I have been doing a lot of looking at cards I have owned with particular backs. My primary focus was the backs Piedmont Fact. 42, American Beauty, Cycles, and Broadleafs. I started to notice that cards that had Pied. 42 backs could also be found with an AB back. Cards found only on the Pied. 25 could be found with Cycle backs.


Examples off the top of my head are:

Addie Joss. Pied 25 and Cycle.

Ty Cobb Pied 42. and AB

Hal Chase Left Ear Pied 25 and Cycle

Hal Chase Frame Ends Pied 42 and AB.

Yes some of the cards may also contain Cycle backs that are found with Pied 42 and AB backs. A majority of them also will have BL's. I have only found if the card is present on Pied 42, AB, and Cycle that it also may have the BL match.

Exp. with P25, P42, AB, Cycle, BL

A.Latham
Chase
Phelps
M.Brown

Any of the cards found with these 4 may also have a Drum back. Phelps and Brown are easy examples without thinking to hard.

If the card is found or possibly could be found with a Pied 42, BL, or AB back it WILL NOT be found with a Hindu.


I am interested in seeing what becomes of my theory. Is it gonna sink or float. My luck is its already written in a book and I wasted a bunch of time researching. Anyways I am looking forward to feedback and discussion.
