Default Subtle differences in the T206 set's 15 repeated designs

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Reprised

American Lithographic Company in NYC designed the 522 cards in the T206 set by producing 507 different
gems of artwork. Two were captioned erroneously (Magie & Joe Doyle) so they are just "misfits" of the 507.
Therefore, 15 of the 522 are repeated designs (or "twins"). Of these 15 designs, 11 were initially issued in
the the 150 Series, and with their twins are first shown here. These twins have different background colors,
uniform changes, or reflect a team change (some are slightly cropped from their 150 Series counterparts).

The first 6 subjects displayed here are the SUPER PRINTS.....which were issued in the 350/460 Series; and,
can be found with as many as 24 various Tobacco backs representative of the 350/460 Series (except their
American Beauty 350 back is the Frame version. Also, these 6 cards do not exist with American Beauty 460
backs).



....................150 Series.......................350 Series................460 Series





...................150 Series.......................350-only Series




...................150 Series.......................350 Series..................460 Series



................................................35 0-only Series..................460 Series



These St. Louis variations were printed only with POLAR BEAR backs.
