Jeff, if you are looking for the brown Lenox, I am open to trading (although it’s Chicago and Boston)

And I sold my beater Uzit last year…..hahaha. Not sure why I thought I could do his backrun for Chi/Bos but I gave up on it pretty quick.

Beautiful card Ryan…..

I could say completing this Breitenstein run was an easy one with only four T206 cards. But, it was not.
His 1910 COUPON card was very tough to find.

Honestly, the Old Mill was much tougher than the Hindu. Purchased the Hindu from a Net54 member.
Also the first Piedmont 150 here (now in a PSA 5 holder) was the first T206 card I ever purchased way back in 1989.

Ted i have the breit bank back. Do you count that as a back for his backrun checklist?

Thanx

Another "running mate" of the Exclusive 12 group in the 460-only Series. The only three cards I need to complete this run are the EPDG, TOLSTOI, and UZIT backs.

I started a WaJo run a while ago, but it's slowed to barely a crawl. Jay's impressive run is very inspiring.

[EGreenwood]

My first T206 was an Oscar Stanage SC F30(?). My Dad got it for me when I was a kid. I have been working on a run and need Broadleaf and Tolstoi.

I was able to pick up a beat up Carolina Brights and Cycle. I figured the Tolstoi would be reasonable and the Broadleaf a dream (like the T205 Hindu).

I was wrong. I popped up on eBay for around $1,500. I may be at the end of the road for my Stanage runs.

My favorite T205 run is Miller Huggins. As a lifetime Yankees fan, I admire how he managed the most powerful team in Baseball. And, he was able to accomplish this
because he had a keen sense of recognizing talent. Most notably by persuading Col. Jacob Ruppert (Yankees owner) to acquire Babe Ruth from Boston in 1919. And,
"The rest is history."


This display begins with the very rare PIEDMONT Factory #42

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I think this run is near complete. I need a DRUM back for Huggins. And since he was printed with the brown AMERICAN BEAUTY back, I expect his DRUM card will appear.













Furthermore, besides the DRUM, I may also need a HASSAN Factory #649 to complete this run. I would
appreciate it....if anyone here has a Huggins with this back that I could purchase.

In his 2006 book titled "Inside T206", Scot Reader identifies the 6 guys displayed here as the "SUPER-PRINTS". Scot Reader's excellent research
revealed that these six subjects were printed in greater quantities (and with more Tobacco brands) than any other T206 subjects in this set.

These six T206's fascinate me, simply because American Lithographic (ALC) introduced a new Series in the T206 print runs....the 350/460 Series.
ALC originally printed these six subjects in an early 350-only Series print run. Subsequently, ALC selected these 6 subjects (perhaps due to popular
demand) to be printed with SOVEREIGN 460 backs. Then continued printing them during the 460 series print runs with a variety of 460-type backs.

What has always puzzled me is: Why two Chase poses ? They chose the popular Chance and Evers, so why not Tinker (instead of a 2nd Chase) ? ?
Perhaps, someone on this forum has a meaningful answer to that question.

Please note: that the SOVEREIGN 460 versions of these 6 subjects are very tough to find relative to the regular 46 subjects in the 460-only Series.

Shown here are the Six Super-Prints with their SOVEREIGN 350 backs and their SOVEREIGN 460 backs......

The Red Cobb with the SOVEREIGN 460 back is very, very tough to find.

Speaking about the Six Super Prints....one of the most challenging experiences for me doing T206 runs was acquiring these guys. However, the Cobb
in this case was not the toughest one....the Chance was the toughest one.


The Six Super Prints are seldom seen with the 1910 COUPON advertisement.

There is something about the Red-White-Blue colors of the Boston Buck Herzog that appeals to me. With these backs as a start (and SWEET CAP 460 Factory #30),
I'm about half of the way thru a complete run. Therefore, it's a go.

Regarding my T205 Harry Wolter run started in this thread (Post #70), here are the three remaining cards which complete this 11-card run.

There are times when the numerous Sports related stuff in my office have reached "a point of no return"

At least my uncut sheets of Sportscards are framed and are on display. These tiny pieces of cardboard (T's) are stacked in various locations.
Such as desk draws, plastic boxes, binders, etc., which I occasionally fail to remember.

I thought you sold your Herzog Uzit back to D. Hall....

Hi Chris

I did sell my Herzog/UZIT to David. I've sold many T206's to David when he was putting together his Master set.
David would visit me at the Nationals, and every time I would have a number of cards that he needed for his set.

But, I still have scans of this Herzog card. And, perhaps, someday I will recover it. I sort of regret parting with it.
But David has always been a good friend, and I was happy to help him achieve his goal.

Hey, it's possible that a 2nd UZIT of Herzog will be discovered....and be available.

Whatever....the 44 years that I've been in this hobby, I've sold certain cards, and subsequently re-acquired these
same cards years later. It's a great hobby....and the friends you make in the process is the "icing on the cake".


Circa 2010, old scans prior to my having SGC grade this Herzog card.

Great stuff, guys. Really appreciate seeing all these T206 runs. Let's continue this show-n-tell of our T206 and T205 back runs.

Here is my 92% complete Russ Ford back run from the Exclusive 12 group. Of course, I need the near impossible UZIT card to
complete this 13-card run. Ford has yet to be confirmed with the UZIT back. However, I expect it will eventually be discovered.

I would like to thank Luke Lyon, from whom I recently acquired the tough EPDG card of Ford.
