Your citing my original research (posted on this forum two years ago) regarding the correlation between the SWEET CAPORAL 150,
Factory 649 (overprint) subjects and their Brown HINDU counterparts. And, I realized at that time that the Nicholls card was the
exception to this correlation. As, Brian Weisner convinced me that a Brown HINDU card of Nicholls will not be found.
So, does a Nicholls card with the SWEET CAPORAL 150, Factory 649 (overprint) back exist ?
At this point, I cannot say it exists or it does not exist. Perhaps, I imagined it several years ago when I put together this sub-set.
Or, perhaps it was an invalid data point in an independent 14,000 card survey. I can say from my experience, though, that several
subjects (e.g. McIntyre, Schlei, Spencer, Wagner, etc.) in this sub-set are considerably more difficult to find than the majority of
the other subjects.
In any event, I've labelled Nicholls as UNCERTAIN on my SWEET CAPORAL 150, Factory 649 list. At the Chicago National this Summer,
I am getting together with an old buddy of mine on a deal, who is bringing his stock of 6,000+ T206's. Many of which are cards with
tougher backs. If this Nicholls card does exist, I expect that he may have one.
