Proof? T206 were printed in rows of more than twelve

This is really great work Chris! It was about 8 or 9 years ago when I first realized I had these t206s with a strange Andy Warhol motif on the back. Freaks were not nearly so popular then and some even told me they were worthless to any "serious" collector. At the time Trae (from this board) helped me figure out that some of them actually fit together and he posted the scans of all of them here on the board for me to get people's reactions (I had never even heard of this board). Trae soon identified the Lash's post card on eBay and figured out that that was the image printed on the back. I am really glad all these years later that people are still interested in these cards and that they are helping smart, computer saavy sleuths like Chris continue to discover new things about this great set which, at age 105+, continues to hold some secrets.

I have sold four of them individually over the years (and know at least two of those were resold) but decided to hold on to the two main groups of three that fit together, and a couple singles. It's nice to see people continue to post and enjoy them.

David,
I remember auctioning one of them for you, and while I found them to be incredibly interesting, I don't think the market was there at that time. Today, they are gold.
