2 T206 Mysteries

[Runscott]

Can anyone identify both of them? (Johnny, stop drooling)

[mordecaibrown]

I assume the individual on the Piedmont back is Bescher, Cincinnati from the reverse player name on the bottom of the card under the factory stamp.

Not sure of the other...

haha. I did not even notice his name at the bottom.

I always get the Wiltse (portrait with cap) and Schlei portraits confused...

[T206.org]

I did an overlay of Chase Pink in Photoshop and it fit A+ for the front transfer. I'm pretty confident that's who it is.

[Mikehealer]

The front overlay looks kind of like Jennings portrait.

[T206.org]

Hmm, maybe B+ after all... very close though.

Erick is right that the actual card is Wiltse. I hadn't thought that the red image might be someone else. The ghost looks like Wiltse to me, but my eyes aren't great.

Here's Wiltse, consulting his ghostly advisor:

The transfer on the back appears to be T206 Bescher.
Not sure about the one on the front yet.

Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb. Do I win?

[t206hound]

I'd recognize that shoulder anywhere... Schlei portrait, correct?

[christopher.herman]

Creepy.

Whoops!!!!

Darn - I thought you were right, then I posted the image and realized that you were not. Good guess.

[mordecaibrown]

Ill take a guess that the other picture is Chief Meyers Portrait - looks like the right jaw line and nose/mouth.

Thats my other guess besides Bescher.

And yes Trae - great minds and timing on that earlier one.

No. Bailiff - whack his peepee

Also not Meyers, Chase or Schlei.

Wiltse - do I win a card!

[T206.org]

Lol mordecaibrown - identical response time

I think the front transfer is Chase Blue or Pink Portrait. (leaning towards pink since it's in red)

[atx840]

I have been hunting that Downey/Cassidy double front for a while, current owner no response thanks for sharing as that is a much nicer scan.

[mrvster]

Hey Scott

I remember you having 2 upside down backs and they did really well on ebay but I passed on them because I picked this one up for 30 bucks in a group of Sweet Caps

Nice card - that's the way to do it!

Yes, the Huggins was one of them. I picked up those two in a huge lot of ungraded cards from Mastro - I paid way too much for the lot, but just wanted a bunch of cards to sort through, so it satisfied my craving. Those two cards helped me to break even on the lot - there weren't any keepers in it other than those two.

I found ALL the scans of my old T206 collection, and have 'culled' the tough backs and 'printers scrap'. I'm thinking of doing a small website with nothing but freak cards like this, grouping them by type, and inviting you all to send scans for inclusion.

[Jaybird]

Those upside down backs are cool. I've had a few miscuts but nothing upside down. Johnny got this one from me...



But I still have these two modest miscuts:

[atx840]

Those are great cards.

Jantz, if you do get to a pc please send over any others you have.

Chris, I just sent you the versions I have (all 21).

[atx840]

Based on the 21 known double name cards. High res available.

[t206hound]

Excellent work; I don't know for sure, but it might be possible to determine the multi-pose subjects on "top" based on the the back + series.

For example, the Bradley-Bender is a P150 and based on the "Consolidated Lists" thread, only the Bender Portrait is in P150.

[atx840]

If it can be confirmed which pose that would be great, I have very little back info on these.

Chris - The one's you are missing that can be definitively determined are:

Bender (Portrait)
Jordan (Portrait)
Chance (Portait-red)
Bresnahan (Portrait)

Myers could be the Batting or Fielding pose.

[atx840]

Thanks Tim, that is why this forum is so great

[Jantz]

Chris

Nice display! Thank you for posting it up.

Couldn't the Jordan on the Jennings card also be the batting version? It's a series 350 card also...
