Default MISSION 95% ACCOMPLISHED....Sweet Cap 460/42 ovpt subset

Posted By: Bob Manning

Tim, and others,

It's hard to read "My goal here is to complete the 55-card run from the 350/460 Series with the Sweet Caporal 460 Factory 42 N.C. Overprinted backs" in any way other than a few others (and I) have done. I showed two cards from the 350-460 series with Factory 42 overprints. That they were also not to heve appeared in the 360 run isn't really made clear. They are, after all, Factory 42 overprints of the 360 series. Even "This large stock of the 55 Subjects with the Factory 30 back, however, were never issued since this plant was closed" doesn't quite do it, since there's no casual way of knowing what was and what wasn't released as a Factory 30. Other heading for Scot Reader's exhaustive research, and, of course, that's what I finally did. While Scot's research is truly amazing, it took a bit of looking to find what was included in the 460 series only. And even Homer nods.

Sorry Ted. But hey, the night is young. I'll mess up a few more times before midnight!

Bob
