T206 REFERENCE.....Unique Antique CAR(ds).....Show us your "One of a Kind" T206(s)
* * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theories, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * *
.      I'm running out of "unique" CARDS to display. So, I will switch to my unique CARS. In post #1087 is my "rare bird", a 1957 T-Bird, which I have enjoyed driving since 1972 when I acquired it from a car mechanic in Breton Woods, NJ. I refer to it as "rare" because I have seen only one other one with Willow Green paint. In 1957, Ford produced approx. 21,000 T-Birds....approx. 200 were Willow Green. My 1960 T-Bird is also Willow Green (just a coincidence). There are many Antique Car Shows here in Pennsylvania and I have attended many of them through out the years yet I have never seen another 1960 Willow Green T-Bird. Perhaps, mine is "unique" here on the East coast. If I were on the West coast, all bets are off    Hey guys.....I have some interesting experiences with these two "American Heavy Metal" machines. If you are interested, I will post one or two of them TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . Last edited by tedzan; 12-24-2020 at 06:39 PM. Reason: Added information.

T206 REFERENCE.....Unique Antique CAR(ds).....Show us your "One of a Kind" T206(s)
Whoa !
One more to go....this "gem" was my first T206 DRUM (acquired in 1985). For many years it was a unique T206. In recent years, I sold this Moeller card to a good friend on Net54, which completed his T206 Tobacco backs run. Now in the PSA pop report there is one graded A. And in the SGC pop report there is one graded A. These 2 may be the same one, appearing twice because it was crossed-over. Or, there may be two different ones known now.

A Net54 reader emailed me, requesting a story regarding my T-Bird(s).
So, here is an experience that I have never forgotten. I'm driving to work in the 1957 Thunderbird on the Garden State Parkway (circa 1977). I had the stick-shift in Overdrive, and before I realize it, I'm cruising at 75 mph. Suddenly, I see flashing lights in my side-view mirror. It's a NJ State Trooper. As I head for the shoulder, he turns off his lights as he pulls along side me, and from his Loud Speaker I hear.... "Do you want to sell your T-Bird ?" I shake my head indicating.... "No". Then he says.... "I'll pay you, whatever you want for it." I nod again a.... "No". Then he says.... "I don't blame you". And, waves to me and takes off. Well guys, that was a scary experience, since NJ in 1975 had lowered the Speed Limit to 55 mph. TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

T206 REFERENCE.....ATC's "signature" white-border T-card..Post your favorite Red Cobb
* * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theories, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
   The American Tobacco Company's "signature" image in the white-border Tobacco card family is the Red Cobb. The American Lithographic Co. printed the Red Cobb with 29 different tobacco advertisements (T206, T213, T214 and TY COBB back). The only white-border Tobacco card sets that do not include the Red Cobb are the T215 RED CROSS set of 96 subjects **. And strangely enough, it's "cousin" set, the T215 "PIRATE" set of 96 cards (which does NOT include any Cobb cards in it). ** Note...... The Cobb (bat off shoulder) is included in the T215 RED CROSS set. Jamie's (Blunder19) tremendous Red Cobb run is complete with all 29 of these white-bordered cards, which were printed with the various Tobacco advertisements. Show us your favorite Red Cobb's. My favorite for several reasons is the elusive SOVEREIGN 460. This Red Cobb is a difficult front / back combination to find.   TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

Mine has a punch hole for easy key chain installation. According to the back, this practice was O.K. in its day.
