Most piedmont fact 42 backs I've seen exhibit some serious toning on the reverse. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas?

I have a Jennings dancing for joy pose. No toning at all, very clean back, graded a 5. I did, however, once have a factory 42 Chase with a very odd shade of blue ink - almost an aqua color. Not faded at all.

Five of the six I have are tinted a little darker than regular piedmonts. The two lightest ones are a psa 4 Lajoie batting and a vg wiltse throwing. With such a small grouping, it would be hard to come to any conclusion. The others 42s are Downey batting, Sweeney, Griffith, and White Chicago throwing. They range from poor to good.

No toning on mine (fairly clean, bright card) but it does have the weird light greenish-blue ink -- much more faint than any of my (too numerous) Factory 25's. (Sorry, no scan)

do you guys check the back scans of all the T206s on ebay, religiously, looking for Factory 42s, or are they just cards that you stumble upon? It sounds like there are several of you out there collecting them....

Hi Bob, my name is Todd and I'm a backoholic. I used to actually contact the sellers of each and every Piedmont 350-460 card on eBay with a small or fuzzy scan to inquire as to the Factory number hoping to score a 42 on the cheap. I apologize to all of you who had to endure these inane queries. I have recently completed my twelve steps and am now a (relatively) well-adjusted, semi-productive individual.

There is some toning on the back of my Chase Throwing (Dark) P350-460, F42. Crappy pic on the 2nd Feb pick-up thread.

Todd,

Don't worry about it...there are more of us out there.

I have two of these backs....Dougherty (arm up) and Jordan (batting).

One has a slightly toned back, while the other is bright white.

Hi Todd and welcome to Factoholics Anonymous.

Sadly our Pieds(5) are F25's. I will try to pay attention from now on.

i went on a "search" for fact 42's about 10 years ago...mostly at card shows where I picked up my 3 on the cheap because noone was collecting these. these days I still keep my eyes open for them but i don't harass sellers for 300 dpi back scans!!!

I have other problems though!

Has anyone noticed that all of the Piedmont 42 subjects mentioned on this thread appear in both the 350 and 460 series? One of the best kept secrets about Piedmont 42s is that they are almost impossible to find on subjects that appear only in the 460 series, and much easier to find on subjects that appear in both the 350 and 460 series.

BTW, I have five Piedmont 42s and none are toned.
