1911 T205 Gold Border Baseball Forum

After the success of rebuilding the T206 set with Dan aka Vrooomed, I reallly, really wanted to give the T205 set the same treatment.  There really isn't anything else like this checklist now anywhere, especially when it comes to a place to cataloge your set.  The set was an interesting challenage as no grading company recognizes all the back variations.  SGC at least recognizes different add backs.  I was also greatly helped out by the collector's over at Net54 and their T205 masterlist.  Neither of them were complete references, but using the two and then trying to verifiy almost every back in the set, I was able to put together the checklist now available.  With the help of Dan once again, we were able to totally revamp the T205 set so that you can now log your cards based on the back and/or front variations.  

I do want to say that while this checklist is a best effort there are likely cards still to be discovered and added to the checklist, so if you notice anything out of place or a card you know exists and needs to be added please submit an IR.

Also if you have quality scans of the missing cards please add them, just no frankencarding!  And you may have to adjust your collections now.

Thanks again to Dan for all the help in getting the checklist reformated and all the images, collection information, and pricing info moved.

All I can do is stand and applaude. That's the 2nd massive undertaking (that I know of at least) on the tobacco sets you've done in the recent past. Take a moment good sir, you've earned it.

Nice work! Thanks for putting the time into this. I'll definitely check out all the new details.

As a guy who really cares about tobacco cards, I am so impressed and grateful for this Herculean effort. I feel guilty, yet relieved, that I did not volunteer to help. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Outstanding work.

Some people may have noticed the flurry of IRs that went in over the last 48 hours between Mark and I for this set and the week-long flurry while we were handling the T206 (we learned from that effort), but what you didn't see was all the research that Mark put in. Both to this set and the T206. Without him, these checklists would not be what they are today.

Thank you, Mark, for all of your effort. These are all your hard work.

That is awesome.  Thank you!!!!

One of these days I need to pick up one of these cards.  Would be cool just to have one in my collection.

An awesome feat. I clicked on a few of the scans. What would have made it even better if the scans were able to zoom to get a better idea of the quality of the backs of the cards.

Amazing job guys!

That would have required all new scans. 99% of the scans in this set had been added 8-9 years ago.

Excellent work guys! Very cool to just look at them. I'll add a few to my Want list in case anyone wants to trade one or two for some of my '21 Topps. '11 to '21... only a 10 year difference right? ;D
