What are the odds?

Not only that, but he called them t211s. I mean, really man, T212s, Brian, T212s…🤬

Sorry, Patrick, I steered this off course. Here’s the Van Landingham, I haven’t scanned my Lexington yet, but I lifted from the auction photo.

Unfortunately it is not once in a blue moon that the aforementioned clown has identified Obak cards using the Red Sun ACC designation.

Dutch Jordan decided to pop in to confirm the correct type of card for the T211 ACC designation.

Brian (please...other folks help out Patrick with his T210 inquiry. Do not follow my lead, and please prevent me from showing a T213 Coupon card next)

Frank and Ed,

No slight intended towards you fine gentlemen.

I was simply trying to get a reponse from Ben and Jason, who I know have the T210 Red Border fever like me.

Appreciate any and all feedback!

Weirdly I just collect them and know nothing about the players. I just love how they look. Since we need more card pics I just bought this one yesterday.

Patrick,
No offense taken. In reality, I was trying to elicit a response from Frank with my Whitaker card. I wanted to see if he would still dance at someone’s wedding and play the tambourine for one. I don’t yet have Angermeier fielding to tempt him with.

Very interesting topic Patrick. It would be great to see a list of all players shown with multiple teams, if only to get a better idea of when each series was photographed and/or produced. For example, I looked into George Keifel, whose cards you posted, and determined that he was no longer with Richmond and onto Lexington around the first week of July, suggesting that series 2 preceded series 6, which I think may have been discussed in prior threads.

Keifel is also interesting to me in that he was moved to Portsmouth in about June 1910 but claimed to have a major health issue that prevented him from playing, only to reappear with Richmond later that month with a doctor's note saying he was good to go. Portsmouth claimed that he had lied all along and was in cahoots with the Colts. Richmond denied this but their papers reported that it would be a bad look to keep the player, which likely explains his movement in July. BTW, Portsmouth went under and moved to Petersburg that same month of July. Series 2 has all players from that squad designated with Portsmouth:


Finally, Vallandingham (misspelled Van Landingham on both posted cards) did not join Lexington until after July 11, meaning Series 6 was distributed after that date. Notably, both of the teams he appeared for played in the Bluegrass League, suggesting that the teams in that circuit were photographed at different times and were perhaps distributed during different times as well.

Thanks for posting.

Todd, great Keifel story, thanks for sharing. My Keifel card:

Ben, I’m with you. I don’t know much about the t210’s, but love the look and obscurity of many of the players. I also like the crossover of the t206 Southern League players. My SL crossover cards:

Lastly, I can’t believe I didn’t notice this before. Well, actually I can, I’m not the sharpest tool in the box. The Lipe card uses the same picture in both sets, they just made some alterations.
