T206 Drums vs Uzits, Redux

[teetwoohsix]

Great article!!Thanks for posting it Craig.That is the truth,a large find can sort of "tip the scales" when it comes to the rarer backs.

I think these finds are going to continue to happen every now and again,as people pass away,as people buy and renovate old homes and barns,etc..

My grandfather recently passed away,and my gramdmother gave my mother some boxes of his things.In these boxes were quite a few old tin type photos,and other cabinet type photos(not of ballplayers).They were all photos of relatives from back in those days,and we had never seen them before!!!At the time my mother was showing all of these to me,I thought to myself "this is how a "find" happens".

Sincerely,Clayton

Agreed.

The thing that makes it even more likely is that original collectors often smoked the same brand of cigarettes. So someone in 1910 could have been an Uzit or Drum man just like you could be a Marlboro or man today. Therefore, the possibility of seeing a block of 10 or 20 or even 100 rarebacks of the same brand in one shot exists.
