$50 REWARD for finding any BROAD LEAF 460 "No-Print" cards

[JP]

Ted,

I understand that you know which 26 different BL460s exist, and which 8 are likely to exist, but do you have any population numbers (total graded and/or non-graded) on any of the known cards? For instance I've seen at least 3 different Addie Joss and Charlie O'leary BL460s each, but have yet to see most that are on the confirmed list. Are most of the known BL460s 1 of 1?

These last few years checking and rechecking the confirmed front back combos looks like it has really paid off. Your AB 460 collection is also key-it has outlined the BL460/red Hindu pairs and the AB460/Uzit pairs and to say with some certainty that there are no prints and exactly which cards.

This is huge for this set. This set is very hard to understand but this is definately making it easier. You being retired and able to spend countless hours figuring this out is priceless. I think I will let you hang out with me at the next Philly show...

All joking aside-thank you so much-you know this is my favorite set because of the backs and the Baltimore players in it-this is great stuff. I am still learning new things about this set every day.

I also want to thank a few collectors( you know who you are) that are very low key but do share their information with us that helps gather all this and make it possible.

Frank -thank you for your kind words.

Ted, truly great information. Insightful.

Can this similarity of printing be applied to earlier 350 press runs?

And Jim, you're right to thank those that forward information. As it trickles in the mozaic of the white border cards becomes more defined.

amazing scholarly work, Ted, that has illuminated the darkest reaches of the Monster.
i'm sure that you are now at the top of its 10 Most Wanted List!!!
and most of the rest of the list lives on this board!

best,

Well done Ted good read some good insight.

Not sure if anyone will be selling you BL460's for $10 bucks though..

Besides Jim offers $12.

I really appreciate all your complimentary words here. They have engendered a great feeling in me. Some folks try to dazzle
you with their PSA8 graded cards....I'd rather dazzle you with some high-level research into the mystery's of BB card issues.

I am upping the ante on this REWARD to $20 for CONFIRMED info on the 28 cards that I claim are BL 460 "NO-PRINTS". I am
quite confident that these 28 cards wont be found with BL 460 backs (simply because my research suggests that they were
never printed).

Hey guys, I may be proven wrong on this......and, I welcome that. However, I do not expect to go broke paying out Andrew
Jackson greenbacks.


Please note....I still think that there is a good probability that any (or all) of the following cards will eventually be found with
BL 460 backs....and, my offer stands to pay anyone $20 for the verification of any of these....."Elusive Eight".

Ames (hands over head)
Bender (no trees)
Chance (portrait-yellow)
Chase (portrait-blue)
Chase (dark cap)
Cobb (bat off shoulder)
Donlin (bat)
Doyle (bat)
Magee (bat)


Best regards to all of you,

Hello Ted,
Always enjoy reading your postings on the T206 back breakdowns.

I am confused by your BL460/Hindu red and AB460/Uzit patterns.

I show some cards in the 350/460 series that have been confirmed with multiples of these backs. For example:

Burch, fielding confirmed with BL460, Hindu Red, Lenox, Uzit.
Mullin, batting - my list shows I have seen this one with BL460, and have a Uzit.
Cobb, red - confirmed with BL460, Lenox, Uzit, and a PSA graded Hindu red.
Downey, batting - confirmed with BL460, Hindu Red, Lenox, Uzit.

Since we have no recorded front/back information until Bill Heitman began in 1980 we are still searching to confirm many of these possiblities. Every year we find some "new" combinations and add to these lists.
