If you are going to have just one you couldn't ask for much better.

Only 4, but a decent mix.

Noticeably thinner than all my other T205s.

great thread.
i'm hoping that the 2 large trees are off your buildings by now and things are
back to normal a bit.

one of my favorite cards is the chase holding trophy ab 460 which you
held for awhile yourself!

all the best, ole friend

PSA has only two AB 350 cards graded (and I am assuming that one of them is yours). SGC has not graded any AB 350 cards
of Eddie Collins.

I have the 3rd one with an AB 350 back, it is barely Vg (not graded). I have looked for some time to upgrade this Collins card.
It is indeed another example of one of the tougher ones with the AB 350 back. Let's see if anyone else here has this Collins ?

Hi Ted,
Be careful using "Pop Reports"... I have over 100 AB's graded by PSA but none have the back listed.... I also have quite a few Raw cards...

Here are a few:





Be well Brian

Brian, that Duffy is one of the nicest AB I've ever seen. Great card.

[deadballfreaK]

Green is my favorite color. Maybe that's why AB has always been my favorite back. TOUGH, but not impossible like Uzit or Drum.

I know what you mean......I have some cards graded by SGC in their early start-up days that don't appear on their current POP report data.


Speaking about SGC grading, maybe you can figure this out (because I cannot). I think my Matty should warrant a "60" and my Gandil a "40" (or "50").....instead of a "60".
Both are equally off-center; and, backs are clean on both of these cards.

What's your opinion on this ?






Thanks for your consideration,

Hi Ted,
I can't answer your questions.... But, I can tell you that PSA has been very tough on AB's for quite sometime... SGC used to be more lenient on centering, but may have changed recently.... I haven't had anything graded in quite sometime.... Be well Brian



Thanks Mike.... I bought it raw several years ago.... It's one of my favorites.

It is evident that these 12 subjects from the 460-only series are considerably more available than most T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY cards. My theory is that these 12 subjects were
Triple-Printed on a sheet of their own. Such as this simulated 36-card sheet shown here.

This printing pattern is replicated for the SOVEREIGN 460 and Red HINDU cards of these 12 guys. Furthermore, these 12 subjects differ from their "cousins" in the 460-only series
with respect to other tobacco advertising backs. Therefore, I refer to them as the "Exclusive 12". For more info regarding these 12, check-out this thread............

Recently acquired a few more cards for my AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 run. I am 8 cards away from completing this 74-card T206 subset
The two Seymour cards are the result of winning both simultaneously in two different auctions. I didn't want to risk loosing Seymour,
so I bid on this card in both auctions that night....figuring on getting one of them....but, to my surprise, I won both.









This Frank Smith (Chicago and Boston) is one of the tougher AB 460 cards to find. I purchased this one for 2 reasons, it is an upgrade
in my set.....and, I could not pass it up since it is a double (same) name card.





Hey guys....let's see some more of your AMERICAN BEAUTY's....T205 or T206.
