Great site ! Thanks for all the hard work on this.

I have one question: If I'm at an estate sale and they would have an unopened cigarette pack, how would I know if any baseball cards could be it in ?

Is this information on the site ? Any markings etc I would need to look for.

Thanks

Thanks

We have not put any information regarding the packaging onto the site yet, but we will be in the near future.

The tax stamp on the pack will be the first thing you will look for. This information would tell you if the pack in question could include a baseball card. For more information on how to read the tax stamp Click Here

Once you understand how to date the pack you will know if it falls within the time frame that T206's were inserted into that brand.

Keep in mind that ATC inserted other non sport cards during the time period T206's were produced, like birds and fish, into the same brands as baseball cards.

There are several boards members that have a great deal of knowledge on this subject.

First off congratulations !! If the Ty Cobb back wasn't included in the back run I would've been very dissapointed but it was and is ! Will be an awesome work in progress that will never be complete, again congrats and thank you to all the people who worked and added contributions to this !!

A couple of comments......

(1)....Regarding your SOVEREIGN 350-Only checklist, you indicate that Bresnahan (batting) and Downey (fielding) as "confirmed".

Not so !

My research shows that these two subjects are SOVEREIGN 350 "No-Prints".


(2)....I'm quite skeptical of your claim that Crawford (throwing) "was not printed with a SOVEREIGN 150 back". My experience in
completing a SOVEREIGN 402-card set (and since, going for a Master set) indicates that 12 (perhaps more) SOVEREIGN 150/350
subjects were Short-Printed with respect to their SOVEREIGN 150 backs.

For example, the majority of the Wiltse (portrait, no cap) cards are found with the SOVEREIGN 350 back. The SOVEREIGN 150 card
of this subject is rare enough that the SGC pop reports indicate that NONE have been graded. It took me about 5 years to acquire
this one......





Furthermore, Brian Weisner has already identified a Crawford (throwing) with a SOVEREIGN 150 back in Bill Brown's super-set spreadsheet.

Check it out ?
