Great stuff, Pat.

An original T206 collection from South Carolina, which I acquired back in 2006 of approx. 400 cards essentially reinforces your research.
This collection of assorted PIEDMONT 150 and 350 cards included 29 - OLD Mill Southern Leaguer's. The owner of these cards got them
from his Grandfather, who he said collected them in his youth exclusively in 1909.

Thanks Ted. Finding the ad has me wondering if the initial Old Mill SL printing
mirrored the Hindu and brown Old Mills and were lacking the same 14 subjects.
You don't happen to have a list of the 29 Old Mill Sothern Leaguers from that
find do you?

I was thinking the same as you are; and, I have searched for my list of those 29 - OLD Mill Southern Leaguer's. But, so far have been unable to find it.

I will keep on searching.

The following is an excerpt from the Net54 thread (Aug 2006) that I posted in which I reported of my 400+ T206 find..... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=82314

" A month ago I was fortunate enough to acquire a 446 card T206 collection......409
cards are Piedmont 150/350....5 are P460-only....and 26 are Southern Leaguers
with OLD MILL backs. It was the original collection of the seller's Grandfather; who
grew up in South Carolina (and apparently his father strictly enjoyed Piedmont Cigs).
Also, there are 6 Sweet Cap 350/460 Fac. 42 cards. Some cards are Vg/Ex, but most
are Ex.....a well preserved collection with many HOFers. "

At that time, I was deeply involved in completing my all-PIEDMONT set and I think I failed to record the 26 (corrected) OLD MILL Southern Leaguer (SL) cards. As I cannot find any
information regarding them. Although, I do recall this SL group included Breitenstein, Shaughnessy, Foster, and Revelle.
