Willis

I hope this is a new one to have added to your list. I have this Sullivan with what someone told me was a printers cut mark and a plate scratch. Is this the same card that was submitted by z28jd on page 3 of this thread?

While not new, that's a far better scan of Sullivan than I've found. I have a poor scan of one graded Auth with the same scratch but not showing the crop mark, which was probably trimmed off on that one.

Better scans help, since I'm also looking at the fronts. Each front has a few minor differences that match a particular back. Like having the little registration marks or not.

It's a very long term project on most cards, but a few of the tough ones have specifically identifiable fronts that always match particular back flaws.

I found three more.

O'Leary of Detroit
Jacklitsch of Philadelphia
Crawford of Detroit

I will post scans later tonight..........I need to go shovel a half foot or more of snow now.

Here are scans of the three additional ones I found. Hope this helps with your research. Note that the Jacklitsch has a second scratch near the bottom. I missed that one at first.

O'Leary

I haven't looked at my list yet, but I'm almost certain I don't have Jacklitsch with a double scratch yet.

I'd suspected multiple horizontal scratches because of the way they didn't usually line up, that one proves it.

It is the same one I posted(not the exact same card), looked back and saw I never put the name, but it is Sullivan with the same marks

Have any of these ever been married to a neighboring card or better yet, multiple cards either vertical or horizontal?

There's a few tentative pairings. That needs a bit more work. I was doing it with a puzzle I made by drawing the scratches onto some blanks I made and matching them. What's more solid are the ones with the same scratch on two different fronts. Those show how the subjects can't be from the same sheet.

It's cool that you are attempting this Steve. Maybe one day it will pay huge dividends. I cant put together a simple jigsaw puzzle where one knows the pieces fit, I could only imagine the difficulties in putting this together.
