Show off your AMERICAN BEAUTY's....T205's and/or T206's
This thread is devoted to the mysterious AMERICAN BEAUTY T206 cards or the very elusive T205 AMERICAN BEAUTY cards.
It is interesting, that the T206 AB cards were cut narrower; but, not the T205 AB cards. Anyone here want to venture a theory as to why T206 AB's were cut narrower ? And, it was not because the AB cigarette packs were thinner. They were the standard American Tobacco Co. 10-cigarette pack. ...... In 2007, I started running several T206 surveys of the AMERICAN BEAUTY 350 (frame), AMERICAN BEAUTY 350 (no frame), an AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 cards. In June 2010, I tabulated the data and posted this thread. I'm confident this is a complete listing of all the T206 cards with these AMERICAN BEAUTY backs. Link ...... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=124927&page=5 .. Wider than usual AB 350 (frame) of which 190 subjects have been confirmed ........ Typical AB 350 (no frame) card of which 37 subjects have been confirmed .. . ..................... AB 460 card of which 74 subjects have been confirmed .................... . Hey guys, I currently have 56 cards of the 74 in the AB 460 sub-set. Any help in finding the following 18 cards is greatly appreciated............ BESCHER..........................DOYLE (portrait)..................SEYMOUR (portrait) BRIDWELL........................JORDAN (bat)......................SMITH (Brooklyn) CAMNITZ..........................MARQUARD......... ...............TINKER (bat on) COBB (bat off)...................McGRAW (cap)....................TINKER (bat off) CONROY (bat)...................McQUILLAN (bat).................WAGNER (bat on right) CRAWFORD (bat)...............SCHLEI (portrait).................WILTSE (portrait) So let's see lots your T205 or T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY cards and tell us of some of your experiences in acquiring these elusive gems. Thanks to many Net54er's who participated in these AB surveys. And especially Barry Arnold, Bill Brown, Art Martineau, Scot Reader, Frank Wakefield, and Brian Weisner.
