It has long gone into some black hole when I closed down Full Count in 2003 and auctioned off the inventory through Mastro. Any T206 Drum stories?

At the Willow Grove (PA) Show in 1985, a dealer had 4 nice looking T206 DRUM cards for sale. He was selling them for $100 apiece. I offered him $350 for all four.

He declined my offer. I thought about it, and returned to his table a few hours later......the DRUM's were already sold.

What a missed opportunity ! ! ! !

Picked up these two recently, not new discoveries, but still Drum backs and more affordable than T206...

Thanks for posting your DRUM's.

And, you are certainly correct....T205 DRUM's are certainly more reasonably priced than T206 DRUM's.

here is a recent pick up.

Thanks lentel for posting your Patrick Moran / DRUM card.

American Lithographic printed exactly 32 - T205 subjects with DRUM backs. We know this based on a T-brand pattern presented a year ago on this forum.

A - B - C - D connection

The key factor in this A = B = C = D equation is the Black American Beauty back. Note that a T205 subject with a Green American Beauty back will NOT
be found with a DRUM back.

T205 DRUM 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 following 5 guys have yet to be confirmed with a DRUM back. But, they already have been confirmed with the A - B - C pattern.
Therefore, I expect these 5 subjects will eventually be discovered with the DRUM back.

1......Becker
2......Herzog
3......Huggins
4......Lobert
5......Wheat

Hey guys......let's see some more T205 DRUM cards. Perhaps we can confirm these remaining 5 guys with DRUM backs.

Thanks.
