Wow, that's an incredible amount of activity on a BST item in a very short period of time. Seems like more people on this board collect T206's than anything else.

Thanks for all the offers. I don't want to rat out the high bidder's number - but let's just say bidding at this point is over 3k. I'm getting a bunch of low dollar bids so hopefully this at least keeps anyone from not knowing if they should offer or not.


Thanks so much for the interest. And again please ask any questions you may need.

I don't want to get in the fray, but will be a willing buyer for some that may not come out all that well.

Offers will be taken up until Wednesday evening, 6PM EST.


Thanks -

Hey Dave, Do we have any idea where the scrapbook originated? If so, that could sway my mind as to other back possibilites besides Piedmont and Sweet Caporal?

Also interesting that all nine of the loose card are 350 subjects only. Could this have been put together in just 1910, and if so what other brands does that automatically rule in or rule out?

I like how the cards were place in nice straight rows!

Thank you for any input.

The family has been in the Atlanta area since the early 1900's. The scrapbook would have been put together in Georgia.


As far as the 350 subjects being the only ones showing as far as the loose cards, that was brought to my attention early on and I don't have an answer as to how that would work. I don't know if you put the album together in 1910 if predominately what you would have bought would have been 350 subjects or if you should still have a portion of 150 subjects mixed in...i'm not sure. There are T206 experts that probably know much more about that than I do.
