Post your favorite T205

I always kind of liked the Ball pose.

[MVSNYC]

John- that's a creepy pose

I've always loved the Nat'l league cards, much more so than the Amer. league examples...

[ullmandds]

John...thats a pretty fancy stamp on the back...any significance?

[wonkaticket]

Pete, not that I'm aware of I haven't seen it before on other stamps on period cards. Perhaps someone here knows....

I should however make up a good story about the stamp maybe being connected to Wagner if I ever sell the card....we could let the market decide.

John, not sure if you are aware or not but that fancy little back stamp is actually VERY significant. It was Jefferson Burdick's personal stamp and is found on many of the cards that were once part of his collection (likely these were then traded to hobby friends as they were not part of his Metropolitan Museum donation.) Here is a T28 Aeroplane Series that has his personal stamps on back that I own that has the same stamp you have along with his other "Jeff B" stamp (mine was picked up in a large fresh to the hobby T-collection a few years back from a former early hobbiest)...

Whoa. Very interesting, Rhett!

[h2oya311]

Very cool info on the back stamp...

Here's my favorite:

[Ladder7]

Collins is a classic.

Here's another interesting Eddie Collins.

The offset back tells us that another Eddie Collins was the adjacent card....therefore, this Collins was Double-Printed.

Ted, If there were more interested in it. Deciphering the T205 sheet layout first, may lead to great strides in figuring out the t206's

John, your collection gets a little more legendary every day. Very cool.

That stamp is also on the Jack Johnson below. Definitely Burdick.

[T206Collector]

My favorite T205, and a rare instance of a T205 image outclassing the T206 image of the same subject. (I even prefer this to my signed T206 Blackburne!)

[frankbmd]

higher grade cards of players named Frank (or FranX)

[wonkaticket]

Rhett very very cool! I didn't know that I have some other Burdick stamps on some non-sports cards but all are of the "Jeff B" type I always assumed that was his only stamp. Thanks so much for the insight cool stuff!

Cheers,

John

This one has always just seemed classic to me.

P.S. Love the Burdick stamps!

[GasHouseGang]

I agree. Your's looks nicer than mine.

[DeanH3]

Cy has always been a favorite of mine. However, after looking at all these beautiful T205s, I have concluded I like the National League design better than the American League design. Great cards everyone.
