What is all this "double-speak" of yours......
" Using the number of examples in each given series and relating it to the printing process doesn't work. For example the 150 Only group of 12
that Ted cited above. Their only relationship is that they were not continued into the 350 series. There are no indicators that they were related
in the printing process but actually the contrary as some can be found with backs others can not. The completed number of printed examples
over a period of time does not give us proof of the number printed at a specific time. "
We both know damn well that the first (150) Series of Major Leaguers consists of a total of 156 subjects. And, if we consider the PIEDMONT 150
run....all 156 cards were printed.
NOW TELL ME (simply without any of your rationalizations or diversions), do these 156 subjects with PIEDMONT 150 backs divide evenly by 12 ?
I really don't understand you, you are certainly smarter than this conjecture of yours......
You are taking ONE example, the 34 HINDU SL cards, and attempting to arrive at a baseless premise that American Litho. printed T206's on 34-card
sheets. Well, consider this theory: these SL HINDU cards were printed on a 36-card sheet. The 2 missing cards may have been Rockenfeld & Seitz.
As you well know these two guys were with their same teams from 1908-1910. Furthermore, Seitz was the batting Champ in his League.
Back in 1980, when I first started collecting T206's, Rockenfeld and Seitz were identified with HINDU backs. What has happened to these two, is
certainly a mystery. However, if the 2 missing cards from this 36-card sheet are not them, then ALC most likely Double-Printed two SL to fill-out
that 36-card sheet.
And, how many times are we going to re-hash this ?
"Is it a coincidence that a pre printed sheet of Sweet Caporal 150's were over printed with Factory 649 and the number of cards in that set is 34?"
Once again....you persist to dispute my contention......
That the SWEET CAPORAL 150/f649 set was printed on a 36-card sheet (and that one card was not issued for whatever reasons)....hence, this is
a 35-card sub-set.
Well then, check-out this is excerpt......
"150/350 subjects confirmed with the Sweet Caporal 150/649 back are: Alperman, Bates, Bransfield, Bresnahan (Portrait), Clarke (Cleveland),
Davis (Chicago), Davis (H. on Front), Delehanty (Washington), Ewing, Gilbert, Goode, Griffith (Portrait), Johnson (Portrait), Jones (St. Louis),
Killian (Pitching), Lajoie (Throwing), Lake (New York), Liebhardt, Manning (Batting), Marquard (Hands at Thighs), Matthewson (White Cap),
McIntyre (Brooklyn), McQuillan (Ball in Hand), Nicholls, O’Leary (Portrait), Owen, Pastorius, Ritchey, Schlei (Catching), Schmidt (Throwing),
Sheckard (No Glove), Spencer, Wagner (Bat on Left) and Wilhelm (Hands at Chest).The availability of Powers from the 150-only group with
this back raises the number of subjects confirmed with the Sweet Caporal 150/649 back to 35."
Do you know from where this was excerpted ?
And, please, simply respond with the source and a name ? ?
