Lenox Brown is a legitimate back so I'm not sure why it shows up in Jay's "BS" tier. Also not sure who "Jay" is and what T206 research he has done. That would be useful to know.

First off, Scot, I owe you an apology. During the episode I believe I attributed your book to Bill Brown. Sorry about that. The book is awesome and I have referred several listeners to it.

I'm not intending to call Lenox Brown an "illegitimate back." Obviously it's a real back. My intent in carving out that tier was to bring backs together that have such low pops and appear with so few fronts that your average set collector, or even back collector can discount them. There are just 17 Lenox Browns directly attributed by PSA. I have seen 1 (maybe 2) change hands this year.

My research centers around comparative scarcity. Cards that are tough with a certain back even if the combination facially looks normal or uninteresting.

I can't argue with this breakdown. I love Brown Hindus, but am always in the market for Sovereigns and Polar Bears because I can actually find them at a reasonable price.

Jay,

Sorry for the late response. Thanks for your timely one. To elaborate, I believe Brown Lenox is a legitimate back since it is (1) factory cut (not hand cut), (2) distinct from other backs (in that the brown ink is truly brown, not black) AND (3) fits a distinct 350/450 subject pattern that confirms it is legitimate.

I don’t personally own any, but have seen a few. I would hate for someone who owns one or more to have their collection devalued on false assumption. Thanks for reading my ebook and good luck with your podcast.

Scot

After listening to the podcast, I don't think someone would misconstrue the Old Mill Brown as being unimportant or not real. I took the conversation to place it more in the "Wildest Dreams" than "Not really real" category. I would certainly be interested however on thoughts about the Old Mill Blue backs found of late. I have never seen a Old Mill Brown and I often look at my Old Mill Backs and wonder how much of a difference is it in person?
