The T206 QUINTUPLICATE challenge....try doing this run....if you dare !

[Casey2296]

Beautiful back run Ted, what would you guess the buy-in on that run is today?

A - B - C - C - D connection (QUINTUPLICATE)





Displayed here is the closest I have come to completing a QUINTUPLICATE run. Since 1981 (when I started my blue Chase run),
I have never seen this Chase with a DRUM back.
What is the probability that at least one blue Chase DRUM exists ?


Note....the A - B - C - D connection of the 350-only Series was printed on 190 subjects.

Has a Wilson with a Drum ever been confirmed?

[tedzan]

Hi Mark

Owen Wilson with a DRUM back does not appear on the PSA, nor SGC Pop Reports.

Thanks Phil for the compliment.

My guess depends on the T206 subject on the front of those 5 cards. The best I can
say is that in today's market, the cost approaches some "big-bucks".

In 2008 when I first thought of this special run the cost for such a Quintuplicate run
of a given non-star subject was approx. 2K (or less).

Great thread Ted!

I have the same as you on the Chase blue port, missing the elusive Drum.

VCP does not list any sales of the Drum for the Chase Blue. Have you guys ever seen one come to auction?

Hi James

I noted in an earlier post here that I have never seen a DRUM back on this T206 Chase portrait. I have been searching for one since 1981.

I appreciate the compliment....Chris.

What "bugs" me about this situation is......
Chase appears to be American Litho's favorite guy (five T206 images of Chase, and at least 30 front/back versions of white-bordered T-cards of him).

And yet, no DRUM card of him. Very, very strange !

My favorite T206 fielding pose, Mickey Doolan, is a real challenge. Only two (perhaps 3) of his BROAD LEAF 350 cards are known.
And, as far as I know, no DRUM has been discovered.
Nevertheless, I will continue the search.

I am keeping this thread active, by continuing with this Mickey Doolan run. This T206 Doolan is part of an interesting group of 36 subjects
in the 350-only Series which were not printed with these popular T206 backs....CAROLINA BRIGHTS, EPDG, OLD MILL, POLAR BEAR.

Anyways, this run of mine will be complete when I get his BROAD LEAF 350 and DRUM cards. No DRUM has yet been confirmed, though.
