I think Ted has a green Cobb with the line as well.

I don't think I have that green Cobb anymore. I will look thru my all-PIEDMONT set and see if I have any other P 150 cards with the "big plate scratch".

Very interesting thread.

......for your input on the Mullin card. However, there doesn't appear to be much interest on that subject.

Therefore, I'll switch back on topic here, namely the PIEDMONT 350 Schulte. I have been tracking the Schulte (front view) card for the past 6 years.....ever since
a number of us T206 "nuts" started our T206 surveys on Net54. Thanks a lot to your fantastic EPDG thread in 2006. I've checked-out several 100's of the Schulte
cards in these 6 years at shows, on ebay, auctions, and pop reports. The majority of them are PIEDMONT 150. Only about 33 % of them are SWEET CAPORAL 150.
And, a handful of them are SOVEREIGN 150 or brown HINDU cards.

Since no other examples of the Schulte with a PIEDMONT 350 back have been found, in at least 6 years, suggests that this particular PIEDMONT 350 Schulte card
is just an anomaly.....it's is not an American Litho. regular production T206 card.

Some on this forum think a 2nd example of this card will eventually be found ? Well, conventional probability tells us that this would have occurred by now. It's not
as if we are searching for a BROAD LEAF 460 back or a DRUM back.....it's just your ordinary PIEDMONT 350 back.

In my opinion, it's inevitable that we will accept the fact that rhe Schulte (front view) is a 150-only subject. Which is what we originally considered that it was 6
years ago.
