Collecting Around The Fringes: T206

[T206Collector]

One of the common themes in all of these fringe T206 collections is that condition is totally irrelevant. Sure, you'd like the cards to shine, but getting a card that satisfies the extremely narrow and bizarre collector requirements is far more important. Condition becomes totally irrelevant.

scanning the cards is so easy there is no reason not to. weather it is 10 or 75.

thanks and we went fishing in Delaware this morning but the wind was so strong we could barely fish but it was the same result I caught 2 fish and Jim was in double digits with 3 16 inch crappies and 1 3lb bass.

Wouldn't it be nice to be on the hoarding show laying in a room full of rare backs with no where to move but your little living space. I think its like that at B's house. Golf balls and rare backs.

Howe McCormick... Where are you?

Anybody else collect unusual stamps on the backs of T206 cards?

I don't have anything in the same league as what's been shown, but just wanted to say that you all have some awesome cards !!! Love the missing ink cards- those are great !!!

Best I have are a few ink transfers (wet sheet transfers) and some ink shifts- but IMO not in the same league as these. Love those tough back runs too, and who wouldn't love signed T206's ?!? Amazing stuff you guys.......thanks for showing these cards.

Sincerely, Clayton

Hi there,

I collect T206s with any period back stamp on them. In particular I am always on the lookout for the purple number back stamps like the one you see in my avatar. I don't come across them very often, but thanks to several fellow collectors on the board I have been able to add some to my collection.

Ted Z added the Hindu backed example a while back and I am very thankful for that one.

I am also working on a project documenting as many different back stamps as I can. If you click the link in my signature you can see the project. I haven't updated it in some time but I do have a lot of images that I have to load to the site. It's finding the time to do it that is the problem.

Most of the purple number stamped cards are mine, but not all of them.

I hope you enjoy and maybe some of you can help me with the project sometime.

Best,

AndyH
