Pat I fully understand what you refer to as "plate scratches". I've followed your posts regarding your Piedmont 150 analysis. Furthermore, when I was a teenager, I worked as an apprentice in a print shop and I am familiar with printing practices. I respect all the time & effort you have put into your T206 project. However, we are now talking about E90-1 cards. E90 cards were printed by a Lithographic firm in Philadelphia (1908-1910). The T206's were printed by American Litho (NYC) and it's my understanding that state-of-the-art rotary off-set presses were used to print these cards. I took the trouble of scanning Ebay's current listing of E90-1 cards. There are 178 unique E90-1 cards listed whose backs are visible in this listing. Only 7 of these cards exhibit "ink streaks"....resulting in 3.9 %. The grand total (of this group and the group noted in Post #36) is 386 samples. Only 14 of these cards have "ink streaks" resulting in a mere 3.6 %. I repeat: such a limited sampling (plus the varying characteristics of the "ink streaks") of these E90-1 cards certainly does not make for a reliable (or scientific) method for attempting to determine valid sheet layout, or series structure ?
