T206 American Beauty contest....can you confirm these ?

[cfc1909]

Ted

not to hijack but I have 3 BroadLeaf 350s to add to your list

Dineen
Fletcher
Mitchell Cin.

These were confirmed by Art M.- Also there was a mention of different shades of Sovereign backs in Arts book but they were not narrowed down to 350/460 series

Hi Ted,
I have the following T206 with American beauty 350 subjects, with frame backs from your list:
Anderson, Providence
Schlafly, Newark

Also, the three recent confirmed Broad Leaf 350 cards were:
Mitchell, Cincinnati
Fletcher, New York Nat'l.
Fiene (throwing), Chicago Amer.

Not Dineen as previously posted.

I can confirm a Schlafly American Beauty though I no longer own the card. Here is a page from my T206 collection of many years ago showing the Schlafly. P.S. The assigned grades were from my own personal grading system.

EDIT: Unfortunately I cannot confirm that is a frame back.

[tedzan]

The greater majority of T206 Subjects (186) in the 350 Series have been confirmed with the American Beauty 350-Frame back (ABF).
There are 28 subjects that have yet to be confirmed. There is a 99 % certainty that 17 of these 28 were not printed with the ABF
back due to trades, retirements, or Minor Lge. reassignment....when the ABF cards were being printed (circa Summer of 1910).

Thanks for your time and effort in tracking down any of these 11 - T206's with the ABF back. Or, try to prove the experts wrong,
by discovering any one of the above 17 "NO-PRINT" Subjects with an ABF back.

Thanks ART M and RAWN and STEVE M

Anderson, Carrigan and Schlafly has been confirmed with ABF backs. I was expecting several more would have been reported by
now. But, this is a good start. After all......
"Who knows what strange combinations lurk in the permutations of THE MONSTER....only THE MONSTER knows"....

There may be as many as 28 American Beauty 350 frame "NO-PRINTS" in this series.

Your excerpt data from your T206 collection, when extrapolated, results in a very significant collection.

I'm curious, how many T206's did you have ?


Looking forward to seeing you in Cleveland in July.
