T-210 Red Border Break Down

[FrankWakefield]

I remember this old thread, I feel like someone has trod across my grave.

There were a bunch of these old cards, and pre internet they weren't widely known nor collected.

My focus was on series 6, because I'm a Kentuckian. Once upon a time I managed to have 65 of the 66 cards, lacking Angermeier fielding (a description that annoys me still, because I think he's just standing with his catcher's mitt). I still have yet to see one, but I'm sure they're out there. After I sold and traded away most of my T210's, a friend collector contacted me saying that he'd acquired one, and he'd sell it to me if I still needed the card. (Do we really need a card?) I thanked him for thinking of me, and said no, I'd started selling them. I wish I'd sold different cards, and kept those.

I still have about 4 dozen of them. Fewer than 2 dozen from series 6, maybe a dozen series 8 Nashville cards, and then a few of the other series. This thread revives some good memories. Thanks.

This is the card, it sold in REA last October. I didn’t get it, but this is the photo from the auction.

My intention of reviving this thread was exactly your response, to bring back some good memories.

Ed, Thank You, Sir!

If I'd gotten that card back when, maybe the complete 66 cards would have been a reason to keep them.

Is that a baseball in his right hand? That card you've posted has the best image I recall ever seeing. And a bit of a smile / smirk on his face...

Leo Angermeier was born and died in Louisville, Kentucky. He died in 1919, at age 29. I may dig around and find out what I can about him.

Do you recall about what that card auctioned for? It's in great shape!

Frank,

It sold for$510. My family was just out in Lexington over Christmas. We had a good time. Kentucky was pretty, and plenty to do. We want to go back in Spring and see it with leaves and flowers. Anyway, looking at that auction, it just struck me how unoriginal they were with some of these cards. Case in point….
