T210-3 Orange Borders

[rdixon1208]

Hey guys. I know this has been discussed, but I was hoping we could revisit it. I’ve been doing some digging, and I was able to find scans/photos of the following T210 Orange Bordered cards:

Billiard 1
Blanding 2
Burch 4
Curry 3
Firestine 3
Gordon 3
Hooks 2
Johnston 3
Jones 2
Leidy 1
Nagel 2
Northen 2
Slaven 2
Stringer 2
Thebo 2
Yantz 2

I also found some text that indicated that there are examples out there of Tullas, Alexander, Kip, Munsell, and Stinson. Can any of you confirm this? Do you have scans? Are there any other examples that you’ve seen or heard of?

This year’s REA auction had a series 3 complete set in it with 13 orange borders. However, each of the OB’s in the lot had previously known examples. With that many, I would really expect some new subjects. I know there used to be a belief that every card in the series 3 set was printed with an ob, but the fact that we keep seeing the same subjects over and over makes me think that this is very unlikely. Any thoughts?

Here's my only one


If anyone wants the scans/pics that I found online, send me a PM

I am pretty sure I picked up a Stinson for a fellow board member last yr at Balt. Nationals. He frequents the board and I am sure will chime in.

Mine is a Nagel. No scan yet, I've had it since the early 90's.

My lone example-

I own the Firestine, Gordon, and Nagel Orange Border cards. I also checked my research notes and I don't believe there are any documented examples of a Dallas, Shreveport, or Fort Worth player which would indicate that during the printing process they corrected the problem after finishing with these teams : Houston, San Antonio, Waco, Galveston, Oklahoma City. Brian may have some more to add to this as he has been collecting these rascals as long as I have, and has several examples.

Thanks, JJ


Edited to add Jones (A 4th OB I own that I forgot to add in this thread)

I think I still have these for examples but know for sure I have the yellowish looking one. My good friend, John Esch, in Ft. Worth has a really yellow one.....The more yellow the neater they are to me.....Brian M. does know more about these than most as he does collect 'em fairly earnestly.....regards

OK, as far as can tell there are 20 known subjects:

Alexander
Billiard
Blanding
Burch
Curry
Firestine
Gordon
Hooks
Johnston
Jones
Kip
Leidy
Munsell
Nagel
Northen
Slaven
Stinson
Stringer
Thebo
Yantz


He may have an updated list, but in 2009 Brian M listed the same 20 players through his research.

Jeremy, in your post you said that they might have corrected the problem after finishing some of the teams. That's assuming that they were printed team-by-team. Does anyone know if this is true?

It seems to me that if there are 20 known subjects that they could have all been printed together?

Leon, the reason I asked about your friend's yellow card is because of these:

There's an obvious color progression, and that's what made me wonder....
