T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set survey....MISSION COMPLETE

[FrankWakefield]

The only American Beauty 460 that I still have... maybe on of the tougher ones.

Very nice Cobb....regarding how tough this is with an AB 460 back, I would rank it as medium-tough. From my experience
in putting together this sub-set, there are 3 levels of scarcity....very tough, medium tough, and not so tough. Perhaps, I
will post a list of the cards that fall into these three categories of scarcity in a subsequent post.


Best regards ole buddy,

Thank you, Ted.

I'd like to see a breakdown of American Beauty backs, series, frames, and difficulty. In an ideal world we could get Scot R. to revise or revisit his great work, or at least add an appendix that incorporates what you've done with cards by back.

That image up there with the cigarette and card sticking out of the pack, what's the middle line printed on the cigarette paper, between American Beauty and U.S.A.?

[tedzan]

The printing on each cigarette in this American Beauty pack is:

" American Beauty
The American Tobacco Co.
U. S. A. "


Best regards,

I have received several emails asking me if I won the rare AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 Orval Overall on ebay.

I did win this card with less than 1 second to go. My "counter-snipe" system worked perfect. Someone placed a snipe bid
of $176.01 in the last second. But, I still won it, with less than 1 second to go. Click on this link to check-out the bidding.

I'm proud of my system....it has "out-sniped" the snipers for me 14 out of 16 times this past year. That's an 87% success
rate....not too bad.

Hi Ted,

Just for your information I was the underbidder on that auction and if I had to lose the card to an anti-snipe system that I'm glad it was yours.

Best wishes,
