.        .... Sweet Caporal ...... Sovereign ......... Piedmont___The "House" that created these Tobacco cards___American Beauty ... COUPON ...…...... UZIT This thread will provide references to major contributions posted on Net54 these past 14 years that have formed a better understanding of "The Monster" [as Bill Heitman so aptly coined his T206 book (circa 1980)]. Let's start with the 2005-2006 publication of Scot Reader's Inside T206 An excellent, very informative, and well written book that inspired many of us Net54ers to post our experiences and theory's regarding the complexities of the T206 series. One of the early and very significant T206 threads was posted in June 2006 by Barry Arnold, titled T206 EPDG- - - how rare in your collection ? This thread sparked lots of brainstorming among Net54ers regarding T206's. It included surveys; and, various aspects of the T206 series were explored.....resulting in 363 meaningful posts. Furthermore, between many of us Net54ers, this thread was...."the beginning of a beautiful friendship" (to quote Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca). In the Summer of 2006, Bill Brown posted his T206 Super-Set (excel) spreadsheet. Bill received 1000's of inputs from Net54ers for this spreadsheet. It was a great start in the pursuit of what a T206 "master" set would be comprised of....T206 Super-Set Sept 2007, I started a thread titled Joe Doyle NAT'L and it's 11 "cousins"....SURVEY to explore certain PIEDMONT 350 cards that I considered as rare as the Joe Doyle "error" card. I eventually referred to these particular T206's as the Elite 11 Subsequent posts in this thread will expand on theory's regarding the structure of the T206 series and the front/back permutations that have resulted. A fair number of the theory's presented on Net54 (since 2006) have withstood the test of time. Providing accurate lists of which front/back combos were printed. And, which ones are No-Prints. So, stay tuned......many more T206 "oldies but goodies" References and Reflections will be posted here. And, feel free to contribute any meaningful T206 stories, or experiences collecting T206's that you have. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________________________________ INDEX Set your user settings to display 50 posts per Page.

I have a few more blue Wagner cards, but I cannot find them. Therefore, until I do, here are the
two Wagner's featured in the American Caramel set (E91) series C....which were issued in 1910. Show us your Wagner cards....T206 "orange" or "blue", or whatever Tobacco or Candy set they were printed in.   TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

Don't mind me, we just returned from a vacation in the town of Jim Thorpe in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. While we were up there, I checked-out what was happening on Net54 and I saw your post of your Pirate card on my cell phone. Looking at the small image on my phone, I mistook it for "Tinker". Either that or my mind reminded me of your great Tinker (bat off shoulder) run. Anyway, now that I am home, and looking at my Lap-Top screen, I clearly see that your Pirate card is Chance  I appreciate you correcting me.

      ...... Piedmont ...... Sweet Caporal ..... Polar Bear_____The "House" that created these Tobacco cards_____Sovereign ........... Hindu ........ American Beauty Following up from Post #1354 with American Caramel (E90-1) set....here are the two Wagner cards from my set. Aesthetically speaking (in my opinion), these two cards of Wagner are the all-time best images of him in any BB card issue. Especially, the throwing pose with the sunset in the distance. It is lithography at it's best.  . .   Although these images are also found on other E-card sets (and the T216 sets), I chose to display the E90-1 Wagner's, since their images are usually of a higher quality than on the other sets.

Hi Sonny Yes indeed, your blue Wagner is "pretty cool".....actually, it may be unique. Have you seen another PROOF card of this Wagner ? My favorite blue Wagner resides in my AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set, which has been a work in progress for approx. 16 years. I currently have 73 of the 74 subjects that were printed with the AB 460 back.  .  TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

Hey Ted ! I haven’t seen another Heinie Wagner proof, but you just never know what’s out there. I sure hope you can locate your last AB460...that would be an epic accomplishment. I’m working on a brown hindu subset, and I oftentimes wonder which one will be the last I need. The brown Hindus aren’t as tough as most of those AB460s though!!!

Hi Sonny Good luck collecting brown HINDU cards. It's anyone's guess as you approach completing this 136-card sub-set which T206 will be one of your last cards. Speaking about "last cards", I need Camnitz (hands over head) to complete my AB 460 sub-set. As far as I know, only one exists, and the guy who has it will not part with it. I can't say that I blame him. I became interested in the AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 cards when I broke up my 2nd T206 set (521-cards) in 2005. It started with this Zach Wheat card......  .  And, of course, my pride and joy in this sub-set is Mr. Cobb......  ------------------ TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

T206 REFERENCE...Interesting association of AB350 (no-frame) T206's and AB460 T206's
* * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Reflections, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * *
   Quote:
Speaking about AMERICAN BEAUTY cards, there is an interesting process of how American Lithographic (ALC) first printed the AB 350 (No FRAME) cards and later in the print runs the AB 460 cards. Circa Summer 1910, ALC printed 190 subjects with AB 350 backs with the stylized FRAME for their 350-only Series. Followed by 37 of these subjects printed with AB 350, but without the stylized FRAME. Circa Fall--Winter 1910, ALC extended 63 subjects from the 350-only Series into what we refer to as the 350/460 Series. Subsequently, ALC separated these 63 cards into two Groups. I refer to them as Group A (35 cards), and Group B (28 cards). Post #8 in this Thread amplifies on the Mutually-Exclusive cards in the 350/460 Series. Group A cards were printed circa late 1910. Group B cards were printed early 1911 (by Spring of 1911, ALC ended all the T206 production). Therefore, from the 37 - AB350 NO FRAME cards, 19 subjects from Group B (see checklist below) were printed with both the AB 350 and AB 460 backs. Furthermore, these 9 subjects from Group B were printed ONLY with AB 460 backs...... Berger Bradley with (bat) Cobb (bat off shoulder) Jennings (one hand) Lajoie (with bat) Leach (bending over) F. Smith (Chicago & Boston) Tinker (bat off shoulder) Doc White (pitching) Checklist......Group B (19 subjects) printed with both AB 350 (NO FRAME) and AB 460 Burch (fielding) Conroy (with bat) Crawford (with bat) Jennings (two hands) Jordan (batting) Lake (St Louis-no ball) Leifield (batting) Manning (pitching) McQuillan (with bat) Mullin (with bat) Overall (hand face level) Pelty (vertical) Pfeister (throwing) Steinfeldt (with bat) Wagner (bat on right shoulder) Wilhelm (with bat) Willetts Willis (with bat) Wiltse (pitching)  > > > > > >  Checklist of Group A subjects that were printed with AB 350 (NO FRAME), and were subsequently printed with BROAD LEAF 460 and Red HINDU will be next.
