T206 Marquard "White Lines"

[White Borders]

I'll propose that Marquard Hands at Thighs will have the white lines for Brown Hindu, P150, SOV150, SC150 F25/30/649, and EPDG back.

And it will not have white lines for P350, OM, SC350 F30 backs. (And if it exists with SOV350 or SC350 F25 backs, it will not have white lines.)

(According to Ted Z's survey, Marquard Hands at Thighs does exist with a SOV350 back. According to Tim C's survey, it does not exist with a SC350 F25 back.)

Best Regards,
Craig

My Marquard is a P150. So you are saying it will DEFINITELY have the white lines?

Hey Fred,

I think it will, but we won't know for sure until you tell us

Craig,
My SC 150, 25 above does not have the lines and OM does not.

Bobby, thanks a lot for shooting down my theory in like five minutes!

My thinking was that since Marquard Hands at Thighs is a 150-350 series, the 150's + EPDG would have the lines and the 350's would not. Oh well.

Best Regards,
Craig

Criag,
Always happy to help shoot down the easy theory!

So you gonna post a pick of the Evers in the High Grade Prewar thread for me or what! Just show me the card, I miss it so!

Hope all is well,

One question. While these lines apparently appear on all cards of certain backs, while seemingly not at all in others, and considering the way all the t206 brands are lumped into one big bunch, shouldn't this be noted as a separate variation?

I could see not even bothering to mention it if each brand were considered it's own issue. But since they're not, then it would make sense that this need mentioned and listed as it's own card.

I say, bump the master set up 1 card. We should do a poll on this.

Thanks to all who have responded so far. Maybe this is another Ritchey Dove/No Dove situation--although Craig yours is the first non-EPDG I have seen with the lines.

Craig,

I will differ from you a bit. I will guess that a small % of Piedmont 150s, a small % of Piedmont 350s and all EPDGs will show the lines, but that the other backs will not--the reason being that the lines are a print flaw that first appeared at the very end of the 150 print run and lasted until the early stages of the 350 print run when the 150/350 subjects were printed with EPDG.

Scot,

I now differ with me, too. I found a P150 Marquard without the white lines in the following thread, Post #16.

Craig,

I will probably be proven wrong in a matter of minutes too. Misery loves company!

Sorry Scot, I really didn't want to be the guy to post one without the lines.

[sreader3]

Damn it, Tim. Now I will have to rethink this whole business!

Scot---

Now that Craig differs w/ himself, I like your theory alot.

Craig---

I am notoriously slow when it comes to opening my submission returns--I am a firm believer that the longer one waits to look, the better the grades will be! I do not even look at my SGC report to know what they graded until such point that I open them. It drives alot of my friends crazy that I don't rip right into them.
