . 20
Mathewson . . . 17
Plank . . . . . . . 17



Big thanks to Luke Lyon, from whom I recently acquired the BROAD LEAF card of Quinn. This card
"completes" my Quinn run. I say "completes"....since I don't expect to find his elusive DRUM card.
