OK.....I patiently gave this run "the old college try" and now this 109-card run is complete. Thanks goes to a Net54 "reader", who emailed me and we did a deal for his
T206 Bender.

American Litho printed PIEDMONT 350-460 Factory #25....SWEET CAPORAL 350-460 Factory #42 overprint....CYCLE 460 backs on the 350/460 and 460-only
Series subjects (109 cards).

Regarding the CYCLE 460 cards.....Lee Behrens' CYCLE 460 run is nearly complete with 100+ cards. This is a very difficult run to do.

The SWEET CAPORAL (109-card) run has been a long-term, low priority project for me of which I currently have 52 cards.

Continuing this thread with more T206 runs......

Claude Rossman is an interesting guy. His MLB career was a short one (5 years). And, doing a T206 run of his cards should be easy
since he was printed with only 6 backs. Not so, though, his 1910 COUPON and his TOLSTOI are very tough.
For example....I think there are only 2 known 1910 COUPON cards of him (mine and Rob Mck.)

I need only the TOLSTOI to complete this run. The scan of my Rossman from my SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set has disappeared.

I'm reprising Post # 1263 in this thread to display my complete 16-card set of T209-1 cards.....which finally includes Red Booles.

I thought I had him in my collection, but never found him. Dan McKee had picked up one for me. We made a deal for it at the Philly Show this weekend.










Hoffman is my favorite in this set.

Feel free to post your T209 cards and/or your stories regarding these very colorful Tobacco cards.

Returning to this thread's current title topic......

This PIEDMONT 350-460 Factory 25 run is not really a "biggy" in terms of difficulty; however, it can be referred to as a "quantity run", requiring 109 cards to complete it.

"High quality" runs typically comprise of 20 - 30 cards. And, these runs are found with T206 subjects in the 350/460 Series. Jamie's red Cobb run is a perfect example of
this type of run. In fact, I would consider his red Cobb run as being the "highest quality" run.

Furthermore, subjects in the 460-only Series can produce "high quality runs" which comprise of 13 cards. An excellent example of this type of run is found in Post #36 in
this thread....complete 13-card run of John McGraw (glove at hip).

I'll continue this show with another run of a 460-only subject: Germany Schaefer......

My first UZIT (acquired in Cooperstown in 1985)

Factory #42




Factory #30


* Note....I've never seen an EPDG back with Schaefer (Washington). Can any of you EPDG specialists account for this front/back combo ?


OK guys, I have switched our train back on the main rail-line running the "T206 runs". Show-n-Tell us more of your T206 "goodies".

It's Tuesday Nite TRIVIA time......


He had more than 100 victories (Starts + Saves), and was a really good-hitting Pitcher, and a pretty good Infielder.

So, who is this very versatile ballplayer in the T206 set ?
