I found a new scratch in the row of the upper scratch on my template. It's
a Criger in the Criger/Davis slot. Sheet [A-B] X Large updated - Copy.jpg Criger%203%20Back%20-%20Copy - Copy.jpgCriger%203%20-%20Copy.jpg It's a slow process because these are difficult to find. For example all of these scratches are harder to find than a Mur'ay, nodgrass "error" ect... and Criger/Davis is a good example to explain why. They call them errors but they're not, it was caused by something that interfered with a letter in one of the positions for that subject on the sheet. There is a Davis that is missing a letter like the "errors" that have been catalogued. It's missing part of the R in AMER so it looks like AMEP. Davis%20H__1.jpg This Davis also happens to be one of the plate scratches. img392.jpg Sheet [A-B] X Large updated.jpg Davis and Criger occupy the same positions on this sheet. Here is the Criger with the same scratch as the Davis "AMEP". Criger- Davis Amep Match Back.jpgCriger- Davis Amep Match.jpg So to start with there is the difficulty of finding these at about the same rate as the "error" cards and there are a few other things to factor in. The scans have to be good enough to show the sratches and the ink in the area of the scratch has to be dark enough. It also has to be a Piedmont 150 back, most of the "error" cards are found on other backs with the exception of Dopner which has only been found on a Polar Bear back so far. I don't think a Dopner will be found any other back because in my opinion the Polar Bears were printed separate from all the other backs. Here are a couple of Davis Amep's with a SC150/649 back.

The top one is Davis and the bottom one is Criger. Davis, H [1] Back.jpg Criger [2] Back.jpg Quite a few collectors say the hunt is the most fun and it is for me too. I get a lot of enjoyment out of searching for and finding these. Last edited by Pat R; 09-10-2017 at 08:57 AM. |
