I've never owned a green Cobb. I have never noticed the off center tendencies with the card. This started out as an informative thread about that. And it devolved a bit. When I saw 95% I translated that to 'a bunch', 'most', 'generally', and 'about all'. It matters not whether it's 95% dead on, or merely eighty-something percent, or what. Most of the cards are skewed so they have a short top margin. I had not noticed that. Now I know it.

I've also learned a bit about some un-necessarily sharp remarks, we'd all been better off without those. Please.

"ALMOST" or "SOMEWHAT" centered Cobb's are not counted.

Only the obviously CENTERED cards with the PIEDMONT 150 back are considered.

And so far, they are........

2 ...... John McDaniel

1 ...... Chuck W (CW)

1 ...... Joe (jcmtiger)

1 ...... Tsaiko

1 ...... Dave H (toppcat)

LOL Ted I give up I can't make you count.....but for those of you who put faith in these lists created by folks and take them as gospel let this be a record for why you should take many things presented as fact with a grain of salt.

Frank, I agree I think most collectors of T206's have found Cobb's (Green) to be OC for the most part. Nobody has ever argued that, where this went wrong is when Ted chimed in on the past thread and posted a % number as fact of which I made the mistake of asking how he came to such a number...and then made the bigger mistake of not agreeing with him.

Oh and forget the fact he claimed one should by a Hindu Green Cobb if one would want a centered Green Cobb, that in itself was insinuating that he has seen Hindu backed Green Cobb's centered, but when corrected it was an elaborate test by Ted to see if we were awake.

Cheers,

John

Has anyone on this forum been a stronger advocate that American Litho. NEVER printed any T206 (and T205) Cobb's with a HINDU back than me ? ? ? ?

Do I have to dig up all my threads these past two years to prove this ?

How quickly some forget !
