Old UZIT Collection May Add to Checklist
Posted By: barrysloate
I was just going through an old folder and found a photocopy of 27 T206, all with UZIT backs, that were being offered for sale by old time hobbyist Jack Smalling in the 1980's. I thought I would list them here, as it might add to the known checklist. He wanted $1250 for all 27, and most were EX-MT or NR MT. I passed on them. Here's the group: |

Jack Smalling of Ames, Iowa? He's famous to me since he invented the autograph checklist system for major leaguers. If you have ever seen an autographed 3x5 with a number in the top/middle and another at the top/right, they are marked using his system. He was also one of the first to sell home addresses of former major leaguers and a true pioneer in the hobby. |

Richard- I did know that Jack Smalling published a book with ballplayers' addresses to assist collectors who wanted to write to them for autographs. When he sent me the list of 27 Uzits, he also offered a partial T206 set, and then added he had 800 more T206 that he had yet to catalog, many with interesting backs. I can only imagine how many tough ones were in that group. |

barry- not to make you feel bad, but EACH card today would be worth $1250 at least, in the condition you said they were in...oops. |

I'm aware they are valuable, but even if I had bought them, they would have all been sold within a couple of months. At the time I was afraid it was too big a group, and it would be difficult to find that many customers. Times have changed. |

I assume Bill reads the board and will copy the information. The amazing thing was the condition of them...a few were beaters but more than twenty looked pack fresh (give or take). |

Barry- I've had so many sets of T206 over the years I've lost count, not to mention the thousands of singles. I think my T206 collecting days have past...but I still love them! |

It was because the first time I ordered a bunch of 1969's, I got a mess of the tough white letter variations. For some reason Jack had a lot of the white letter cards. The only other place I ever saw original White Letter variations were in Albany NY |

I got a blank back, a Uzit, a Tolstoi, a Lenox and a Broadleaf (350) in a Robert Oser auction about 1994 for $185. The Tolstoi and Lenox were Tinker, with bat on and off. Wish I'd kept the blank back. The only card I've ever traded.... |

Barry- your choice was funny because if I won I decided I was going to ask for the Green Cobb! |

I define "common" as not rare...and the Green Cobb isn't rare, hence it is a common. (Isn't that a logical syllogism?) |
