Making a case to put Upside Down Back on T206 Scarcity Checklist

[wolf441]

[QUOTE=mrvster;1364555]As all of you know I'm into T206 scraps and Freaks.....



Really?? I had no idea!

+1, add it on there! One more thing for me to buy to make the wife angry

How would you list them if it were up to you V? Back just has to be upside down or would you break them up by brand, amount of backs showing?

I vote yes if it's on the "error/freak" checklist, but not any regular/standard backs checklist. To each their own tho

classify as "upside down back".....just under broadleaf 460....

brown old mill is a scrap/ error freak.......no????


blank back is an error/ freak.........no????

why are they on the checklist?????????????????????

don't get me wrong they should be on the checklist....


why not upside down back???????????

doesn't make sense???


the factory cut uppys were issued in packs, where brown old mill and blank backs weren't even distributed to the public in packs or at all!!!

.....brown old mill wasn't and blank backs weren't even distributed at all!!!...


let's not even bring up the cobb

if blank back and brown old mill are on the list, why not an uppy???

(classifying all upside downs together/ scrap/ 4 back/ 2 back ect)....

for the sake of simplicity.......

they are all just as rare....

still no one made an educated case AGAINST them that makes sense to me

Good argument! You know how hard it is to not necessarily be on the same side in a debate as you?? With all of your enthusiasm and such?? You're my hero, man

Anyway...back to the matter at hand. You could easily make an argument for or against making them a part of the backs checklist. However, the way I look at it is that upside down backs were not meant to be upside down and aren't necessarily their own established brand, but rather is a created brand by collectors. If we make upside down backs their own "brand", do we now have to consider every unintentional back (error back) their own? For instance, how about the misplaced scroll on Sweet Caporal overprints?

Blank backs, brown old mill, etc,. Still carry a brand of their own. Each uppy carries it's original tobacco advertisement....I feel their is a separation between the two. And I also think that brown old mill and brown Lenox could be in the same discussion if they were created unintentionally and therefore are an error.
