And to answer Scott's question above- I just recently acquired the Elberfield and once you said something I looked closer. I compared it to several other T205s I have and it is shorter than all of them. The seller had automatic refunds for 14 days so I am reluctantly (as I don't like to do that) returning it to the seller. I don't really want to knowingly buy a card with sharp corners that is a fair amount smaller than all (that I checked) the others I have. Better safe than sorry. Thanks again!!
ps...I think the description, when I went back and read it, said some of these cards were in GAI holders before

Thanks, Leon.

Also, as Scott mentioned, the Elberfeld is trimmed unfortunately. The gold probably does not "roll" over the edges when you look at it under a loupe.

Finally picked up a Speaker not too long ago. Waited well over a year for the right example to surface.

+1. That card is so, so difficult in that shape. That reminds me, I need to poop or get off the pot with my fledgling try at a set.

Two Speakers are better than one!

I completed a 209-card (includes Hoblitzell No-Stats) T205 set in the 1990's....it was quite inexpensive back then. Then I sold this set to a Net54 member.

Now, I dabble with certain T205 patterns that interest me. Such as completing an A - B - C - D Quadruplicate run. Here are some examples of such...�..

Still looking for the DRUM cards of Huggins and Lobert. Any help finding them is greatly appreciated.

And, then there is those neat looking Minor Leaguers. I refer to them as the T205 "Exclusive 12".

This mis-cut gem tells us this Eddie Collins card was Double-Printed horizontally.

.

This mis-print indicates that John Titus and Tony Smith were adjacent cards on this printed sheet.

And, last but not least......

Here are the 3 majors I bought this year. I have 15 other
commons graded from 2 to 5. Centering and no major creases
are my only wants. Chips and corner wear doesn’t bother
me. Don’t want high grades because of price and possible
trimming. Gonna take me years. I’m ready

* Yeah crappy pics. The Joss and Cobb are 3’s
