Pat R has actually done way more work on finding them than I have. It's great to see someone take an idea and really go to work on it. The whole sheet layout thing is so complex the only way I can see is to combine all the clues and the work of probably dozens of people. Even then I don't think we'll see a solid solution for any one back anytime soon. Doing it for a stamp can take decades with blocks available, and we don't have much beyond a few provable pairs.

Keep the info coming, someday the monster will be tamed.

Here's another Jacklitsch with the double scratch and an example of the same
scratch on two different fronts that Steve is talking about, Willis and Evers with the same scratches in three different locations that are all matching
scratches.

Nice!

Plus the first pair and last pair stack with each other. first above the last.

A Nichollls and McGraw that match up with the Jacklitsch. There is a short
piece of the lower scratch on the Nichols through the Y that ends at the T
in quality.

Beauty! Interesting that these three are similar color scheme & style. Nice work all.

Here's Another scratch that ties Nicholls,Jacklitsch And McGraw together.
It's Hard to see with the smaller scans so I highlighted the scratches.

That is awesome Pat! Is it a coincidence the cards are so similar in colors?

Nice work Pat!

Donnie That's a good question and it may be nothing more than a coincidence about the colors.

Not that we should ignore the colors, but don't let that be a big factor. When I was researching the Sweet Caporal 460 f#42 T206s that displayed a wet sheet transfer, 11 of the 12 cards either had a yellow or blue background. I thought the last card would also have one of these two colors for the background. The 12th card was Crandall (portrait with cap) with a red background. The wet sheet transfer is harder to see on this card since half of the transfer blends into the background color.

Here's another Red Dooin with a horizontal scratch.

I agree with Jantz probably just a coincidence with this group having similar
background colors based on past evidence of some groupings but I think
it's important to keep an open mind on the research.

Here's another pair with matching scratches. Hahn/Wilhelm
