Hi Kevin

I have 7 with a possible 8th (forgot to right down the factory # on my checklist) out of 276 total.

Wow...
Before Jim's post, most everyone was hovering around 1.5, 2, 2.5% (except Boca 7% and Eric 7/Cubs 25ish? = 28%).

Jim is at 33%....are you sure you're just counting factory 25's ?

edit to add: I just re-read Jim's post and see that 95% of his cards are SC................... back to the coffee pot! Carry on.
edit again:..... that's still 34% of all his SC's are factory 25's........... I would have expected more like 6% based on my own distribution list.

OK Kevin, since you insist


My T206 collection comprises of approximately 2000 cards. It breaks down as follows........

Cards
------
519 ............ all - PIEDMONT set (missing Wagner, Plank & Doyle error)

444 ............ all - SOVEREIGN complete set of 402 different subjects ( + 42 added cards towards a master set)

467 ............ all - SWEET CAP, Factory #30 set (missing Wagner & Plank) ..... SOLD

34 .............. SWEET CAP, Factory #649 (ovpt) complete sub-set

56 .............. AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set (56/75)

35 .............. T206 backs sub-set (35/39)
------
1555 = Total


Therefore, the remaining 445+ cards have been randomly acquired. In this lot of T206 cards, there are only three
SWEET CAP 150, Factory #25 cards, these are:

Chase (pink)
McIntyre (Brooklyn)
Schulte (front view)


Furthermore, my SWEET CAP 460, Factory #42 cards = 5

And, my SWEET CAP 460, Factory #42 (ovpt) cards = 12

Initially, I was surprised to some extent. However, after I considered this some more, I'm not that surprised. And, I say this because in the past couple of years
I have sold (or traded) 100's of my SWEET CAP cards; therefore, there may have been quite a few more SWEET CAP 150 Factory #25 cards in my inventory.

Anyhow, so far I think the responses to your thread here have revealed to us how tough the SWEET CAP 150 Factory #25 cards really are.

Furthermore, if I recall correctly the majority of the SWEET CAP 150 Wagner's and Plank's are from Factory #30 (NYC).....not, Factory #25 (Richmond, VA).

FWIW, 14/630

(and 38 SC 150 FAC 30 in the same group...)

[Vegas-guy]

Of my 35 I found:
1 SC 350-460 fact. 42 w/scroll OP but also still shows Fact. 30 as well "Red Murray Port."
1 SC 350-460 fact. 42 (no OP) "Chick Gandil"

[CMIZ5290]

I think there has been some great feedback on this....i have come to the conclusion that this back is not 31st out of 38 backs in scarcity as most lists have it, but much higher. I also stand corrected on my original post, I have 8 total counting factory 30 as well. Final count in my collection is only 3 that are factory 25's!

I don't have very many T206's but I do have 1 SC 150/25, a Cobb bat on SGC 5.5.

[CMIZ5290]

Dean- any interest in selling the cobb?

My SC 150/25 Chase isn't a grade 7 .....however, it's the nicest one of the 5 cards I have of him.

i agree, very sharp looking!

I have checked my 275+ T206 cards and I have 36 different Sweet Cap 150 series Factory 25 Virginia cards. I think that this is due to the fact I was able to buy about 220 of these from a lady whose uncle collected them and only smoked Sweet Caporal cigarettes. He kept them in an album and the fronts are beautiful. Also, I am trying to do a Sweet Cap set where possible my second time finishing the 520 cards. Of the 275 I may only have 10 that aren't Sweet Cap backs and thats why this number may be high.
