T206Resource.com - a new T206 site

Hi Tim,

I very much like the breakout checklists by back--that was much needed.

I noticed that you have described the blank back as "not distributed" but have made no similar notation regarding Brown Old Mill Southern. Have you confirmed a factory cut Brown OMS?

Hi Scot,

Thanks for your question. I know we make mention of the brown Old Mills only being hand cut several places on the site, but let me know if there is somewhere we aren't clear. And to answer your question, no we have never seen a factory cut brown Old Mill.

The following are a couple of excerpts from the site:

Back Scarcity Page
^Old Mill (SL) – Brown & Blank Back
These two backs were not inserted into packs, and both are essentially printers scrap. Some might not consider these necessary for a complete back run, but because of their scarcity and ties to the set, they will remain highly prized by many collectors.

Back Advertisements Page
These cards are printers scrap, were not issued in packs and are all hand-cut.

Print Group 6 Page
These cards essentially were printers scrap and never factory cut or distributed in packages.

Again, please let me know if there is somewhere we weren't clear regarding the brown Old Mills and we'll add the necessary text.

Great site ! Thanks for all the hard work on this.

I have one question: If I'm at an estate sale and they would have an unopened cigarette pack, how would I know if any baseball cards could be it in ?

Is this information on the site ? Any markings etc I would need to look for.

Thanks

We have not put any information regarding the packaging onto the site yet, but we will be in the near future.

The tax stamp on the pack will be the first thing you will look for. This information would tell you if the pack in question could include a baseball card. For more information on how to read the tax stamp Click Here

Once you understand how to date the pack you will know if it falls within the time frame that T206's were inserted into that brand.

Keep in mind that ATC inserted other non sport cards during the time period T206's were produced, like birds and fish, into the same brands as baseball cards.

There are several boards members that have a great deal of knowledge on this subject.

Scot - I think I figured out the place on the site in question. On the "Backs" page all of the cards printed factory numbers, including the brown Old Mill, are referenced with the exception of the blank back which said "Not Distributed." I changed the blank back description to say "No Factory" so there isn't a conflict.

Let me know if this was it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi Tim,
Yeah, "not distributed" was the source of my confusion. I like the change you made to "no factory". Again, kudos to you, Jim and the others on the site.
