Lundgren Variation... (LUl.DGREN)

[Blunder19]

Just wondering why this card is not considered to be a variation like the "Noodgrass"..

All thoughts are welcome... and if you have an example please post a pic..


Happy 4th of July Everyone.

Hi, Jamie,

Based on your photo of the Lundgren it appears that the down-stroke and corresponding upstroke on the -N has worn away. As such, I don't see how it would qualify as a variant. I have seen cards in my collecting experience where there is evidence of similar wear to a player's name.

Happy Fourth to you and everyone else!

Cheers, Mike

Hello Jamie,

Here is my example of the partial "N" (Piedmont 150), plus a Lundgren without the partial "N" (tougher Piedmont 350). Whether it is a variation or not is for others to debate, but since I have one..........I'm calling it a variation along the same lines of the partial "S" in Nodgrass. The "N" stroke has not worn away, it simply is not there. Jamie actually pointed-out the partial "N" Lundgren in a prior thread a few years back and ever since then I've been looking for another. I've found one more (in an eBay auction about a year ago) but past on pulling the snipe trigger.

Are there any P150s that do not have the partial 'N'?

I've mentioned another possible variation before, but never really pushed it, because I thought it was just exclusive to certain backs...BUT there's two on ebay right now, that show the variation existing even among the same back.

Both of these Wilson's have the Piedmont 350 back. While showing both variations in the red/orange burst in the background..

By that same thought, is this partial N exclusive to the Piedmont 150's, and is there complete N versions within the Piedmont 150's?
