The heyday of my T206 collecting ran from about 1981 to 1988. I was kind of obsessed. I stored my 1500+ duplicates in those little glassine envelopes that stamp collectors use. I think I learned that from either Lew or Barry. Don't be confused by the assigned grades. None of my cards were professionally graded and I had my own grading system where a "1" was mint, "2" near mint, etc. My set -4 averaged Ex+ By the late 90's around the time that ebay started my interest had started to wane and I started selling the cards. While I don't think it was a T206 this is my very first feedback on ebay: "Accurate grading, fast delievery, what more could you want!! sb1 ( 4797) Feb-14-98 16:17" Thanks Scott! Well that's the short version. I'm down to about 100 now, all SGC graded. ![]() |

Thanks for sharing your T206 story with us.
And, DITTO....to what you said...... "The heyday of my T206 collecting ran from about 1981 to 1988." That's the same time frame when I started collecting T206's. As you well know, it was a great time to be collecting them. However, after amassing 1000's of T206's and a near complete 521-card set, it was not enough. I had become obsessed with them. As is obvious, since I've never stopped collecting them. Best regards, TED Z |

The greater majority of T206 Subjects (187) in the 350 Series have been confirmed with the American Beauty 350-Frame back (ABF).
There are 27 subjects that have yet to be confirmed. There is a 99 % certainty that 17 of these 27 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). ![]() List of the 17 - T206's not expected to be found with ABF G.

Of the 214 subjects in the 350 Series, 188 have been confirmed with the American Beauty 350 (frame) back.
Let's try one more go around to see if we can confirm any of the above listed 26 cards. Thanks, TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 06-05-2009 at 08:12 PM. |

So, am I, by the way...... Regarding the Doolan (fielding) input, it was reported by a regular Net54 reader. He has provided confirmed T206 back inputs in the past that have been verified. On this Doolan, he remembers having this card several years ago. However, he is not 100% certain; and, will get back to me. Perhaps, this Doolan (fielding) is being blurred with the Doolan (batting)......that we know exists with an American Beauty 350. And, of course, the AB 350 back on the Doolan (batting) is without the Frame. In any event, I posted the Doolan (fielding) with an ABF back in order to see if any one else can confirm it...or refute it (as you appear to be). Personally, I have not seen one in the 28 years that I've been collecting T206's. Finally, I can vouch for the fact that the Doolan (fielding) card is in the 1910 COUPON set and has been confirmed with a Broad Leaf 350 back (and these two facts with most other T206's in the 350 Series imply the possibilty of an ABF back). Thanks for your response and let's see what develops in this case. TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 06-10-2009 at 09:48 AM. |
