Strong grouping of T205 cards each with the Piedmont Factory 42 reverse. Early and extensive T205 research conducted by hobby scholar Joshua Levine indicated that the Piedmont Factory 42 reverse was among the most rare of all the T205 back varieties with only Drum Hindu and Broadleaf backs accounting for a lesser percentage of available backs. Subsequent schools of thought disagree slightly with this suggesting that while the Factory 42 reverse is indeed scarce it is likely not as scarce as originally thought as some collectors do not notice the Factory 42 when examining their cards simply thinking they have more common Piedmont backs. Still T205 collectors compete aggressively when the backs make themselves available because they are undeniably difficult to find. Included in this collection are the following: James Delahanty (SGC FAIR 20) Ray Fisher (BVG FAIR 1.5) William Foxen (PSA GOOD 2) David Jones (SGC VG 40) John Rowan (SGC GOOD 30) George Schlei (SGC FAIR 20) and Frank Schulte (PSA VG-EX 4). Seven cards total.
