Time for a show-n-tell UZIT fest, so if you have a UZIT....show it.

[tedzan]

My research indicates that only 74 subjects were printed with the UZIT back. This same research also revealed that the UZIT
back and AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back were printed on the same T206 subjects. I like to refer them as the "twins"
Furthermore, my theory is these two T206 backs (and LENOX) were the last T206's issued by ATC (circa early 1911).

In 2006, I started my run on the AB 460 cards and the UZIT cards. At this point, I am one card shy of completing the AB 460
run (74 cards). The UZIT run is far from being completed, as I've sold a number of them to Net54 collectors and David Hall.

Having said all this good stuff....if you have a UZIT....show it.

Hi Cliff

It was great meeting you at the National. And, providing you the PIEDMONT 460/#42 of Tommy Leach for your collection.

The biggest "kick" I get from the National is meeting up with many members of Net54.

I love seeing UZITs so here's a few of mine...

[Kawika]

Only have one Use-It. Wish I had more. It's a cool back.

[evergreen1988]

One of my favorites

[peterb69]

I have the Chance Uzit but it is buried in my spare room. I’ll try to get it and post a photo. Bought it from 707 many years ago at the Boston Card Show.

[atx840]

[MVSNYC]

Great cards, fellas!

Probably my favorite back. I've owned many of them over the last 30 years...this Mullin has been with me probably the last 6 or 7 years. Uzit backs can often look faded, or lightly printed...This is one of the boldest/darkest ones I've seen.

[RCFire82]

This is like a VIP thread that I'm just not invited to... : (

[tedzan]

For starters, we have 14 different UZIT cards accounted for.....not too bad
We have at least 46 more to show. And who knows, we may even come up with some of the 14 (currently) unconfirmed UZIT guys
to approach the total number of 74. So, let's go "gung-ho" and continue posting these rare "blue gems", and see where it takes us.

Hi PeterB

Any luck in finding your Chance (batting) with the UZIT back ?

Wow…the Herzog Boston Uzit in Leland’s went for $6,500 with the juice! No way I thought it would go that high. Well above what I was willing to spend, but someone got an amazing card!
