David HornishHi there Scot. The gas smell in Manhattan today freaked out my company and I was home by noon so I just re-read your monograph today for the 4th or 5th time!
I have often wondered if there was some interchangeability in how the T206's were made up for the brands. Could a company like Polar Bear request that a couple of cards be substituted? Or did the ATT have 2 or 3 production facilities spread thru the country (I believe Topps used two 3rd party facilities in the 50's and 60's to print their cards so it's not unheard of) allowing some variations to creep in? Or did they offer say 90% of a set group of cards per series and allow for some input from the brands? Any why would they print all the different factory information? Would not just the brand name be enough?
Questions, questions.....Well, I seem to be leaning at last toward the central printing theory, don't I?
