T206 Front/Back Question - Doc Adkins

[Pat R]

Adkins was printed with a Drum back (not my card) but is listed as a probable no print
with an EPDG back.

Patrick,

Thanks for the quick response, very helpful. Beautiful card, BTW.

Hi Dave,

When I last published (in 2009) many front/back combinations were still theoretically possible but unconfirmed. For a few years after, there was a serious effort to confirm them by Ted Z., T206 Resource and others.

Looks like I swung and missed on Adkins EPDG (most likely I got an erroneous report that Adkins EPDG was confirmed). Or perhaps I mistakenly applied the gray ("reported") shading to the Adkins EPDG block instead of the adjacent Adkins Drum block in the Inside T206 checklist.

Scot,

Thanks for chiming in. Everything makes sense now. I appreciate it!

Hi Dave

It was good to see you at the Philly Show this past weekend. It's been a while since I last seen you at this show.

Adkins is in the 350-only series, and most (if not all) T206's in this series that have American Beauty, Broadleaf, and Cycle backs will also have the Drum back.

And, Pat provided it.

I would be remiss if I didn't add that Dave Adkins, this player's grandson, is a member here. He only checks in somewhat infrequently. A nicer guy you couldn't meet.
