I'd like to post some pictures but I feel like i'm always the under bidder. So, I don't have any to show. :( I would really like my first CB to be a Hal Chase Blue Portrait.

Hi Ron

We may be in for a "fight" for the blue Chase with a Carolina Brights back :)

Currently, my blue Chase run includes 21 different T206 backs......the 2 missing backs in this run are CAROLINA BRIGHTS and DRUM.

Here is my very 1st blue Chase card (acquired in 1981)......

And, here is my more recent blue Chase acquisition (2016)......

Very nice Red Hindu. I still need many of the tougher backs such as Broad Leaf's, Carolina Brights, Coupon Type 1, Cycle 460, Drum, Hindu Red, and Lenox's. My first Blue Chase, a PSA 4 Piedmont 42 was acquired in early 2011.

Hi Ron

Here's my PIEDMONT 460/42 blue Chase.

All my Pd/42 cards are printed with the light blue ink. Do you have any of them with the dark blue ink ?

Hi Ted, I have two with the darker ink. One is Rube Marquard Pitching Follow Through, and the other is Arlie Latham.

Continuing PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42 cards
 

Hey guys,

Pardon me for having a "senior moment". I forgot about the trimmed PIEDMONT 460/42 cards that I have stashed away in the archives.
Obviously, they are the dark blue ink variety.

With the exception of Chase (who is part of my blue Chase run), I've traded (or sold) most of my PIEDMONT factory #42 cards.

And, I do recall that I sold this Latham to Adam G.

It's interesting to see light and dark ink variations of the same cards. I know it was talked about in a post years ago. I wonder if there's a dark ink variation of blue portrait Hal Chase. I've only seen light ink variations on his card.

You can find light and dark variations in all the series with piedmonts, maybe not as often or pronounced as the 42's but the biggest variation in color
are found on the Polar Bears.
