Just sent an email using the "contact us". Not sure if the file attach works but if it does, I guess you can only attach one file per email. Also after the email is sent and you get redirected, graphics don't load properly. I'm using Internet Explorer.

Ronnie - Thanks for the scans and for catching that glitch. It was an error with our email software that I have corrected. You can now upload four images per email and the redirect takes you back to the sites Home page.

Tim and Jim (et al.),

Great site! Thanks for all of the hard work that went into providing such a valuable resource for the T206 collector. I know I will go to it a lot!

Hopefully the scans of my Billy Sullivan SC 150 Fac. 25 that I sent from the "Contact Us" page made it to you so that the appropriate checklist can be updated.

Tom - Thank you for the confirmation. The scan was received and the checklist has been updated.

Impressive work and effort! Thank you for sharing this authoritative information with the hobby!

Hi Tim and company- want to say this is a beautiful site, and congratulations to all the hard work that went into it. And thank you for including the article Judd Hamlin and I wrote way back in 1995. In those days we knew woefully little about the set. Today, the amount of additional information available is staggering; things collectors know casually were not imagined by us in those pre-internet days. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to add something to your site down the road.

Regards,
Barry

No ebay rover links?
No t206 displays for sale?
No banners for a network of junk "livetocollect" websites?

I'm in!!

Hi Guys,

Please take your time and read through the site, as I think Jim and Tim have done an incredible job of explaining how the “T206 set” was printed and distributed. They discovered an easy way of explaining the set in the actual “print groups” which no one thought of before…. While many of us have tracked cards for decades, and identified several patterns and even specific subsets, no one has put the entire set together like Tim and Jim. I won’t go into all of the reasons to create the site, but I will say, that we all felt that the T206 Museum should not be the “go to site” for the T206 set….

Be well Brian

Hi Tim,

I very much like the breakout checklists by back--that was much needed.

I noticed that you have described the blank back as "not distributed" but have made no similar notation regarding Brown Old Mill Southern. Have you confirmed a factory cut Brown OMS?

Hi Scot,

Thanks for your question. I know we make mention of the brown Old Mills only being hand cut several places on the site, but let me know if there is somewhere we aren't clear. And to answer your question, no we have never seen a factory cut brown Old Mill.

The following are a couple of excerpts from the site:

Back Scarcity Page
^Old Mill (SL) – Brown & Blank Back
These two backs were not inserted into packs, and both are essentially printers scrap. Some might not consider these necessary for a complete back run, but because of their scarcity and ties to the set, they will remain highly prized by many collectors.

Back Advertisements Page
These cards are printers scrap, were not issued in packs and are all hand-cut.

Print Group 6 Page
These cards essentially were printers scrap and never factory cut or distributed in packages.

Again, please let me know if there is somewhere we weren't clear regarding the brown Old Mills and we'll add the necessary text.

Scot - I think I figured out the place on the site in question. On the "Backs" page all of the cards printed factory numbers, including the brown Old Mill, are referenced with the exception of the blank back which said "Not Distributed." I changed the blank back description to say "No Factory" so there isn't a conflict.

Let me know if this was it. Thanks for pointing it out.
