Hey guys, I aint conceding yet. Not until, some one (anyone) with color printing expertise can explain the following color anomalies on this 5-card strip.

1st....here is an example of how the colors on this 5-card strip should look like, if it was an intact strip of these 5 images.

2nd....for those who are unfamiliar with American Lithographic's 6-color printing process involved in producing the T206's. These 6 ink colors were layered
over each other in the following sequence and each layer of ink was applied simultaneously to ALL cards on a given sheet (or strip).
YELLOW
BLACK
BROWN
BLUE
DARK GREEN
RED

Now, compare the Wagner strip with the above simulated "strip" and tell us why......

1....Wagner's collar is Blue, while the collars of Brown, Bowerman and Kling ARE NOT Blue ?

2....Why is CYoung's uniform color missing, while the uniforms of the other 4 subjects are their proper colors ?

3....Brown and Kling have Red backgrounds; however, Bowerman's uniform missing the Red "B" ?

These are valid points that engender serious doubts regarding the claim that the images on this strip were printed simultaneously. And, so far, no one here
has yet to provide a credible explanation for these color printing anomalies.

I still maintain that what we have here are 5 individual T206 front images that were professionally pieced together by an American Litho. employee in the
T206 pre-production phase in the Spring of 1909.
