T205 Question/Theory

[Runscott]

Andrew, I'm sorry to inform you that plans are already in place to put this information, as well as a lot of additional information that is quite secret at the moment, but will be earth-shattering to the hobby, on a new all-encompassing website called ....T205Resource.com

It will be impossible to acknowledge those who have contributed to the existing knowledge-base of T205 (other than our friends); however, we will be sure to put your name on a special credits page if you send any fresh information after our website is published.

Regarding acknowledgments, there will be a gold-level page, a silver-level page, and a tin-level page.

It will be completely free to the hobby, and non-profit (except for a few minor things)*

* - none of your business

If you don't create a rusted steel-level acknowledgement page, I'll never visit the site again.

I am still trying to wrap my head around some of the back combos on the T205's. Here is something that does not completely convince me that if a card has the P25,42, Cycle, AB that there is a Broadleaf.

Mathewson, as far as I know all of the backs mentioned have been found on the Matty, I have never seen a BL back for him. I would assume that with him being such a popular player that we would have seen one by now.

Both Andrews - you will find that there just isn't much shared information out there regarding T205s. T206 stuff is easy to find, especially now that we have T206RESOURCE.ORG. My comments above were tongue-in-cheek, but I do really feel that we could benefit from something similar (but less ambitious) for T205's.

I have already begun gathering data, which at some point I will run by the few T205 collectors who have admitted to being such, but I don't actually have any plans for a T205 website. If I knew more about these cards, I would be selling the 175+ that I have squirreled away due to ignorance.

For a few minutes there I uncrossed my fingers that just such back/combo info has going to be published.

It is one of my goals for 2012 to research tuff backed t205 much more. Im looking forward to hearing more your all of you. I if I can help in anyone search of backs to complete factory list, please contact me.

My focus has been on Piedmont 42s only because I think they are the most understood.

John, if it helps, I'm willing to share scans from my old collecting days - I collected regardless of backs. I haven't scanned the current stash, but certainly don't mind sharing those as well.

Andrew,this is about the time in a thread on T205's that someone will start to compare them to the T206's. I hope this doesn't happen again.

I have noticed that many of the BL backs seem to have a number of east coast players also. Do you agree or disagree with this?

Scott we should talk more about this. I have something's I would love to release to the hobby that may not be known about certain cards in the set. Some of which I have posted previously here on the board. Please pm me and I will get you my # if you would like to discuss some of these things. Who knows maybe after 5 yrs of focus collecting and talking with other hobby guys I might just not know anything now because you might have my info

Andrew to answer your question about Matty. Just because he is found on those doesn't mean anything just a possibility. Chances are drum and BL's will not have many of the cards we want. Reason is distribution. A lot of the drums are Midwest players or cards like Graham and shean which are abundant and I believe used as fillers for sheets. Drums like Hobby cin after, brown, phelps, stone, ect. Those are all mid US based teams. Seems the BLs do follow that pattern also with some exceptions. Still a lot of cards to gather and minds to pic for a set distribution and patterns for a confirmed list
