Dave HornishI wonder if T206's were printed in quadrants or something like that on the sheet. J. Hull's three cards with differing top/bottom names share orange backgrounds and it would not be unthinkable for a group of cards with say red backgrounds being printed below this group, then transitioning to orange midway up the sheet. If you have ever seen a 75 Topps sheet this is a noticeable thing, the grouping of similar colors on a sheet. Imagine a vertical grouping of cards say 5 high, then a transition to another grouping going up the sheet.
Or perhaps the top few rows of a T206 sheet could have been variable and those below were a set bunch of players.
Great stuff, love the scans.
