PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 find....Tinker (bat off shoulder) is for real

[atx840]

Its interesting that all were handcut, makes me think it could have been a scrapped sheet. Unfortunately not mine.

Is there an article on this find?

A week ago, I was contacted by a member of this forum who knew that I had been looking for this Tinker card for all these years.

He had acquired a T206 collection of PIEDMONT cards which included this card.

I leave it up to him, if he wants to chime in here and tell us his story.

And naturally some doucher trimmed the borders.

Great find Ted.

Are you going to the National? I'm actually going this year, for the first time.

[tedzan]

I plan to be in Chicago for the National. I set up with Mark Macrae. Our booth is not too far from the entrance.

I look forward to meeting you and talking BB cards.

It's always nice to talk with you Ted, and I have enjoyed seeing you set up in Ephrata the last few years.

I did pick up the Tinker plus 11 more P42 cards, they all were cut (trimmed) in a similar fashion. The only one that would grade numerically was a Leach that is in vg condition. It was just a lucky find.

Damn, Andrew, you always find the coolest stuff! Congrats!

You have a few T205s I would not mind in my collection

I enjoy setting up at the show in Ephrata (Lancaster County, PA). This show is reminiscent of the shows in the 1970's and 1980's.
A lot of serious collectors attend with wantlists to complete their sets. And, they love to spend hours talking BB cards.

You and I have made some nice T206 deals at this show.

Take care, my friend.
