T206 PIEDMONT 460 Factory 42 survey......UPDATED

[tedzan]

Reprising the "Lonely 12" subjects that have been confirmed with the Piedmont 460/42 back.

Bergen (catching)
Chase (Trophy)
Devore
Kleinow (Boston)
Latham
Merkle (throwing)
Murray (portrait)
Overall (blue sky)
Schaefer (Washington)
Seymour (portrait)
Smith (Boston & Chicago)
Wiltse (portrait-cap)

I refer to these 12 cards as the "lonely 12" because after years of tracking P 460/42 backs, I think there
was a very limited printing of the P 460/42 backs with respect to the 460-only series.


Here's the list of the remaining 36 cards in the 460-only series that have NOT been confirmed......

Abbaticchio (blue sleeves)
Ball (Cleveland)
Bell (follow thru)
Bescher (hands in air)
Bridwell (portrait-cap)
Camnitz (arms folded)
Camnitz (hands at side)
Chance (batting)
Crandall (portrait-cap)
Doyle (portrait)
Duffy
Ford
Frill
Gandil
Geyer
Herzog (Boston)
Howell (hands at waist)
Hummell
Lake (St Louis-ball)
Marquard (follow thru)
McGraw (portrait-cap)
McGraw (glove)
Meyers
Needham
Oldring (batting)
Payne
Pfeffer
Schlei (portrait)
Schlei (batting)
Schulte (back view)
Sheckard (glove)
Smith (Brooklyn)
Stovall (batting)
Tannehill (Chicago)
Tinker (bat on shoulder)
Wheat


Remember that I will give you $10 for every one of these 36 that you report with a Piedmont 460/42 back.

Thanks for taking the time to check-out your T206's.

You are the King, big guy. So tell me, why is LATHAM more abundantly seen with a P 460/42 back than most other cards ?

You have two....and the one I have, I got from you. Also, I know of at least two other Latham's.

Cobb (bat)............3

Johnson (pitch)......3

Lajoie (bat)...........3

Matty (dark cap)....3

CYoung (glove)......3


Thanks guys for all your inputs. I know this is a very tough T206 back....but, if we can
get as many as 13 inputs of the Red Cobb portrait with the PIEDMONT 460/42 back.....
then I'm sure we can get some more inputs on these 5 cards.

Add Bradley and Chase to the pop list

I owned a Johnson (Piedmont 42), but sold it several months back. It was in a PSA 2 holder:

(Edited to add that I think it might be the one that Craig posted about, but I don't remember off hand).

[White Borders]

Yep, the Johnson that Eric posted above is the one I now own and listed. He's been freed of his PSA tomb and now resides next to his Polar Bear backed twin in a nice binder.

That Big Train is a helluva nice two-geez!

Ted,

I think it is a statistical fluke that more copies of Latham P42 have surfaced in this survey than the other 460-onlys. All 12 of the "lonely 460-only" subjects are tougher with P42 than the 350/460s are with that back, in my opinion. I believe I saw one Latham P42 on eBay in the five years that I religously tracked T206 auctions (2003-2008).

And where, oh where, is that Tinker (Bat Off)!

Best,

Scot
