Thanks Ted

Ted, is the OM Brown Mullaney that weird Cy Young multi-strike card that belonged to Leon and now to Jaime? Or has another Mullaney showed up?

The only brown OLD MILL Mullaney that I know of is that multi-strike card which you are referring to.

Pictured here are the 6 toughest backs that were printed on the Exclusive 12 cards



Certainly, one way of continuing the T206 "hunt" is by upgrading your cards (sets). Especially the tougher T206 backs, because you can usually sell off (or trade)
the replaced card pretty quickly.

Very recently, I upgraded two red HINDU cards in my Exclusive 12 sub-set (McGraw and Hummel). And, my original McGraw & Hummel cards sold very quickly.

Well, I guess "upgrading T206's" isn't too exciting a subject :)

Anyhow, here's one for you.…. try finding the red Cobb with a SOVEREIGN 460 back. Anyone on this forum who collects SOVEREIGN T206's will tell
you that this card is extremely difficult to find.

I completed my all - SOVEREIGN set in 2007 when I finally added Sov 460 Cobb to my set. Then it took me 8 years to upgrade my first Cobb (460).
And, although the new card is graded an "A", I am very pleased with it.

I'm sure some of you have similar stories, how's about sharing them with us.

Ted,

This is my favorite thread on Net54. I have learned so much reading this thread.

Part of the allure of this set is the theories and "best guesses" as to why and how these cards were made. What cards came with what backs. What has been confirmed and what hasn't. Nobody has the exact answer and maybe nobody will. All we can do is conduct our best deductive reasoning.

I started the set in 2013 and on Thursday when the next 5 cards arrive, my number will be 395. My plan was to finish the set in 10 years so I am doing pretty well. I thought I would stop when I finished the set but now thinking I may see how many different cards (front/back combos) I can get. This set definitely has a very deep rabbit hole. LOL.

I actually haven't intentionally upgraded any of my T206's yet. I still have about 3500 more to go anyways. The very few I have upgraded was just from buying a card lot for one or two cards and then deciding if the others in that lot graded higher than my currently owned ones. Doesn't happen often. I'm 5 Polar Bears away from finishing that subset. Once I do that, there are a handful of Polar Bears I'll like to upgrade to a PSA 4 / SGC 50 type of grade.

As far as a Sovereign 460 Red Ty Cobb? lol, yea, maybe one day. I've been stuck at 50 out of 52 for at least 5 years now.

Hey Mark

Your set is 77 % complete....I would be willing to bet you'll have a 520-card set by the end of this year.

And then, as those haunting lyrics in the song Hotel California say.... "You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave".

The T206 MONSTER has you !

But, that is not a bad thing. I've been collecting T206's for 40 years now; and, I am still sane. At least my family will attest to that :)
