T210 Orange Borders

Staying within the topic of Orange bordered T210's, but looking at the overall picture of the T210 set:

On N54, how many are into any area of the T210 set, and what is the area of your interest?

We know that J. McMurry is interested in the Series 5 Greenville.
I'm mentally challenged, and I'm interested in the whole set.

What's your interest?

Hello there, Joe.

I have an orange one somewhere. I posted it a couple of years ago, when we had a thread about them before. I'd still like us to get together a list of potential orange ones. I think some of us think any series 3 can have an orange border, some of us think only some of the series 3 cards can be found with orange borders.

When I see that yellow one I figure he wasn't printed alone, so there must have been more. And some 1910 kids may well have trashed them because they didn't have red borders...

As for T210 interests, I think I got about a fourth of the way into the entire set, then gave up and sold most of them except for series 6. I then focused on series 6. At present I have 64 and lack 2, Angermeier fielding, and Whitaker. I'd like to find one of them this year, the other the next. I've been looking for years, did find a Whitaker that a board member outbid me on. Then instead of offering it to me when he was ready to sell it (as he'd said he would), he instead sent it off and it was in a Mastro auction. They put it in a lot with a bunch of other cards, and the lot got beyond what I'd pay. Yes, I know it is easier for the auction houses to pile stuff into lots... we wouldn't want it to be about getting money for the consignors, would we. Consignors send those cards in with benefiting the auction houses in mind.... (Yes, I'm still annoyed Mastro piled a bunch of cards together, less money for them and the consignor, but it was less work for them!)

So Joe, please find me an Angermeier fielding and a Whitaker, please Sir.

The Orange borders do appear in series 1,3,4,6 and 7 as I never saw any in the other series while completing the entire set,in which I did in 5 years or so,not too bad ,aye?

One other quick note,if you have say the Burch in orange like Leon just got it can be found with the red border as well.So any card that is orange can be found red,kind of like a paralell card and vice versa.I am working on a T-210 article but have a ways to go with work and health conditions but I hope to finish soon.

Always seeking ...Series 1 (Columbia)

Ralph--I have seen a lot of T210s and don't recall seeing a true orange border outside of Series 3. I have also found a red border for every orange border I have found. Never thought they were a big deal though, just off color in a few batches.

Jay,
As for the series I indicated I know series 3 is the most plentiful but the other series I listed had the orange borders as well but not as many per series and I have even seen a series 2 now and then so they come out of the wood work.As for the years I started the t-210's in 1982 and was done shortly after my Grandfather's death in 87.I know of only one other collector who did it first but it took him longer to do it and the way he housed the cards was with the old black photo pages with 4 slits for each corner and I know of another collector who is one short of them all.I am working on a article as to the cards players,the ones who made it to the big leagues.The Joe Jackson card in which I personally owned 5 at one time and the Stengel is tougher to find.I went through thousands of cards and I did it when there was no internet which I think is remarkable and I wish I had the photo's of the cards on computer ,I do have some photo's of some of my favorite old mills but the pics are so small.The one thing about the T-210 cards is they are not as colorful as t-206's in which makes them less popular but if you want a challenge try doing the entire set and see if you can do it,I guarantee you won't do it in 5 years because the computers make the competeition so much greater,back in my time it was mail auctions and I had help with veteran dealers and I was able to chat with one Bill Haber and I have somewhere in my possesion a photo of his cards in the black photo paper along with his stengel card but they are in B&W as we had no scanners back then.As for how many Jackson's exist I can't put a actual number on it but at one time I knew of 12 my five,4 with one other veteran collector and three with another,I am guessing 25 or more and I will say that Stengel T-210 cards are less plentiful. Just my opinions.If you have more to add please do as I loved these cards and they still are my favorites.
