Piedmont 350-460 Factory 42 Color Survey

[Abravefan11]

I'm trying to gather any information I can regarding the two different shades of blue used to print the Piedmont 350-460 Factory 42 backs. I believe there could be some good information to be learned but more data is needed to be sure.

Anything shared is appreciated and please let me know which subject and which blue you have, light or dark. If you're not sure and can post a scan that would also be helpful.

Tim,

Picked up my first via REA (an oversight I'm sure). It was the light blue print almost the shady look. On my way to Chicago now but will scan on tuesday night.

GREAT SURVEY!!!! i always wondered this.....Jim R can have some great input here...this is a rare back i love to collect....most are light blue, i look for this back, only a few are dark blue, i beleive i only have 1 dark blue(manning).....10 total= 9 light 1 dark blue(i might be wrong since i don't have my cards with me please bear with me)

i only have real terrible scans since i don't have my cards with me, but from my list:



LIGHT BLUE:


(2) McQuillen- batting
(1) Jordan- batting
(1) Rucker- throwing
(2) sweeney-batting
(1) Ruelbach-throwing
(1) Griffith- batting (SPLIT BACK)
(1) Ames- hands over head

Tim,
Here is my Crawford (with bat). The registration is light but the ink color is definitely dark.

Tim,

Great thread.

I own the following:

Ames (Hands Above Head) - Light
Bender (No Trees) - Dark
Snodgrass (Catching) - Light

Looks like the Bender (No Trees) is one that has both light and dark blue backs.
