T206 Survey Piedy 42 Light VS. Dark...

[MVSNYC]

Derek- i used to own your last (boldest) Uzit. i have specifically focused on trying to find the boldest, darkest examples of each back. enjoy that card (Mullin).

My only Piedy 42 is this one - do I correctly guess that this one is considered "dark"?

Nice! I absolutely love the Mullin. Did you know that he pitched a no hitter on the 4th of July? It was his birthday to boot

I agree that there is something interesting with the shades of ink. Maybe it is a matter of fading, but if it pertains to printing groups, or something similar to the Sovereign 350 variations, that would be really awesome. Personally, I am stumped as to what it could mean, but I am sure there are at least a handful of people here who have some pretty interesting theories (assuming it is not just a fade, which would obviously not be as fun :/ )

keep 'em coming guys! great input...

btw....I believe the uzits are different in they are "shades" off, where as the 42's are almost a powder or baby blue, then the other piedys are a type of navy blue...more of a dramatic color change on the 42's, but I do see what your sayn' bout uzits

Here is my only 42. It is a McIntyre (B&C).

Val,

Good question on whether that is considered dark. When I went through the ones I own I put that shade into the light pile. However I want to hear what Johnny and Brian think when they see the card. That may change my percentages on my group.

I have noticed the same phenomena with Uzits. THey certainly seem to come in either dark blue or light/powder blue. I don't see much ambiguity about which are which.

A few I've owned Johnny.

I've had only 5 - 42's in my collection. The 4 pictured here, and a Rucker. Four of them have lighter blue backs; and, the Baker appears
to have a darker blue back.

The blue Chase is still mine....the other 4 were traded (or sold) to Net54 members.
