Gold Borders

[asoriano]

There hasn't been a good T205 thread in a while.

Please show any of those gold border beauties.

I'll start it off with these:







Bought this one from Ted Z. a few years ago:





Would love to see if anyone else has a yellow elephant compared to white:

Probably my nicest condition t205 (yes, all mine are raw!) and my favorite T205 front picture (Matty is a very very close second).

AB green, AB black, Pied 42, Cycle, BL green(graded), BL black

[jtschantz]

[jp1216]

I enjoy the different backs.

[dherm360]

my first and still probably my favorite

[Leon]

From day one in the vintage hobby until now I have always thought T205 as one of, if not the, very best looking sets.

[zljones]

Iv'e showed these before but I have to contribute to this thread

Nice cards everyone. I hope to add a nice T205 Matty someday. Here are a couple of mine.

[itjclarke]

Some Piedmont 42s, are these considered rare of just harder to come by? will they ever command a premium??
T205 Ty Cobb- N54.jpg
T205 Joe Tinker- bought N54.jpg
T205 Christy Mathewson- bought N54.jpg

Do we know how these were printed? Obviously a lot more went into them than the t206's, but I'm curious - were the sheets nothing but color images with yellow in-between, then gold flake printed in the yellow 'cracks' on a final pass?

Here is a page out of my large T205 "extras" album. Love the pink color on the Bates card.

...No one? (Scott hates quoting himself)

[marcdelpercio]

A few tough ones I've shown before and an unusual Mordecai Brown/David Shean miscut that I haven't.

Gee....no Minor Leaguer's on display, yet ?

Here are 6 of the 12 in this set. In my opinion, the design of the Minor Leaguer cards is aesthetically more appealing than that of the Major Leaguer's in the T205 set.












The T80 Military Series are awesome examples of American Lithographic's Gold-Bordered artwork similar in design to the T205 Minor Leaguer cards.

WOW!!! I see a Hoblitzell "no stats", then a Wilhelm "suffered". Then a Jimmy Collins autographed card. 3 cards that are in my dreams. Good Work.

I am not certain of the authenticity of this autograph on my Jimmy Collins card.
