Aside from the Ty Cobb advertisement, the Broadleaf
460 subjects is considered the rarest T206 back. Considerably
more difficult to acquire than the Broadleaf 350, (which is
above Carolina Brights in rarity). The exact number in existence
today is unknown, a survey of 437,000 T206's in 1999 listed
only 8. In 2001 about 6 more were found. |
The Drum back is also extremely
difficult to acquire. A survey of 437,000 T206's in 1999 listed
only 29 .
"Home Run" Baker earned his memorable nickname in
the 1911 World Series, when he hit game-winning home runs on
successive days against the Giants' future Hall of Fame pitchers
Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson. |
Next in rarity is the Uzit back.
Drum had ceased production of T206 cards before Uzit even started
issuing them. Most of the other manufacturer's had been issuing
the cards long before Uzit and Lenox, thus their scarcity. |
