The key thing is that anyone who wants to get involved can be as creative as they want in researching the origins of a particular card......

Great start for this new T206 site. And, kudos to you for wanting everyone on this forum to contribute (instead of this being limited to a "closed group" of crony's).
For the past 10+ years, the free exchange of ideas from ALL the members on Net54 has made this forum the great marketplace of BB card info that it has become.

Best regards, and good luck with this new adventure.


P.S.....I have quite a number of T206 player inputs that you will find interesting; and, I will contact you regarding them before I post them here.

Scott- Good luck with the project. From what I have seen it is a very well done site. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun too. Congratulations.

Funny Ted when you were a member of the "closed group of cronies" you never seem to have an issue with the way things were shared amongst the group.

Even more humorous for a guy who has always claimed conspiracy’s and accused others of deliberately mudslinging against your good name anytime they disagree with you. Ted you sure seem to be spending a lot of time lighting up, taking shots and belittling Jim & Tim’s efforts publicly in regards to their website.

A website for the record which is free to the public, a website that lists people who they feel were instrumental in helping them. Finally a website that isn’t a front for fraud such as Chan’s site which BTW I don’t remember you up in arms over that site posting robbed info.

So as usual it’s ok for you beat on others as long as they don’t hold you to task. Oh well nothing new, well I guess now’s a good a time as any to email Leon and tell him how evil I am perhaps Wakefield will hop in and ask for my blood type to be next to my post. Ted time to add some sugar to this "whine" because these are some very sour grapes.

BTW while I have your attention love to see your new Magie card, or did you just sell it?

Thanks John - very much appreciated. So far I have ZERO pages set up as envisioned, so there is a lot of work to do. When my job ends in April I will have literally all day to work on baseball-related activities such as this, so that's when I expect this to take off. Believe me - I have tons of ideas.

Simon Nicholls was a very devoted family man, who so loved his Maryland farm, that when Connie Mack scouted him from the Maryland
Agricultural College (now Univ. of Maryland), Simon would commute to Philadelphia from his farm. Simon was one of the first graduates
from this College. And, Connie Mack preferred to have College guys on his A's team. Nicholls' life story is the "stuff" that used to inspire
some great true life Hollywood BB movies.

Connie Mack acquired Nicholls at the end of the 1906 season. Simon was an average hitter, but an excellent shortstop. One of Nicholls'
best days at bat was on Opening Day of Shibe Park on April 12, 1909. He got a Double, 2 Singles, and a Walk. He scored 4 Runs to win
the 1st game at the A's new Stadium....in front of an unprecedented 35,000 fans.

December 1, 1909, Connie Mack traded Nicholls to Cleveland. This trade hurt Nicholls, since it took him away from his family and farm.
So, after 3 games with Cleveland, Nicholls retired. That season he connected with Jack Dunn, Manager of Baltimore (Eastern League),
who was impressed with Nicholls' play and made him field captain in 1911. Unfortunately, Nicholls contracted typhoid fever and died at
the young age of 28 on Mar 12, 1911.

Nicholls 350 Series T206 card (with bat pose) was actually intended by American Lithographic as a 350/460 series subject. Proof of this
is found in the SOVEREIGN "350/460" group of 66 subjects. Furthermore, his card was printed with an American Beauty 350 (No Frame)
back. However, this card of Nicholls was not printed with any 460 series backs. I'm sure this was due to his Major League career ending
in early 1910 (prior to the printing of any of the 460 series backs).
