T206 Survey Piedy 42 Light VS. Dark...

[mrvster]

Hello all.
after chatting with board member , Adam G., we have been wondering about the scarcity of Pied 42 different shaded backs(some piedmont 350-460 Fact 42 N.C. are a darker blue, where some are lighter blue).....

I have been following 42's since "99 and used to think the "darker" ones were 4x rarer than the "lighter ones"



I now see that it looks to be about 50/50......

Lets see those Piedy 42's and lets see which ones are "light" VS. "dark" blue

Johnny,
I'm at 55-45 dark vs light for me.

Hey Johnny,
I've been trying to determine if the Darks and lights were done on purpose for years... I'll post tomorrow when I have time...

Be well Brian


PS You catch one big "Blue" fish and start to wonder....

......reminds me of the known PIEDMONT 460/42 cards in the 460-only series. My list accounts for
the following 12 subjects from this series......

Bergen (catching)
Chase (Trophy)
Latham
Marquard (follow thru)
Merkle (throwing)
Murray (portrait)
Overall (blue sky)
Schlei (portrait)
Schlei (batting)
Schaefer (Washington)
Seymour (portrait)
Wiltse (portrait-cap)


From the 350/460 series, my list accounts for 56 subjects. Tinker (bat off shoulder) is unconfirmed.

Furthermore, the 6 super-prints were also printed with P 460/42 backs, for a total of 62 subjects.


Please confirm (or correct) my list.
Thanks,


TED Z

Here's another....

[mrvster]

what a cache of 42's

btw TREX.....5 to 1 ratios are what I used to see also years ago.....thanks for the input

[Brian Weisner]

Hey Johnny,
Adam and I are trying to bring all of the Piedmont 42's back to NC where they belong.... Be well Brian



PS I wish I had worked on this subset harder... I know one board member who is probably close to completion by now, but he hasn't chimed in yet.

I realize that my small sample is quite anecdotal....but, I really don't see a 50-50 % of light blue vs dark blue.

Perhaps, we should start an on-going survey sampling many inputs from Net54er's on this subject, like we did on this forum years ago.
