Ted ZanidakisI have 2 ORANGE Cobbs: one has a Piedmont (350 Subjects) back,
and the second has a Sweet Caporal (350 Subjects) back. So far,
based on the responses, the only common factor regarding the
backs of this particular color error is the "350 Subjects".
But, my experience with T206 color error cards, is they can be
found without regards to the 16 different tobacco advertising
backs. I've had a YELLOW background Delahanty (normally GREEN)
that was a Tolstoi back. Another color error that I have seen
was a Steinfeldt (normally ORANGE) that was YELLOW.
However, These ORANGE backgound Cobbs appear not be as rare as
we might think; for including the ones posted here, I now can
account for at least 12 of them over the past 20 years.
