Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress II

[t206hound]

I honestly didn't think this was going to lead anywhere... but I'm digging what you've got so far. I'm impressed!

Great work Steve,

I haven't found any new scratches (other than the Doyle-throwing that I posted originally), but I've been looking. This looks like a sheet might be taking shape!!

[t206hound]

And another thing, if this placement is correct, then we have at least three rows of each player on a sheet...

Again, I'm very impressed (and glad I provided a few scans)...

I have a covaleski P150 with a printer line on the back.. do you want to see a scan ? This can help you in your research?

Excellent work so far! Please keep checking your P150 backs everyone

Yes, any mark can help.

Another interesting thing is that many of the lines only extend to the edge of the design and not into the edge of the card. That seems like they made some attempts at fixing whatever happened. I have scans of a couple cards that look as if a scratch might have been almost completely erased.

Small bits of plate damage can be fixed with a special crayon that fills in the damage. It also can scuff off the ink holding areas to repair mistakes in a small area.

Thanks Nelson, that's a new player. I'll have to check if it's a new scratch.

That's 43 different subjects now.

Great work Steve! I keep an eye out on ebay for any I haven't seen here before. Hope others do too

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I don't see the scratch. Can one of you explain it to me?

[t206hound]

Had a moment so looked for Durham P150s. Found one with a different scratch on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300855689268

I do not want to derail this great thread,but I've been cataloguing the Magie error, definitely some distinguishable features from the different front and back plates.

These three all have a blue fleck on the left border and lower left as well as the green background is shifted slightly down on the fronts.

Wow, nice work Steve !! Very impressive.

Good eye on those Magie cards Chris.

Sincerely, clayton

Not a derailment at all.

The plate would have printed cards before getting scratched, and consistent marks like those would carry over to the scratched plate. If they don't we'll know there was more than one P150 back plate. If they do, it's another bit of info.

I was looking at Magie since it has just the one back and is uncommon enough that it's almost certain to have only been on one sheet.

A nice find would be a Magee with the same back as those three.
