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

[Ronnie73]

The down grading thought has never crossed my mind. Now if I had some PSA 8's, 9's, or 10's, then I'd more than likely down grade them to 4's. Top pop is less important to me and getting other cards I need is more important.

Hi Ron

I learned this trick when I broke-up my 2nd T206 set (in order to assemble my all-PIEDMONT set). I had six T206 HOFers in that 2nd set that graded very high (7's and 8's).
By selling those gems, I was able to afford purchasing twenty HOFers and approx. 50 commons for my PIEDMONT set.
Like you, I'm a collector....not an "investor" in cardboard

As I have already said, if I am lucky enough to have a T206 which grades a 7, or 8, or 9, I don't hold onto it. Shucks, I cannot discern any difference between these cards, anyway.

My T206 collection ranges from Vg to Ex cards. And, I'm very happy with them. The greater majority of them are un-graded. Here are some examples of my highest graded T206's.

LENOX cigarettes were manufactured at Factory #30 in New York. The LENOX brand was mainly distributed in New York, New England, and New Jersey.
AMERICAN BEAUTY 460, LENOX, and UZIT cards were the last T206's printed by American Lithographic (circa January/February 1911).
The Exclusive 12 subjects in the 460-only series were NOT printed with LENOX backs.

My first LENOX card acquired in Cooperstown in 1991 for $15.

Ted, not to interrupt the great posts full of info but wanted to announce that yesterday, with the arrival of Bill Burns, Scoops Carey (Brown Hindu), and Jake Stahl (no glove showing, and from a transaction here on Net54), I have hit 520 and climbed Monster Mountain. Thank you so much for all of the wisdom passed down in this threat and others. What a thrill!

I've owned many Lenox's over the years...here's my current example.

Thought I posted this before, but don't seem to find it in the thread.
