Reviewing the T206 150-only subjects....with a "twist"......show us some cards

Yes, the criticism that I expect from some of you is that this Schulte is part of the Elite 11 group. Well, I say do not be
so quick to dismiss my proposition. For it has not been proven that one Schulte with a PIEDMONT 350 back is not just
a mis-printed error. The cards of Elite 11 group are defined by having a PIEDMONT 350 back and an EPDG back.

And, until I see this Schulte with an EPDG back, I consider this card a 150-only series subject.

Feel free to discuss this issue.

Schulte is a plate scratch match with Waddell (Portrait) on this plate scratch
sheet.

There were two different front's printed using the same back plate for this
plate scratch sheet. Based on the information from this sheet in my opinion
I think Waddell was on one front plate (B) with Wagner and Schulte was on
the other front plate (A).

I'm looking for a scratch to confirm this but I think Doc White (portrait)
might have been the subject that replaced Wagner. There are a couple
of other possible candidates but there are a few things that suggest
it could be White.

Hi Pat

Very interesting, thanks for posting your scans.

Especially, the horizontal strip of 15 cards which includes the ten 150-only subjects and Schulte....but, not Powers.
Can I assume that this scan appears to support my thesis stated in post #1 and post #12 ? ?

Also, I guess any kind of PIEDMONT 150 plate scratch information on Plank and Wagner is obviously not available.

Sorry that my Schulte doesn't have any plate scratches to match with your's.

Incidentally......
Regarding the Waddell portrait card, I've always wondered why this card is the only one in the 150 series with
a deep Blue background (similar to the 350 and 460 series cards) ?
All the other Blue background cards in the 150 series were printed with a pale or lighter Blue color.


150 series....................................350 series
