Default Calling all recruits

Hey Bob,

Your and Tim N's VCBC articles are still one of the best go-to sources for general info about the T207 set as far as I am concerned. Mine are around here somewhere, but we've been cleaning up and they've been "misplaced" for the moment. I was hoping to have another nice read as it is gray and gloomy and way too warm for Louisville in mid-December.

Your post reminds me of some of the details, though, and clearly the overall back breakdowns are still accurate after 10+ years. If I recall, what wasn't covered in Tim's survey was the factory breakdown between 606 and 240 in the Recruit subclass (though it was for factories 3 and 25 in the Anonymous group of the Broadleaf sub-class).

Ken's original post was on the ratio of Factory 240 vs Factory 606 Recruits. Within that subset, the number of wrong-print T207 Recruit backs (and the brown-print ones I mention in my previous post) is so small is to have literally no effect on the overall ratio of Factory 240 to 606 . Blank backs have exactly 0 impact (they can't be either one). I strayed slightly from the original topic in response to Ken's question about brown-ink backs.

I do remember various folks posting on the board over the years about the ratio and think that 3-1 was a given as a decent estimate when you look at the aggregate across all T207 Recruit poses. Too lazy to do a site search right now, though.
