T214 Victory & T215 Red Cross Tobacco Cards

[Sean]

I'm not an expert on this set, but the T214s were printed four years after t206s. I don't think they followed the T206 print groups.

I recall Tim making this point about the T213 and T215 sets, and I think it holds true for the T214s as well. Sorry, I can't find that thread.

how did we get from t214/215 to t213???

I'm not sure myself, but in my mind they're all in the Greater T206 neighborhood.

[ullmandds]

i tell ya...before long people are gonna start talkin t216 here too I suppose!!!

[Jobu]

Thanks Sean. I was aware of the 1915 date for T214 but I am not one who hesitates to fire away with the questions when something pops into my head! It makes perfect sense that there isn't a match and if there was one I suspect someone would have figured it out. To quote the bank robber from Dirty Harry "I gots to know."

Pete, I was wondering the same thing myself (though I love T213-1 so don't mind it too much).

Well, just to be safe and since this is my thread, I fully authorize everyone to hijack it with any T cards after T212 .

Neal Ball T215 ... in a mislabeled holder.

Nice cards Bruce, especially like the Red Cross Meyers. That's always been a favorite pose of mine. That was one of the few Meyers Portraits that eluded me.

Ted, great cards as well. My best to you and your family.

[tedzan]

Thanks for the kind words.

I hope to see you at the National next month.



And, here is my last remaining T215 card in my collection.

Rick and others,
Thanks for some information on these rarer t sets. It sounds as if Rick' s estimates fit in with others' thinking. Great to see so many awesome looking Victory backs!

Came across this awesome thread and thought I’d bump it- anyone got anything to add?

[Casey2296]

Beautiful cards. Only thing I can add is I'd love to add a Victory and a Red Cross to my collection, so if you're a seller, I'm a buyer.

[Rhotchkiss]

Hi Phil. I recently sold my extra t214 (a bender) and my extra t215 (Marquard throwing). Now all I have is one example of each. You know I like having an HOF example of most rare type cards…

Salt in the wound my friend...
But I take the Buddhist approach, my cards will come to me when they're ready. That and when my budget allows.

My T215-1 and T215-2 type cards:

Red Cross are my favorite, and I've shown these two before but not in this thread.

Unbelievable

[phlflyer1]

Here are my lone examples. Would love to trade my T214 for one of a Phillies or A's player if, by some miracle, there's one out there available for trade.

[edjs]

Funny, since my first comment on this thread, I’ve bought and sold a couple T214 and T215s. I still have these.

[t206kid]

Just one for me!

[Jobu]

One here as well.

[Rhotchkiss]

Steve, Ed, Jay, Bryan…. Hi! I hope all is well. GREAT cards guys, you too Scott.

[Blunder19]

[MuncieNolePAZ]

Fantastic cards everyone. I have looked at this thread a few times in the past but glad to see some new posts/cards in it. I dream of getting a WaJo of either back some day.
