Konetchy (Glove High)

[Pat R]

I want to thank Scott (mybuddyinc) for breaking up one of his lots to sell
me this Konetchy.

This is the first non PD 150 I've found with this mark (all of them also have the
same plate scratch on the back). I'm not sure why but the %'s are very low
for the Sweet Caporals compared to the Piedmonts for cards like this but
it must have something to do with the printing. It seems like only a small
percent of the same plates were used for the SC's.

I have a P150 without splotch or scratch.

I have a PIEDMONT 150 and a SOVEREIGN 150....neither of them have a blue spot.

Furthermore, I sold two Konetchy's at the National last summer....one was a PIEDMONT 150 and the other a SWEET CAP 350/30. Neither of these had a blue spot.

Pat,

I am never without wonderment with your "eye" for these things !!! How you can "spot" a "spot" is uncanny.

Funny, when Pat asked me about this card, I thought its was for his "plate scratch" research. I replied that you don't want it, the upper mark is a smudge, and the lower a crease. Never saw the cheek spot !!!

Interesting that there is a "connection" between Pied. and SC. What ?? I don't know.

Fun stuff, Scott
