Default Are UZIT cards as scarce as BROAD LEAF 460 cards ?

Pat

You misconstrued my "fake news" comment. It absolutely was NOT directed at you.

I was referring to T206Resource's mis-leading the T206 collector's by claiming that these cards have been confirmed...…NOT TRUE !

Ames (hands above head) with AB 460

Chance (batting) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Bergen (catching) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Murray (portrait) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42
Overall (blue sky) with PIEDMONT 460, Factory #42

That there is the "fake news" which I was referring to.

OK, enough of that.


In your current thread, I had an idea by posting my Tom Jones cards that would help your theory regarding the Elite 11 with respect
to their PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG back printings. So, I posted these cards for you......





And, these cards proved to be of help. I was happy to read your response......

were printed using different plates than the PD150 and EPDG's.
but with the same mark on a PD150,PD350 and EPDG we can
rule that out. So a flaw would be found on a slightly smaller
% PD350 vs EPDG for the elite eleven and would be very
low % for a non elite eleven subject.

It also provides what I think is a pretty solid theory for the
mystery in the scarcity of the elite eleven with PD350 backs.

Ted's Jones is the first PD350 print flaw I've seen on any 350
back the theory I have is that ALC used pre-printed 150 sheets
while they were re-doing the plates for the 350 backs.

This theory is supported by the numbers I have for the print flaws.
If the EPDG printing began at the tail end of the PD150 the
printing flaws would be found at a higher % on EPDG
vs PD150 which they are. They would also be found at a slightly
higher % EPDG vs PD350 with the elite eleven and a very low %
for the non elite eleven subjects.


If they did use pre-printed sheets and they omitted the elite eleven
on the redone 350 sheets whether it was intentional or accidental it
would account for the scarcity of the elite eleven PD350's and they
would be a little less scarce with EPDG's because some of them
would have come from the tail end PD150 printing.
