Something sticking in the back of my mind came out today
I have a series 2 Johnson green background.

With a Tolstoi back Adam? If so, can you post scans?
All the best Brent

Not a Tolstoi back. Perhaps my post was confusing. What I am trying to get my arms around is the idea that the 49 cards listed above are "T218 series 2 subjects." I don't think that's an accurate characterization. The green bg Johnson would seem to break that rule since it can be found in either series 1 or series 2 back format. I also have series 1 backs of Gans, Gardiner, M. Sullivan and Walsh, all of which are on the series 2 list, which would seem to be enough exceptions to the rule to destroy the rule.

I need to back up as well...
I've never collected the T218 master set or even focused on a complete set but I have focused on a T218 Tolstoi boxing subset set for a few years. When I saw a post from an individual that had claimed he figured out the T218 issue I began to cross reference my Tolstoi list(I thought all 61 were available at one time) and realized that all 26 boxers he had listed in Series 2 were all that I had on my list as confirmed. I figured the coincidence of this happening was next to mathematically impossible and from that time concluded the Tolstoi boxing subset was complete at 26. Since that time I have yet to see or acquire a Tolstoi boxer outside of this list.
I wish others that collect T218's or Tolstoi backs could comment on this list to see if they have any non-boxers that aren't captured in the referenced list in this thread. All the best Brent Last edited by butcher354435; 06-29-2009 at 02:39 PM.

T218s
I've put together a T218 set and have several C52 cards as well. I can confirm
that the 4 Tolstoi cards that I have are all on your list of Series 2 cards (Bursch, Fielding, Keating and Northridge). As stated earlier, several cards are available with both Series 1 and Series 2 backs. I was surprised to see so many C52 cards shown that have numbers above 50, since it says "50 Designs" on the back and all the ones I have are between number 1 and 50. It looks like I have a lot farther to go to get the entire set than I had thought. - Dave

C52 has two series, Dave
50 cards each. There is a #50 Walsh and a #50 Keyes, so there's really 101 cards.
It would be way cool if Tolstoi was a 26 card subset; a lot easier than 61 cards to put together. However, with all the stuff that pops up I am a never say never kind of catalog writer when it comes to T cards.

C52's
There are 2 number 50s? I've noticed other discrepancies in the C52 list. PSA has a partial list that has #3 Tippett, #8 Gissing and #33 Lunghi but I've seen these 3 numbers with different cards - #3 Murphy, #8 McFarland and #33 McGrath. Is it possible that there are really 150 cards (or maybe all 153 cards) - with 2 groups labeled #1-#50 and another group with #51-#100? I always find it odd that so little is known about a set that has been around for 100 years. They must be pretty scarce, or maybe nobody collects them.
