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. ![]() ![]() TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists . |

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 . |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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.
