Lots going on the last few months. I’m focusing on just a few cards in 2022. And I’m looking to add my man John Frill - any and all backs. That’s where I’m at.

Hi Kevin

I've had a tough time finding John Frill with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and CYCLE 460 backs. It's not easy doing a T206 run of him.

Good Luck.

Post #64 in this thread illustrates my first T206 complete A - B - C - D sub-set......

From my experience working on these T205 runs, I gained an appreciation for certain printing patterns of the T205 cards. Examples of these are....

1st....is that American Lithographic printed exactly 32 subjects with the A - B - C - D connection.

2nd....the A - B - C - D cards and the AMERICAN BEAUTY (Green) cards are Mutually-Exclusive.

And....HINDU cards and DRUM cards are Mutually-Exclusive.


My Harry Wolter is one of the NY Highlanders printed in the A - B - C - D group. I believe this Wolter run is complete with 11 cards.
The HONEST LONG CUT back and the two HASSAN backs are "hiding" somewhere in my archives. I will post them when I find them.

Once upon a time I thought I was going to do multiple back runs. Then the surge and reality hit. LOL.

Nice work Dean. Together we have 7 of the 12 with two EPDGs.

Nicely done Chad. Love that jumbo Piedmont. The only way I will ever complete a back run is by combining virtually with someone else. LOL!

Being a T206 Front/Back collector is difficult, no matter what. But what was even more difficult was assembling a set of cards that shouldn’t have existed. I started searching in 2012 and found my first card on 4/10/2014. I managed to purchase most of the 28 card set during 2015-2016 when a decent amount of them were sold on eBay. Only 27 of the 28 cards turned up during that time period. I found my last card on 7/5/2017 and that was the Nap Lajoie card. I had a lot of fun completing this extremely difficult error subset that missed the scroll overprint that covered the Factory 30 and added the Factory 42 at the bottom of the card. These cards are sometimes referred to as “No Prints”.

Thanks Dean! Sounds about right with the WaJo Portraits considering the difficulty of picking up the Old Mill and the rising prices.

Thanks for sharing your WaJos as well Ted and all of your other incredible contributions!
