Old Mill SL Backs with Overprint Bar Question

[DixieBaseball]

Does a SL Old Mill back with Overprint bar exist ? I think it was determined that the black overprint bars were created a few years ago, but is there a red bar overprint that exist from factory ? The reason I ask, is I was looking through my Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards (Lipset) and noticed that in his pictures of backs, there is a OM with overprint bar on the example page. The book is from 1983, so I was wondering if in fact there may be a OM SL Overprint bar back that might exist. (Thanks, I will hang up and listen)

I believe there are two authentic 649 overprint OM cards, one is the Greminger, the other is the double strike.

Chris - Can you confirm the black ones are fakes ? (Does anyone know if Lipset's OM single overstrike is the Greminger or a 3rd example ?)

The card with 2 Red 649 Overprints is Foster.... It was sold in 1998 by Ron Oser. Be well Brian

The "black" overprints are FAKES.

All T206 overprints were printed with RED ink.......

Sweet Caporal 150 Factory #649 (overprint)

Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory #42 (overprint)


The Brown Old Mill Southern Leaguer's (SL) with the red overprints were simply printer's scrap (as were the Brown Old Mill SL cards).

Thanks Tim for that confirmation. Brian - I appreciate you bringing me in the loop as well ! Ted, thanks for the education and Chris appreciate the scans. Playing a little catch up on some of these oddities.

Appreciate it fellas
