T210 Orange Borders

[oldjudge]

Here is a list of the orange borders I have: Alexander, Billiard, Blanding, Burch, Firestine, Gordon, Hooks, Johnston, Jones, Kipp, Leidy, Munsell, Nagel, Slaven, Stinson, Stringer, and Yantz. I have the comparable red border for all but Slavin, Burch and Alexander. I have never put much effort into getting the orange border or, once I have them, the comparable red border so these just "fell" my way.

Here's the only orange border I still have, it is Gordon with Waco. He's beside a normal red border Old Mill for contrast purposes.

I still think this... 1- all series 3 cards can be found with a red border; 2- some series 3 cards can be found with both a red border and an orange border.

I suspect some kids threw the orange ones away because they looked funny, or different. I think there were fewer orange ones to start with, and that they were more susceptible to attrition.

I don't know what to think about those yellow borders.




What's in Gordon's left hand? A brush???

I have been collecting the T210's for several years now, and have seen hundreds, but never saw a Orange Border outside Series 3. If one exists outside series 3, I would love to see a scan. I concur with Frank as well, putting the T210 set together has to be more difficult than T206. How much more difficult, I have no idea, but just putting together Series 6,7, & 8 can keep a man busy for a decade. Ralph - My hat is off to you for putting the entire set together in 5 years. That is remarkable. What year's did you put it
together ?
