Baby Got "Backs" T206

For you guys who collect shades of different back colors like sovereign's light green...there's two different distinct shades of Piedmont fact. 42. Collect those too?

Robert,

GREAT POINT

The Sovereign Apple Green is only found on the 350-460 subjects, therefore a separate back. I have studied along with others and have not yet found that the different shades of Piedmont 42 come on certain subjects but do have examples of 2 different shades in my collection.

At this time I don't believe there are 2 colors of Piedmont 42 but just different degrees of ink applied.


edit-John-great back set and I feel fortunate to have viewed it in person.

I don’t think as of yet I would call these two color distinct color variations in regards to Piedmont Fact.42. In regards to Sovereign there is a distinct pattern that the “Apple” green shows up on and only those cards…but just in case….guilty as charged.

Somebody should do a survey.

I just want to add that you probably are right about the Piedmont 42s. -I-we- just haven't figured it out yet. It does appear to be two colors.

I guess the question would be which is rarer.. the lighter blue or the darker blue.. I would guess the darker.. all pied 42's I have seen have been lighter..

Hi Jim,

Wouldn't both the lighter shades of Sovereigns and Piedmonts be found with certain groups of players because those players were on the same sheets where the ink was applied lighter? Kind of like T210-3 "orange" borders. The orange color was not purposeful. I won't pretend to be an expert on the printing process, but I've always assumed it was more of a quality control issue. Been wrong before though.
