Hindu T206 Ed Reulbach (On Factory Ledger Page)

Interesting either way.

If it's not real that's a lot of risk- two really nice Hindu backs being glued to anything. They missed a bit in the description, the writing on the back would go with other cards glued to the opposite side on the back of the page. The shipping info for the hindus would have been to the right of the cards.

And whoever tore up the ledger totally missed the boat. What would the complete packing instructions ledger from factory 649 go for?


Anyone else notice the potential Plank info?
That bit of information complicates T206 just a bit more.

I really wish I had the money to take a shot at this, but it's way way out of my league.

100% real. From what I recall, these first surfaced in the mid-90's. Terry Knouse (of Tik & Tik) had them. I have scans of a few different ones around somewhere.

Thanks, Jon. Now easy to read. Looks like 2 cards in a pack of 10 cigarettes in the Philadelphia territory but only 1 card in a pack of 10 outside of the Philadelphia territory. Is that right? Was that typical of T206 distribution?

Completely real...Terry did indeed own these at one time. I held the complete ledger at one point. Many different cards and backs with notes about distribution, factory, and shipping. Also included in that ledger were a few cards that were never released/produced incl. a Collins that was beautiful. It was a wonderful piece and I am saddened that it was cut up and split apart.

That's a shame it was complete, and then ripped apart. It would have been so great if someone had, at least, photographed all the pages first!

Many decades ago a friend of mine charley conlon from ann arbor mich had a bunch of them...also other papers that looked more like accountant books or money ledgers or reciepts. Unfortunately they didn't mean much to me (mid 1970's).I Lost track of my buddy years ago but would see him around all the major shows, (and small shows). He and I drove down to Toledo on his whim to buy cases of 1975 minis and regulars. Chuck are u out there? Shed some light on these for us. dave.
