Collecting Around The Fringes: T206

[T206Collector]

Howe McCormick... Where are you?

Anybody else collect unusual stamps on the backs of T206 cards?

I don't have anything in the same league as what's been shown, but just wanted to say that you all have some awesome cards !!! Love the missing ink cards- those are great !!!

Best I have are a few ink transfers (wet sheet transfers) and some ink shifts- but IMO not in the same league as these. Love those tough back runs too, and who wouldn't love signed T206's ?!? Amazing stuff you guys.......thanks for showing these cards.

Sincerely, Clayton

Paul, i love this thread!!!

In my opinion it is in the same league and would love to see them. I really like the yellow/brown scrap, signed cards, wet transfers and any others that are shared. I could look at this stuff all day. It is cool to see what each member has to add. Nothing too small or too large

thanks to all for sharing

Thanks Jim-

I'm pretty sure you've seen these before. I'll use my old digital camera photo's on a few, they show it better. The Chase is an odd transfer- I know EPDG was printed 1909-1911,,1911 being Sov.460...so not sure if this was from ALC or just had an EPDG card on top of this at some point with a level of moisture? Some time down the road I plan on trying to do an experiment with two raw T206's and moisture over time to see if this would really happen.

The Blackburne's kinda weak, just a slight color shift. The Hannifan, don't know if this bled through or is a transfer.

Got this one from Tony A. (thanks again Tony!!)-it has a very strong Tolstoi transfer...

Like wise I was giving the eyeball to that Meyers! We need to link our computers so it's like a bad iPhone that way we can see where everyone is. LOL

Great cards.

Cheers,

Hi there,

I collect T206s with any period back stamp on them. In particular I am always on the lookout for the purple number back stamps like the one you see in my avatar. I don't come across them very often, but thanks to several fellow collectors on the board I have been able to add some to my collection.

Ted Z added the Hindu backed example a while back and I am very thankful for that one.

I am also working on a project documenting as many different back stamps as I can. If you click the link in my signature you can see the project. I haven't updated it in some time but I do have a lot of images that I have to load to the site. It's finding the time to do it that is the problem.

Most of the purple number stamped cards are mine, but not all of them.

I hope you enjoy and maybe some of you can help me with the project sometime.

Best,

AndyH

Heck, I'll even take them if they're signed by their widows...

I had a team set of T206 Highlanders that I tried to get as many different backs as possible. None of these cards are still mine except one. This is one collection I wish I would have not sold.

Just got them today. Originally from the Jeff Morey collection. Jane Mathewson and Blanche McGraw. Morey recalled seeing them sitting with Mrs. Gehrig at the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown during the Hall of Fame weekend. Cool stuff....

beautiful team set there, thanks for sharing.

cfc1909 -- similar to the reactions of others, my jaw hit the floor when I saw your collection of UZITs. unbelievable. similarly with the other rare backs in your later posts. kudos.

thanks to all for sharing these collections of T206s oddities and passions. I'm still more in realm of collecting "regular" T206s, but you've given me new thoughts...

Hi Jaybird,

Thanks for the image. I have one image of another of these stamps and this one makes two now. I always like getting multiple examples of the same stamp.

Here is the one I have already.

Thanks,
