Ted ZanidakisI was closely looking over my set and was going to post, but I think Elliott just
succintly conveyed my thoughts before I did. Anyhow, here is my "take" for
whatever it is worth.....perhaps a penny or two.
Since I have my T206's "segregated" in my album according to Series (150, 350, 460),
it becomes more evident. And, my observation is that the American Lithograph Co.
was a lot more creative with BLUE INK in the printing of the 2nd Series (350) cards.
Have you guys ever compared Kid Elberfeld (NY) with his Washington portrait card ?
The NY portrait (initially in the 150 Series) has the "Kid" with Brown eyes and the
and the tougher Washington portrait (350 Series-only) has the Kid with BLUE eyes.
I am just having my wake-up coffee; and, I will post scans on these two cards to
show this subtle difference. And, there are more examples of this in the 2nd Series.
And, of course the Ritchey card is probably the most outstanding example of this.
Kudos to you, Brian W, for bringing this to our attention.
