Johnny

A Freak back checklist would be a project with your name all over it!

Leave me out though, I'm still trying to figure out why there aren't any Drum 460 backs.

AB 350 & 460....check
Broad Leaf 350 & 460....check
Cycle 350 & 460....check

Drum 350 & ___ ....what happen?

Johnny, you're the man...one request, can we call them USDB's instead of "uppys"?

Please?

[mrvster]

Mike, I can see where your coming from

Jantz

Not a bad idea!

Mike s,


yes!!! no more "uppy"

[ethicsprof]

Johnny,
I remember ages ago when Mike S. pleaded with you to change the name
from 'uppys'. How long will your 'yes' last this time?

I do think Mike's suggestion of USDB is pretty difficult to say quickly.

I'm for doing anything you suggest if it helps you get that wagner you've wanted for aeons!

all the best, ole buddy

I'm "OK" with adding them! But I have one!!!

A serious question. Are they upside down backs or upside down fronts?

I'm not sure of the printing process for the t206s so hope someone can help answer this.

[mrvster]

YOU ROCK! I WANT Wags so BAD!

You've always been in my corner.....

that question was a good one.....are they upside down fronts??? I don't think I could answer that......just thinking logically that the backs were upside down cause if it were the front, they would notice right away??? thoughts???

Much like quantum physics, it is relative according to the field of the observer.

Best regards,

Eric

P.S. It could also be viewed as Schrödinger's cat. It is both, simultaneously, until slabbed by a TPG. At that point, it is an upside down back...provided that they slab it with the front facing forward and seated right-side up.

P.S.S. I am in a smart-assed mood this evening, so please take this post with a grain of salt.

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.
