...but can someone at least tell me how many cards a T206 set minus Wagner, Plank, Magie and Doyle Variations would have? Is it not 520? |

I was suprised at the auction b/c the majority of the HOFers were trimmed and the auction still beat the other 2 T206 lot that were sold that didn't have all of the trimmed carnage. |

Thanks for the response! (I have the Monster, and should have just checked it myself.) I pulled the list off of T206museum.com and it purports to list the backs in scarcity order. I really have no personal idea on relative scarcity, other than what I've read on the board. My scarcest back is an American Beauty... |

Perhaps Mastro included some variations in the lot and/or used a checklist that included variations. |

Here is a scan of the single overprint Old Mill I have. I picked this up in a Lew Lipset auction a number of years ago. From the creases it looks as if it is the one scanned on the t206museum.com. It also happens to be brown. |

but the overprint appears to be a Sweet Cap overprint, printed upside down on the back of an Old Mill card? I can't make out what it says, but it would appear to be a printers scrap back, giving credence to the idea that the same printer printed all the cards and they were just distributed to the factories as needed. |

The overprint is: Factory 649 1st Dist. N.Y. |

I've never seen that back either and it's hard to imagine the overprint would have been deliberately printed upside down. But no question it is extremely rare; the red print looks really neat. I love it! |

or is it just a printing error? I could see it as a really neat printing error, much like a blank backed card, or one of those you see occasionally where there are the corners of four card backs printed on the back of one card, but an actual "classified as rare" back type? I'd be more convinced if the printing was at least right side up. (I'm not ripping your card, Louis. It is very cool, and would be a great addition to a T206 collection. I just have trouble calling it a back type, not a print error. The Cobb back would be a closer family member than this seems to be.) |

Old Mill overprint bar also comes with black bar variations. There are two known to exist. Has anyone ever seen a OM overprint double bar in color? Does it has red or black bar? |

I think the old mill overprints deserve a little more discussion. |

That is an interesting thought that the red overprint was mistakenly placed on this Old Mill card instead of a Sweet Cap. And Upside down to boot. |

The question is if the sheet were placed properly aligned on the printing press instead of upside-down, would that overprint be at the bottom of the card where it belongs? It's about and inch and a half too high. |
