100th anniversary of T201's....show and/or tell us of your cards

tedzan · #1 01-12-2011, 05:05 PM

My guess on the availability of the T201 cards was the Summer/Fall of 1911. Four subjects (Grant, Hartzell, Laporte, and Lobert)
were traded to their identified teams in Jan - Feb of 1911. Furthermore, we know that the Gold-bordered sets (T205, T80, etc.)
were available in the Spring/Summer of 1911.
Just my speculation....if anyone here has some more info. regarding tgis, p;ease chime in.

I picked this up raw from a guy in England a few years ago...was pleasantly surprised that it graded out as well as it did. One of my favorites...sorry no back scan.

Those "quantum field theory" dudes are going to have a field day with that pic. Did you get up on your roof to take that shot (with room to spare) or did you borrow the hubble telescope???

Lovely Day...

Iggy,

I just emailed you as well. Can you tell me the dimensions of the extra margins on the side of your Cobb & Johnson? This might give us an idea of the size of the printing sheet.

Thanks

One of my favorites, a four in one: Crawford, Cobb, Turner and Stovall.

I like the way Beckett grades these. If all the players can be identified, in this case four, it is considered an error and given a full grade. Had all players not been on there, it would have been severely downgraded instead. Very different than the PSA miscut qualifier.

Another error:

Hey guys, some of these T201's came out of MECCA packs from the tobacco plant in New York City (Factory #30).
Other T201's came out of MECCA packs from the tobacco plant in Rochester, New York (Factory #649).

My T201 set of 103 cards (includes an extra Chance/Evers, Johnson/Street, & Crawford/Cobb) have 48 cards with
Factory #649 backs and 5 cards with Factory #30 backs.
Another T201 set has 47 cards with Factory #649 backs and 3 cards with Factory #30 backs.

I'm curious, if this Factory's distribution is typical for these T201 cards ?

Please check out your cards and tell us what you have ? ?

Thanks for your time and effort on this survey.
