Default T206 Elberfeld controversy.....continued

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

I'll first answer your question with these scans....look at Cobb's eyes in these two examples.....

350/460 Series card



150 series card





My Green Cobb scan isn't the best....anyhow, in his 150 Series card he has Brown eyes and (as is evident) in his
350/460 Series card he has Blue eyes.

This is nothing unusual....as I have noticed (and have previously mentioned) that after the 1st series of the T206
production American Litho. used deeper Blue ink in the printing of their subsequent two series (i.e., 350 and 460).

This became clearly evident to me when I was assembling my Piedmont set where I arranged the 518 cards into their
respective series in my BB card album.
