T-206 Centennial
Posted By: RayB
This has crossed my mind more than a couple of times recently. How huge will the 100th anniversary of the T-206 set be in our hobby? |

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the 100 years coming up or not. TO me personally, it doesn't. Wouldn't make much of a difference if the 100 years had already come or gone. I just enjoy them probably moreso than any other vintage card, besides the oddball card that comes along now and then. By the way Ray, payment sent regarding something else. Thanks. |

If American Tobacco was still in business, it would be a special event. I'm gonna tape little party hats to my portrait variations and sing Happy Birthday! Watch for invitations |

So the centennial would be in September of 2009???? Would Duke University be the place to mark the centennial? |

My recollection is that the first appearance of an ad for cigarettes with the cards depicted was in a September issue of The Sporting Life. I have the March through September 1909 microfilm of The Sporting Life, I think the ad was near the end of the reel. There's a reproduction of the ad on the cover of Mr. Lipset's fine encylcopedia about T cards, and the ad is in the T206 section, too. |

people to notice the set, and also get more to collect it. I see the Hall Of Famers going way up and maybe even double in price. It comes down to supply and demand. In my opinion of course. |

That the cards in that ad feature the names along the top edge. You wonder whether the folks at the Tobacco Company who ran with the ad had even seen the cards yet at this point. |

What kind of back would have been in a Hindu box? Also, were there ever two cards per box? |

2 cards to a cigarette box for some of the non-New England markets (down south) is my understanding... 1 card for the northern brands for the carpetbaggers. And don't ya reckon they'ed put Hindu cards in Hindu boxes?? |

I think the names at the top in the ad aren't a big deal because the way the artist depicted the pack, only the tops of the cards were showing. So there was no other way to identify those two players. More interesting is that in August 1909, with that season nearly over, only the first series of 150 was being offered. Does anybody know at what point the expanded set of 350 was being advertised? And as far as 2009 being the centennial, it may not be that big a deal. I remember when 1993 was approaching I expected that the bicentennial of the first U.S coinage (half cents and large cents were the first American coins and they debuted in 1793) would be a big deal but I don't think it was. Can the T206 set be any more popular than it already is? |

Barry... how dare you suggest that pennies and half pennies are as significant as T206s. |

But when was the last time you found a half cent in your pocket change? Early American coinage is beautiful, especially the ones issued between 1793-1807. For those who are not familiar with them there are always many fine examples to be found on ebay. They are little pieces of artwork. |

I don't think it will make a lick of difference, especially since T206 doesn't have the yearly designation like all th excitement over the 1952 Topps set's 50th Anniversary. |

I think it has to be near Duke University... in honor of J B Duke, who got the American Tobacco Trust going. We need a small town out of the way. We can rent a tobacco barn, kill a pig, get some bar-b-q going, tap a keg, roast some ears (corn, city folks), get a pick up game of ball going. Gotta go a beer an inning, can't start an inning until everyone is caught up. |
