T206 Matty's mystery.....missing backs.....where are they ?

[Yoda]

Ted, I once held the dark cap Matty with a Carolina Brights back. Don't know if they are super rare or not. John

I've owned a Matty Dark Cap Carolina Brights. There's a number of them out there, but certainly still pretty rare.

Illustrated are the SIX SUPER PRINTS for those of you new to the T206 game. American Lithographic initially printed these 6 subjects with SOVEREIGN 350 backs ("apple-
green" ink). And, subsequently printed them with the SOVEREIGN 460 backs. The SOVEREIGN 460 cards are considerably tougher to find than the SOVEREIGN 350 cards.

Note......Scot Reader deserves all the credit for his excellent research regarding the significance of these six T206 subjects.

Hey John

CAROLINA BRIGHTS....."It don't come easy".....as Ringo Starr would say (or sing).

Matty with a CAROLINA BRIGHTS back is tough, but not in the same class as the tough backs mentioned above.

Interestingly, the PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 POP report (PSA & SGC) data on 5 of the Six Super Prints ranges from 6 to 10 examples each.

Currently, Matty's data is 8 examples.

Not surprisingly, the red Cobb's data is as high as 20 examples. Which is typical, due to the usual Pop Report super star "redundancy factor".
