Greminger is high on my list of favorite T213-1's. It was one of the final four on my wantlist.

Rob Greminger is also one of my favorites. But, I haven't had any luck getting his 1910 COUPON card. PSA pop report lists only 1. How many Greminger cards are listed in the SGC pop report data ? --------https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...duRedSun25.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...uRedSun25b.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...remingerOM.jpghttps://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...LDMILLx25b.jpg TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |

It looks like the SGC pop report only shows one graded Greminger, an SGC 30. The one I have is raw, from a board member who was working on the SL'er subset. At least a couple of collectors are trying to complete, or have completed the SL subset, which makes it even tougher to find cards like Greminger. From an old scan, here is the Breitenstein I have, along with a few others. I need to scan all of my T213's and post them to my flickr page.

Rob Thanks for the SGC info regarding Breitenstein. I have another question for you.....how many of your 1910 COUPON cards have the typical paper loss seen on the upper part of their backs (as my Breitenstein does) ? TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |

Ted, here's an old picture of the backs from 5 or 6 years ago. I have been able to upgrade many of the cards with back damage. For the ones I have, there are all types of back damage, usually dime size in the middle from album removal. Most of the ones I have are clean backs.

Rob Thanks for displaying all the cards in your set. It looks like you have only about couple of cards with what I refer to as the "typical paper loss" like my 4 cards shown here. Here's my theory on why these T213 cards have this type of paper loss. The American Tobacco Co. (ATC) introduced the "COUPON" brand circa 1909-1910. ATC packaged these cigarettes in Cartons (11" x 3" x 2") containing approx. 200 cigarettes. American Litho issued these 1910 COUPON cards in the Spring/Summer of 1910. Some cards were inserted inside the cartons, and others were pasted on the outside of the cartons. Here are 4 of my 1910 COUPON cards that exhibit this paper loss. My "show-piece" is the Doolan card, as it exposes cardboard residue from the Cigarette carton which it was glued on. The back of this Doolan card appears to confirm my above stated theory. http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...poncobb50x.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...edCobb75xb.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...sedkcap38x.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...apChase50b.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...eitenstein.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...itensteinB.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...PONDoolanX.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Doolan19xB.jpg TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |

So, I will switch to my unique CARS. In post #1087 is my "rare bird", a 1957 T-Bird, which I have enjoyed driving since 1972 when I acquired it from a car mechanic in Breton Woods, NJ. I refer to it as "rare" because I have seen only one other one with Willow Green paint. In 1957, Ford produced approx. 21,000 T-Birds....approx. 200 were Willow Green. My 1960 T-Bird is also Willow Green (just a coincidence). There are many Antique Car Shows here in Pennsylvania and I have attended many of them through out the years yet I have never seen another 1960 Willow Green T-Bird. Perhaps, mine is "unique" here on the East coast. If I were on the West coast, all bets are off :) https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...RDwoodshed.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...mbattennis.jpg Hey guys.....I have some interesting experiences with these two "American Heavy Metal" machines. If you are interested, I will post one or two of them :) TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |

Whoa !
One more to go....this "gem" was my first T206 DRUM (acquired in 1985). For many years it was a unique T206. In recent years, I sold this Moeller card to a good friend on Net54, which completed his T206 Tobacco backs run. Now in the PSA pop report there is one graded A. And in the SGC pop report there is one graded A. These 2 may be the same one, appearing twice because it was crossed-over. Or, there may be two different ones known now. https://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...oellerdrum.jpghttps://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan...oellerdrum.jpg TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |

A Net54 reader emailed me, requesting a story regarding my T-Bird(s).
So, here is an experience that I have never forgotten. I'm driving to work in the 1957 Thunderbird on the Garden State Parkway (circa 1977). I had the stick-shift in Overdrive, and before I realize it, I'm cruising at 75 mph. Suddenly, I see flashing lights in my side-view mirror. It's a NJ State Trooper. As I head for the shoulder, he turns off his lights as he pulls along side me, and from his Loud Speaker I hear.... "Do you want to sell your T-Bird ?" I shake my head indicating.... "No". Then he says.... "I'll pay you, whatever you want for it." I nod again a.... "No". Then he says.... "I don't blame you". And, waves to me and takes off. Well guys, that was a scary experience, since NJ in 1975 had lowered the Speed Limit to 55 mph. TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |
