Talking & showing T205's...Completed the set ? then try for T205 "Quad Squad" subsets

[tedzan]

Let's see some of your favorite T205 cards, rare backs, sub-sets, Cigarette packs, Advertisements, etc. Near Mint cards, or less than Vg cards (condition is
immaterial) for this show.

Mission accomplished.....my first T205 "Quad Squad" (as I like to refer to it) is a printing arrangement that American Lithographic (ALC) first designed into
the T206 set during their printing of the 350 Series (Summer 1910). It includes 190 subjects in this T206 Series. For more info refer to...…
https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...=237816&page=1 Post #25.

It combines subjects with the American Beauty = Broad Leaf = Cycle = Drum (A = B = C = D) backs. In 1911 ALC repeated this pattern in the T205 set.
But, only with 32 subjects. For more on this group of 32, refer to.... T205 DRUM vs HINDU....or, other tough front/back combos....let's talk T205's

Having said all that, I'm happy to say that I have finally completed my first T205 A = B = C = D run..... Harry Wolter (from my Highlanders / Yankees set).

I acquired this Wolter DRUM card 5 years ago from Joe Drelich, and I thought the other three members of this "Quad Squad" would come easy.
But, searching for certain T205 front/back combos can be tough. And Ringo Starr in his 1971 song titled "It Don't Come Easy"....said it best



.



Further research reveals this special group of 32 subjects, which were printed with the A = B = C= D pattern, were printed with a total of 12
different Tobacco advertising backs. Twelve backs are the max....the other 176 subjects in the T205 set were printed with less than 12 backs.

Check-list of the 12 different T205 backs for this group of 32 subjects.………...

AMERICAN BEAUTY (Black ink) **
BROAD LEAF (black or green ink)
CYCLE
DRUM
HASSAN (Factory #30)
HASSAN (Factory #649)
HONEST LONG CUT
PIEDMONT (Factory #25)
PIEDMONT (Factory #42)
POLAR BEAR
SOVEREIGN
SWEET CAPORAL (Factory #42) Red ink


**Note.....
the key factor in this A = B = C = D equation is the Black American Beauty back. Note that the T205 subjects with the Green American Beauty
back will NOT be found with a DRUM back.


Stay tuned....the Check-list for this group of 32 subjects will be included in the next post here.

I have the set as well! Lots of favorites but I’ll post my highest graded card for now. I was working through an auction and was getting outbid in a number of cards. Saw this one & said what the heck & threw in a bid. Very happy to have it and hopeful he has a PSA8 brother very soon!

The above 5 names in bold letters have not yet been confirmed with a DRUM back.
But, they have been confirmed with the A - B - C backs. Therefore, I expect these
5 subjects will eventually be discovered with the DRUM back.

DRUM cards of certain T205 subjects appear to be scarcer than T206 DRUM cards.

Since someone said Hoblitzell No Stats here's mine. The lowest graded card in my set. I still say this is tougher to find than a Wagner (but much, much more affordable, of course!!). Didn't realize how tough it was until after I picked it up.

[GeoPoto]

I don't have a dog in the ABCD hunt. I am early in several back runs, however, such as this one featuring Walter Johnson across SC25/SC42B/SC42R/PB/HLC.

I think my Beals Becker has a green Broad Leaf back. Does anyone have Becker with a black back? Could that account for a Drum back not being found? I think with American Beauty, if it has one color, it does not have another. Is Broad Leaf the same way?

Great cards so far y'all, congrats on the latest Wolter, Ted. The only complete ABCD subject I have is Bridwell. I'm past halfway on the complete set, with lots of back runs for different players.

[brianp-beme]

My T205 education stopped at ABC. I guess this collector moves to the beat of someone else's Drum.

Brian

[gonzo]

My Becker is dark green (scan below).
Right now, I feel like the text colors for Broad Leaf are probably a continuum, kind of like how Piedmont 25 can range from lighter blue to very dark blue, meaning that any BL could be found with some shade in a green-to-brownish-grey range. But I'm open-minded on that.


Here's ABCD for Latham.

You raise an interesting question regarding the possible "non-connection" of a Green BROAD LEAF card vs. DRUM back (with respect to your Becker card with the Green ink
back). However, your Bridwell BROAD LEAF appears to be Green ? And, Bridwell has been confirmed with a DRUM back.

Furthermore, the various A = B= C "Quad Squad" sub-sets which I have (waiting for DRUM backs to complete them) have Black BROAD LEAF backs. Huggins is my favorite
"Quad Squad" sub-set. The Huggins card has not yet been confirmed with a DRUM back. But his BROAD LEAF back is Black ink. Therefore, I have high expectations that his
DRUM card will eventually be discovered.

I have not seen enough T205 BROAD LEAF cards to form an accurate correlation between their color variations (green, blue, etc.) and the DRUM cards. There aren't too many
BROAD LEAF cards with these other color variations available to make an honest evaluation. The greater majority of BROAD LEAF backs are Black ink (or Brown).

One factor I am certain of in this A = B = C = D equation is that the Black AMERICAN BEAUTY back correlates exactly with existence (or probability) of a DRUM back.

Conversely, T205 subjects printed with the Green AMERICAN BEAUTY backs are mutually-exclusive with T205's with DRUM backs.

John Lobert is another one of my "Quad Squad" guys....which for now is just a "tri-squad" sub-set, since no DRUM card of John Lobert has yet to be discovered.
But, I do I have high expectations that his DRUM card will eventually be discovered.

Lobert was one fast running dude. This example best attests to this.....in 1913, he and Jim Thorpe raced the 100 yard dash at the Polo Grounds and Lobert won.

I think the grade at the time was around 4.3. It's a far different set today as many in this photo have been upgraded but the feeling of seeing it all like this was very unreal!

Still my favorite set and one I'll likely continue to upgrade for years and hopefully decades to come!!

I was trying to upgrade everything to 5 or higher, but I personally graded a bunch of cards that I had bought in the 1980s and got some harsh 4s from PSA. Every time I found a 5 to upgrade it was in worse condition because it was an old grade. I have pretty much given up on upgrading. I have 4 cards that I would like to eventually upgrade, but other than that I am done. It took me 32 years off and on to get to this point.

I’d have to say it’s unique unless whoever has the Hindu Johnson also has a similar group. Some other HoFs -could- exist with Hindu backs (anyone with the same backs as Johnson, so Young or Jennings), but I haven’t heard them reported as existing yet. A Drum Wheat could exist but has not been reported yet.

If you count “blank back” as a back, there’s a Speaker and a Cobb, and I believe a Mathewson, though I’ve never seen a scan of the latter. There’s also the McGraw scrap from Leon’s collection that Heritage auctioned a few years back. And I believe that a Collins Mouth Closed probably exists, but I’ve never heard one reported.

You might throw Piedmont 42 into your list as well. A bunch of Hall of Famers are available with the P42 back.

[tedzan]

Another group of T205's that fascinate me are the Minor Leaguers. I prefer the artwork on these 12 cards over the designs of the
other 196 subjects in this set.
Also, it is interesting that American Lithographic (ALC) printed a group of 12 subjects in the last Series (460-only) of the T206 set
which I refer to as the "Exclusive 12". Very similarly, ALC printed this group of 12 subjects representing Minor Leaguers at the tail
end of their T205 print run. How do we know these cards were printed late in the T205 game, just read their bios. Their bios have
information which indicates ALC printed these 12 guys circa Fall/Winter 1911. They are the T205 version of the "Exclusive 12".















Hey guys......Let's keep this T205 "ballgame" rolling, show some more T205 cards.

It's possible that the 14 "Cycle-Hassan 30-Piedmont 25" short-prints (Joss, Grant, Karger, etc.) were replaced by these 12 MLs.

I posted a thread a couple of months ago showing a case in which a T205 Minor Leaguer was printed on the same sheet as a National Leaguer. Maybe they padded the sheet out with a couple of other players to make up the difference.

Yes, there is certainly more than one copy of the Mordecai Brown Drum back (one may still be on ebay...was on there for a while) but I have never seen anyone else say they have a T205 Hall of Famer example with each type of all 11 brands of tobacco advertised on the back...it's tough since you would have to have the Mordecai Brown Drum back AND either a Walter Johnson or Hugh Duffy Hindu back since they are the only Hall of Famers known to exist with those backs.

Does anybody have an educated guess as to copies that exist of those 3 T205 cards...Brown Drum, Johnson Hindu, Duffy Hindu?

Hi John

Trust me.....Huggins and Wheat will eventually be discovered with DRUM backs. Ten years ago, when I first started studying the front/back permutations of T205 cards,
there were just 20 known with DRUM backs. Since then, 7 of the 12 additional T205 subjects which I predicted have been discovered. There are only 5 more remaining
to be discovered with the DRUM back.

There are mis-cuts, and then there are printing flaws, but this Collins card's back is quite interesting. As it reveals to us that this Collins
card was Double-Printed (horizontally) on its sheet.
Vertical Double-Printing of T206's is evident with same name on top and bottom. But, I don't recall that any T206's were Double-Printed
horizontally.
So, the mis-cut on this Collins card reveals a significant difference in the printing process for T205' cards.

with T205 cards or stuff.

I am proud to say..... Jack Quinn was one of many Pennsylvanians that are in the T206 set. In fact, the state of Pennsylvania
is the source of more BB players in the T206 set than any other State.

Pictured here besides Jack Quinn's T206 card is his 1933 GOUDEY card. He is the only active ballplayer to be in both of these
prominent sets. He was 50 years of age and still pitching for the Cincinnati Reds in 1933 (his last season).

OK, I guess there aren't too many here that get excited doing the "Quad Squad". Then, why not try a bigger challenge....the entire back run of your favorite T205 guy.
Figuring out the back runs of certain T205's can be a tricky thing. However, the front/back combinations of this group of T205 subjects is well defined. The 12 different
backs associated with this group of 32 subjects are listed in Post #1 in this thread.
I get a kick out of doing these runs. Continuing from the prior post here, here is my Quinn back run. I still need 4 more backs to complete it. Two of which (DRUM and
PIEDMONT #42) are extremely difficult to find. Stay tuned, the run of a favorite T205 of mine is 75 % complete, and it includes a really nice looking PIEDMONT #42.

OK, I've said enough.
Hey guys, it's your turn to show-n-tell us of your T205's. There are not too many threads on Net54 regarding T205 cards, so looking forward to your responses.
