Re-visiting PIEDMONT 460 Fac. #42 cards....are there any more than 72 of them ?
 

Hi Val

I like your PIEDMONT #42 Walter Johnson.....however, I don't have any of the trade material you are looking for.

Good luck at the National.

Pd 42
 

Ted knows the 42's are near and dear to my heart. Being in NC I decided to collect these backs for both the T206 and T205 sets. One card I want to upgrade is the T205 Evers. If anyone has a 2 or better let me know.

I don't know of any new discoveries of 42's since the Tinker showed up a few years ago. I believe Ted had seen the card before but no picture had been taken. The same 4 culprits in the T206 set that were thought to be verified have yet to turn up. These names can be found in the T206 PD 42 set list.

Thanks Ted for bringing up these 42's once again.

Hi Adam

I really have enjoyed our wheeling-n-dealing with these PIEDMONT #42 cards over
the past 14 years. Especially when you would discover a Pd #42 that was unknown.

Take care, my good friend.

Adam....can you send me your T205 PIEDMONT #42 check-list.... tedzan11@comcast.net

Is it just a coincidence that the T206 set has 72 subjects confirmed with the PIEDMONT #42 backs, and the
T205 set has 72 subjects confirmed with the PIEDMONT #42 backs ?

Being a numbers guy, makes me think it isn't a coincidence, but dictated by factors in the printing process.

Hi Chris

Tinker, in my opinion, is the toughest 42 ?

Is your's still available ?

Hey guys,

So far, we have only 23 different T206 subjects on display with PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 backs in this thread.

I expected at least 36 of the known 72 subjects with this rare back would have been posted.

So, come on guys, let us put on a show here and post more of them. These elusive T206's add a certain amount of
"sophistication" to our T-card collections. Especially some of the tougher ones (such as the above T206 Tinker).

TRIVIA.....the NAME's the SAME....a T206 guy's name "coincides" with 1950's TOPPS guy
 

Can you name these two Major Leaguers, who had their moment of "greatness" approx. 50 years apart ?

Should be easy......if not, I will provide some more hints.

Hi Ted - Are Frank Smith the players you are looking for?

This is a stretch because I am matching a first name to a last name but...

In 1910, Sherry Magee had his best season, leading the league in R, RBI, BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+, TB, and WAR (most, but not all, of these categories were also career bests).

In 1959, Larry Sherry was the World Series MVP, going 2-0 for the Dodgers with an 0.71 ERA and saving the two games he did not win (he did not start a game but finished every game the Dodgers won).

I am not sure if these names "coincide" enough to be the answer Ted is looking for...if not, I will keep looking.

Edited to add: it turns out Sherry is not a "1950's Topps guy" since his first card was in 1960. So I will try again tomorrow.
