The T206 NO-PRINTS that I'm referring to are for brands such as AMERICAN BEAUTY, POLAR BEAR, SOVEREIGN, SWEET CAPORAL (Factory #30) are virtually known.
You can collect T206's till beyond the year 2111, and you will not find these NO-PRINTS. Elaborating on the SWEET CAPORAL example......
The 2nd most available T206 brand (next to PIEDMONT) is the SWEET CAPORAL (Factory #30). It comprises of 469 different subjects and the NO-PRINTS are..........
Ray Demmitt (St Louis American)
Joe Doyle N.Y. Nat'l (error)
Red Kleinow (Boston)
Carl Lundgren (Cubs)
Sherry Magie (error)
Bill O'Hara (St. Louis Nat'l)
Frank Smith (Chicago & Boston)
and,
all the 48 - Southern League cards.
One of the puzzling factors in collecting The Monster (or any of its sub-sets) is determining which front/back combinations exist and which were never printed.
We have discovered certain rules that apply to the various Series which enormously help us to determine which front/back combinations exist as a function of
a given T-brand.
But, new cards of the real tough brands like DRUM, red HINDU, LENOX, etc. are still surfacing....as two recent DRUM finds in the St. Louis area have revealed.
