Great cards everyone.
I Do have a question about the T205 AB's. I know they are either Black or Green back, but are they similar to the T206 Hindu Brown and Red? Whereas a card has either of the colors, but not both? Thanks, ChiSoxFan

Many years ago, a long-time hobby fixture in Ohio told me this. American Beauty white borders came in "8" count packets and American Beauty gold borders came in "10" count packs.
My old friend who educated me on much of these cards was a pleasant old timer named Al Clement. Al was a fixture alongside Geoff Sindelar in the early days of the outstanding Cleveland area/Strongsville Holiday Inn spring show that Fusco Auctions handles now. Well, he had the entire set minus Honus and was extremely knowledgable in those sets and their packs.

Show off your AMERICAN BEAUTY's....T205's and/or T206's
 Shown above is the standard (10-cigarette) pack, circa 1910. It's my understanding that the narrower (8-cigarette) American Beauty packs were introduced sometime in 1911. Hence, the Gold-Bordered cards (T205, T42, etc.) were more likely to be inserted in these packs; and, therefore cut thinner. Methinks American Litho started cutting the T206's thinner in anticipation of the narrower AB packs. I have 105 T206's with AB backs....22 - AB 350 frame.... 14 - AB 350 no frame....69 - AB 460. Their widths vary all over the place. This Davy Jones is the "fattest" of my AB cards (exactly the width of a normal T206 card). v.................... 1 7/16" .....................v   I don't claim to be an expert on cigarette packs, so any inputs regarding this topic are welcomed. TED Z __________________________________________________ _____________________________________ LOOKING for these 5 - T206 guys to complete my AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set (74 cards) CAMNITZ (hands over head)....DOYLE (portrait)....McGRAW (portrait-cap) McQUILLAN (bat)....TINKER (bat off shoulder) .

The significance of the T205 Black American Beauty back
Not many T205 black AMERICAN BEAUTY (AB) cards have been on display in this thread. However, many T205 Green AMERICAN BEAUTY cards have been posted.
T205 subjects with a black AB back are the link to "A-B-C-D" connection. A theory I posted several years ago. I have complete confidence in my A-B-C-D theory. Check it out.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...t=t205+A-B-C-D     American Lithographic printed exactly 32 - T205 subjects with this A = B = C = D connection. The key factor in this A = B = C = D equation is the Black AB back. Note that the T205 subjects with Green American Beauty backs will NOT be found with DRUM backs. T205 A-B-C-D checklist......32 subjects James Austin John Bates Beals Becker George Bell William Bergen Russell Blackburne Albert Bridwell Mordecai Brown Harold Chase (border on shirt) Frank Corridon Thomas Downey Louis Evans George Graham (blue signature) Buck Herzog Richard Hoblitzell Miller Huggins Jack Knight A. Latham Thomas Leach John Lobert Briscoe Lord Patrick Moran Frederick Olmstead George Paskert Fred Payne Edward Phelps John Quinn Lewis Richie David Shean George Stone Zach Wheat Harry Wolter The above 5 subjects in bold print have yet to be confirmed with a DRUM back. However, they already have been confirmed with the A - B - C backs. Therefore, I expect these 5 subjects will eventually be discovered with the DRUM back. Hey guys....let's see some more T205 black American Beauty cards. TED Z .

I was lucky enough to come across the following "marriage" of AB items at a local Flea Market a few years back. I realize that the tin is unrelated; but the "Flea Marketeer" spun such a wonderful tale of BS that I just had to buy...
...plus he was asking $32 for the pair...
