Well, it has taken me 16 years to (almost) complete my AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 run. I need only one more card of the 74 cards which were printed with AB 460 backs.

This PIEDMONT 350-460 Factory #25 run of 109 subjects has taken me less than a year to acquire 102 cards. Listed here are the
7 cards which I need to complete this run. I would appreciate any help from you guys in getting these cards....Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!! Before I bought any T206's and was still in my learning stages of the set, I continued to revisit the idea of starting out with the Piedmont 350-460 Factory 25 subset. At the time, common PSA 4's were about $45. But the more I studied the set, the more I was turned off of that idea. Mainly because I could find the same common cards with other backs, like Polar Bear, Sovereign, and Old Mill for $50 to $60 in PSA 4 and American Beauty, EPDG, and Tolstoi for $30 to $45 in PSA 1 to PSA 3 grades. Plus, these other backs were more challenging but cost me basically the same amount of money at the time in 2010. Once realizing that, I started on my T206 collecting journey. If I was starting today, I would probably start with the Piedmont 350-460 Factory 25's because they are about the only things that are still in my purchasing price range.

I was reading the posts about the Wagners before I posted this. I saw it ending with the Heinie Wagner's as a joke but some really rare and difficult combo's were listed. I don't have a scan handy at the moment, but the Heinie Wagner - Bat on Right Shoulder with the Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory 30 with the missing scroll overprint ("No Print"), would be my addition to that post. In 1977 when Ted said a Honus Wagner would cost around $4000-$6000, I would have been able to own only one of them, if I was focused on the set at that time. Unfortunately, I was only 4 years old in 1977 and mainly focused on rare coins. My mom told me that I started at 3 years old and would have been sooner if she got past the fear of me trying to eat the coins. But I was born being obsessed with numbers & math, and noticed at a very early age that my pennies had different numbers on them. I learned how to search and trade up very quickly, and also sell. It was normal to go to shows with $1000 on me for possible purchases. A few years later, I added a few other topics to my collecting hobby, including baseball cards. The collecting bug has been in my blood since day one of my life. Nobody knows where it came from. I had no family or friends that collected anything, except for one of my grandfathers that I didn't see much. He collected antique steam engines. Sorry, kinda went off topic. Maybe it's because another year is almost behind us. Happy New Years Eve everyone!!

Happy New Year, Ron

Always great to hear from you. You make me smile. We've had some coincidences over our collecting years (e.g. Lundgren/EPDG, etc.)
And, here is another one we can add to the list.... " born being obsessed with numbers & math "....me too, guy.

Plus, our interest in putting together the PIEDMONT 350-460 Factory #25 subset. I thought I was the only "T206 nut" on this forum :)

Take care my friend,

Well, what a surprise......while sorting thru my extra T206's, I discovered that I already had a Willis (with bat) card with a PIEDMONT 350-460 Factory #25 back.
Therefore, only four more to complete this 350/460 Series run.

Last month at the Philly Show, I acquired the Willis (throwing) from our well-known friend from Indiana. William handed over to me a stack of T206's and believe
it or not, the top card in this stack was this Willis. He was very fair with the price for it (unlike the extravagant prices currently on ebay for this same card).

Thanks for the compliment, Chris.

I'm still searching for some T206 Boston (AL) guys for you. Having Wagner, you now only need 12 players.

since 350/460 is in the title now.

Has there ever been an explanation about what happened with Wiltse's uniform in his portrait?

https://d1w8cc2yygc27j.cloudfront.ne...2056244166.jpg

any guess as to what happened here?

Does look a bit odd but is based off of the original image used and some creative liberties to create his right side.
