One T206, Two Names

Bobby, how do you do such a search on the VCP site? I keep coming up with "no results"

But if

(A) Most top-bottom miscuts show the same name

and

(B) Most left-right miscuts show the same player

then

(C) Wouldn't most sheets be of just one player?

I don't believe (B) to be true... my recollection is that ALL of the left-rights that I've seen have been of different players.

All of the side to side miscuts that I have seen show a different player...


Be well Brian

You need to do an ACC search for T206 and will list all the different sets we cover with backs. The GMO is for ghost, miscuts and oddities containing also blank backs and proofs, etc..

It would be interesting to see how many of the front/back combinations for these "linked" cards sync up and how many do not.

Take, for example, a back that we're pretty confident we have a complete and accurate listing of all possible examples...Sweet Caporal 150 overprint. Taking a quick look at my index (which I think is right, but please correct me if not), I note the following out-of-sync examples from Jantz's listing below:

Delahanty (SC 150 OP confirmed) / Waddell (not)
Delahanty (SC 150 OP confirmed) / Bender (not)
Killian (SC 150 OP confirmed) / Chance (not)

So these cards must have been printed adjacent to one another on one sheet, but not both included (adjacent or otherwise) on another sheet. Along with the how many rows and columns and how were the subjects arranged questions, we also have to ask the how many different sheets/arrangements were used during production question. It's that latter mystery, I suspect, that's the most difficult to solve of all -- and the one that keeps us from getting our arms around so many elements of the T206 set.

cool card Brian! is that Wilbur Goode's arm?

we need to catch up, been too long...hope you're well.

Bowerman/Chance & Pickering/Myers are unknown pose/colour. Walsh top player appears to be from Brooklyn. Interesting discovery is Bresnahan & Bender are top & bottom cards.

Thank you to those who have shared their cards/scans, worked on the lists, and especially the folks who contribute/run t206resource.com for their print group/checklist data.

Great job. These are amazing finds. I love seeing these sheets being re-created.. thanks

T206Collector - I couldn't agree more. So many members have been so helpful in building this list.

Lee - I think there is a strong possibility that we will see a two different name T206 with different backs. I say this because I have already seen T206s of the same player with different backs, yet both backs have crop lines on them. Not long ago a member posted a Arndt Piedmont 350 with a crop line & I own an Arndt Sovereign 350 that also has a crop line. The same can be said for sheet numbers too. Its possible to see a T206 with a sheet number & then see an example of the same T206, yet the back has a crop line on it.

Iggy - Nice card!

MVSNYC - Yes that is Wilbur Goode's arm.

Chris - Thank you for the grouping photo. Its nice to see the cards in that form of layout. I will be sending you a PM shortly. I need info on the Walsh.
