I did see a Heidelberg-Harris 6 color press being built. They were testing out making a metric spec press here in the US. They were a very early adopter of what's called integrated supply - where the company has maybe 3-5 suppliers for everything and gets massive discounts based on volume. They were doing that when most everyone was doing "just in time delivery" for parts and supplies. The company I was with was a distributor for a German hydraulic fitting company and I specialized in finding the less common stuff and identifying what customers wanted. HH came to me from the main office because their integrated supply partner for hydraulic stuff had to be told what page in what catalog a fitting was on even when given the part number At the time I knew our brands part numbers without looking them up, and knew their suppliers brand fairly well. maybe 20% without looking in the book. Over the course of a few months they bought what would turn out for some parts to be every piece available in the US aside from a few in stock at other distributors. One size of copper tube I had to get specially redrawn for them since the usual coils didn't work well with the compression fittings. Got to see one of the two they made when I dropped some stuff off at the factory. Massive machine. Steve B |

These are definitely printed on 1991 Topps Traded "white" card stock.
Also added a quick blurb with link to this thread on my blog.

These came from Tiffany Set.....
I have similar cards from 1985 Topps and they cam directly from a Tiffany Set. The ENTIRE set was an error with each card having a corresponding card that lined up with each other so to speak.
I was able to buy these 2 from my local dealer who saw the Tiffany Set and the guy was pulling these right from the set! The collector only sold my local shop a few of the errors (don't ask me why he broke this unique set but oh well!). I was late to the game and only got these 2 cards. The Pendleton front on the right is Glossy and the front on the left is not. Similar on the backs, if the front is glossy then the back is not and so forth. I think someone in this thread mentioned the possibility of these and the 1991s coming from Tiffany Sets and I can confirm that is exactly where they originated. I of course can't be sure on the 1991s but seeing these are very similar, I'd bet that they were. Peace, Mike DSCN1633.jpg DSCN1634.jpg |
