Default t206 printing

Posted By: Ted Zanidakisc

JimB,

I can vouch that 8 of the 12 ORANGE Cobbs that I have seen in
the past 20 years are from "350 Subjects" (Piedmont, Sweet
Caporal, Sov., etc.) The other 4, I do not recall their backs.
It was too long ago and too many cards since.

And, indeed R.Ellingsen's card is not a 350 Subjects back.
I am not saying that we draw any definite conclusions from my
anectdotal experience. T206 color errors can be found on any
of the 500+ cards in this set, and irregardless of their
Tobacco Co. affiliation.

Of course the Cobb card stands out above the rest. Conceivably
there could be a YELLOW Wagner somewhere out there ! As normal
ORANGE colored cards in this set have already been found with
YELLOW backgrounds.
