N162 backs

[tedzan]

A thread on this topic (posted Aug 2008) did a survey of TM vs No-TM. Refer to..... https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...highlight=n162

The results of this random survey indicates that the No-TM cards are considerably more available than the TM cards.



The Geo. S Harris Trademark is evident on 24 of the cards in my current 50-card set. Over the past 30+ years, I have had
enough N162 cards to complete 3 sets (and a near 4th). Of which, one included all 50 subjects with the Harris Trademark.

Ted,

That was a few years back. Thank you for that link. Your mind is sharp as a tack!

Going forward, IF I continue to pick up N162s, then I'll have a preference for the cards that have the printers line on it.

I don't think there's a premium on this because none of the item descriptions I've seen for N162s appears to indicate the presence of the third line.

Hey Fred,

Is the George S. Harris Trademark on your Dunlap "Detroit" card ?

Seriously speaking....There isn't any premium for the TM cards that I know of. However, 30 years ago when I was collecting N162 cards,
I put together a near complete set without the TM's.
I started a 2nd set of N162's with the TM's. After a year (or 2) I managed to find just 24 of them, and my patience faded out, so I never
completed it.
Perhaps, they should have a premium, because they are really tough to find.

I just checked the Dunlap Detroit card, it doesn't have the trademark. Darn, it was difficult enough to find the Detroit version, now I'll have to find one with a trademark

Just between the 19th century collectors, now we know something to look for in N162s. It just might become all the collecting rage to complete a trade marked N162 set.

Even the non-baseball N162s are getting a bit crazy in price. Throw it in a slab with a numeric grade and the thought of completing a set would require I start a new occupation, like robbing banks.
