T206 Reference / Reflections.....Tuesday Nite Trivia

[tedzan]

This T206 trivia quiz, I think may be somewhat tougher than the previous ones on this thread. Unless one of you Net54 T206 geniuses are already aware of it.


There is one (and only one) T206 subject in the set that was not printed with a period after it's team letter Y in it's caption.

Can you identify this T206 subject (and it's pose) ?

First correct answer wins a T206 card.

Mr. Ted,

Great question--is it Wiltse (pitching)?

I looked through some cards and initially thought it was a trick question--Crandall (cap) has "New York" spelled out, but then I noticed that Devore, Ford, and McGraw (G@H) all have this.

Hooks Wiltse (Pitching)




Of course he was at the end of going through entire set .....

Post #1......Introduction....starting with Scot Reader's " Inside T206 " book, Inside T206
An excellent, very informative, and well written book that inspired many of us Net54ers to post our experiences and theory's regarding the complexities of the T206 series.

Plus, an early and very significant T206 thread was posted in June 2006 by Barry Arnold, titled T206 EPDG- - - how rare in your collection ?
Lots of brainstorming among Net54ers regarding T206's in this thread exploring various aspects of the T206 series (including surveys). Resulting in 363 meaningful posts.

In the Summer of 2006, Bill Brown posted his T206 Super-Set (excel) spreadsheet. Bill received 1000's of inputs from Net54ers for this spreadsheet. It was a great start
in the pursuit of what a T206 "master" set would be comprised of....T206 Super-Set

Sept 2007, I started a thread titled Joe Doyle NAT'L and it's 11 "cousins"....SURVEY to explore certain PIEDMONT 350 cards that I considered as rare as the Joe Doyle
"error" card. I eventually referred to these particular T206's as the Elite 11

In this thread, I've tried to present some very complex aspects of the Series structure of the T206 set in a style which is understandable to most of the T206 collectors.
However, if not clear, don't be shy about asking questions. Post your questions on this thread. Or, email me directly with your questions.... tedzan11@comcast.net
In either event, I will gladly do my best to provide you clear and meaningful answer(s).

It's interesting to look back on what our thinking was regarding the Wagner, Plank, Magie, and Joe Doyle Nat'L cards 12+ years ago.

Check-out this Net54 thread (Oct 8, 2005)...... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=78693

It is early Net54 threads (such as this one) that "sparked" our imagination and research which have resulted in developing a keen
understanding of the complexities of the T206 "Monster".

Any one here want to reminisce some more about this subject......feel free to chime in.

This quiz involves 2 ballplayers which were not featured in the T206 set.

Although, they should have been in this set.

Can you identify these 2 guys ? And, explain the strange situation why they were traded for each other ? ?

Bris Lord and Joe Jackson?

[nat]

Just looked up that deal. Who would have thought that Joe Jackson would be a player to be named later?

Bristol Lord traded (July 23, 1910) by the Cleveland Naps to the Philadelphia A's for a player to be named later. July 30, 1910, the Philadelphia A's
sent Shoeless Joe Jackson to the Cleveland Naps to complete the trade.


Connie Mack was a great Manager with a keen talent for recruiting some great ballplayers (especially from the College ranks) for 50 years.
However, Connie Mack certainly did not give Shoeless Joe a chance to show his extraordinary hitting ability with the A's.

Now wait a second, before we declare any winners . . . What about all of the players for Jersey City, Kansas City and Montgomery? Their team names end in Y. The team names on their cards are in all capital letters. There’s no period after the Y at the end of their team names. The question didn’t say the team had to be New York or be abbreviated. What do you say, Ted? Do I win? :-)
