Sweet Caporal 460/25 moving factory lines
In pursuit of the Sweet Caporal 350-460 factory 25 subset, I noticed a slight printing variation for the bottom factory line. Not significant, but interesting, at least to me. Also, t206 print experts might want to weigh in... Were these printed on the same sheet, or different sheets? Was the factory number line added later?
Since most t206 selllers don't mention the back number, I tried to find a way to quickly determine the card's factory. In doing so, I found that the factory line has two variations - Type 1: This type is found in under 20% of the cards that I've surveyed over the last few years. Notice a line extended from the T in subjects cuts through the S to make a $. Also, a line from the B cuts through the Y in factory. (Please note that I may or may not own some of these cards... I've done some upgrading/trading.) |

Type 2: These cards miss the S when drawing a line extended from the T. It also does not intersect from the B to the Y.

all new Micro Variations!
Maybe they were texting and printing at the same time...

I agree with you, the factory designation had to have been added after the rest of the back had been printed is that possible? By the way nice detective work.

Thanks for sharing Tony. I think this is a very important discovery — and so subtle it’s really impressive that you noticed! Reminds me of E121-80 Type 4. I wonder if there are multiple types of Factory 30 and 42 as well.
Agree this variation suggests the factory line was likely added to SC 460 cards after the rest of the back, similar to the Factory 649 overstrike in SC 150 and the Factory 42 overstrike in SC 460. Again, now wonder if there are multiple “shifted” factory line types of SC 460/30 and SC 460/42 no overstrike backs .... Last edited by sreader3; 10-03-2018 at 08:47 PM. |

In my opinion I don't think the factory's were added after the backs
were printed. If they were I think we would see examples that are significantly out of alignment like some of the overprints which were added after. I also think you would see some examples with no factory at all if they were added after. img053.jpg img053 - Copy.jpg |
