For both T206s and E90's, the scratches found so far and studied just happen to be on the backs. They were printed from stones, which weighed a lot being 2-4 inch thick pieces of limestone. A bit of debris could scratch the stone, leaving an area that would now hold ink. It's probable that the scratched ones were mostly backs for a few reasons, The back stone got used for a much longer time- as we've seen, on multiple different front sheets. Being single color, and an ad, the scratches probably didn't merit redoing the whole stone. A scratch creating a line of color on the front might have. (Plus, there were at least 6 front stones) Not all front problems got fixed, and it's probable that each position can be identified. Generally a scratch will correspond with any flaws found on the front. A real find would be a front with a flaw that doesn't have the scratch on the back. That would mean that that particular exact subject/position was printed both before and after the scratch happened. Pat would know better, but I don't think any have been found. |
