T206 Black vs Brown Lenox

[Jobu]

This is not my card, but it looks like it is unconfirmed. PSA doesn't call it brown, but I think it is.

Hi Bryan

The grader is colored-blind"....you and I are not

It is definitely a Brown LENOX. These LENOX backs vary in their shades of brown.

I have added Crawford (bat) to my confirmed list.

Thanks for posting this card.

Reprising the Brown LENOX cards from the T206 460-only series.

460-only series subjects confirmed with Brown LENOX backs.......




Chase (trophy)
Latham
Marquard (pitching)
Merkle (throwing)
Schlei (portrait)
Wiltse (portrait-cap)

According to my theory, there are 3 more subjects from the 460-only series,
which I expect will eventually be found with Brown LENOX backs......

Schlei (batting)

Schaefer (Washington)

Seymour (portrait)

Great thread!!!

brown Old Mill are scraps , brown Lenox are factory cut!!!

would love to see an example of a brown Lenox scrap! but they might have not made it to that pile



yes....seems very much to be the case.....printer always had an "interim" set up before different issues in AL New York:

Bitters Lash, Oakes Tobbacco, T 68 Men of History, and i'm sure many others...


being a scrap collector, they are the "missing links" that usually correlate issues on con current printing...

brown lenox were "subtle" brown, the printer probably just snuck them through....BOM are more obvious and were probably "scrapped"

Ted....check out my multi strike thread.....has some scrap tolstoi multi strike and other puzzle pieces....

T - 68 Men/History/


looks like has the same run on the grouping of Devore, McGraw, Devore, Tannehill....etc

just LIKE THE YELLOW BROWN SCRAPS! they are correlated to Broadleaf 460 printing

must have been "super printed" sheets of those


ps

I never owned a brown Lenox , but might in the future

[mrvster]

Hey Johnny

Jamie does not have (or will ever find) a Red Cobb with a brown LENOX back.

As you know, the Red Cobb is not in Group B of the 350/460 series cards which were printed with brown LENOX backs.

The Red Cobb is in Group A of the 350/460 series cards.

Recall (some years back), you posted a scan of the 35 - T206's that are in Group A (yellow/brown scrap).

Take care, my friend

From the prior post it looks like this same card was relabeled as black with PSA
