For new and old collectors of the T206 set, provided here is the entire checklist of the 2nd Series cards
and their available backs. I'll follow up with similar checklists for the 350/460 and 460 Series. Personally,
I think by arranging the T206 cards with respect to their different series lends itself to a better under-
standing of the front/back permutations of "The Monster".
The added benefit of this knowledge is to help the collector to avoid acquiring "fakes" that have impos-
sible front/back combos.



Shown here are all the possible T206 backs that the 216 Subjects in the 2nd Series were printed with
(unless noted).

Damn, now I have to add the drum to the list. Thanks Ted, always a pleasure to have you share your research.

Rawn

Ted!  ew da man!

 

Thanks for the info!

Marty

For the sake of completeness....there are 13 different backs in the 350 Series......

The Sweet Caporal 350 back can be a Factory 25 or Factory 30.

In response to an email from a Net54 reader....I left out the Joe Doyle error card from the 350 Series
list, since it was a printing variation that was immediately corrected; and therefore, less than 10 ap-
pear to have found their way into PIEDMONT cigarette packs.

But, I list it here to be complete.....

Joe Doyle, N.Y. Nat'l......was printed only with the PIEDMONT 350 back. The normal "Doyle, N.Y." card
is quite available and can be found with the following backs......

PIEDMONT 350
SOVEREIGN 350
SWEET CAP 350
EPDG
OLD MILL
POLAR BEAR
TOLSTOI

Ted,

Thanks for continuing this "series". It has been very helpful.

ChiSoxFan

Looking for T206 in Poor to Good condition.

Ted,

Doesn't the American Beauty also come in a frameless in the 350 series?

With the exception of the Simon Nicholls (bat) card, the American Beauty 350 back with FRAME
is possible on the remaining 213 cards in this series.

The 55 T206 cards in the 350/460 Series were printed with the American Beauty 350 (No FRAME)
back. This Nicholls card was intended for the 350/460 Series; therefore, this card exists with the
No FRAME back. However, his Major League career ended April 25th 1910 when he was traded to
Cleveland. And, refused to play there. He went back to his farm in Maryland and then continued
his BB career with Baltimore playing for Jack Dunn (Mgr.).



Therefore, having been designed for the 350/460 series, the Nicholls card was never extended
into the 460 series. So, since Nicholls is not found with a 460 back, this card has been classified
as a 350 Series card.

Thanks for an excellent question.....I hope I have made this exception clear.


TED Z

Thanks Ted. As always, you're very generous about sharing your tremendous knowledge about this set.

David R.

To follow-up the response to you, I'll be posting the 350/460 Series next. And, I am sure some
great questions will be asked on this series, as it is the most complex of the 5 sequential series
that comprise a complete T206 set.

TED Z

Popped to the top for reference convenience on topic currently in the 350/460 thread.

Should he be included here?

Thanx, I added Starr to the list.
