T207 Davis - 'C' variations

[Runscott]

Trying to get an idea as to relative population and value of the three variations of the Davis card:

1. white 'C' on cap
2. blue 'C' on cap
3. brown 'C' on cap

Hey Scott,

Others can chime in as well with their opinions which may differ but...

When I was collecting the set, I didn't and still don't consider these to be variations. Just (subtle) printing flaws that create different colors on the C. Not like Lewis with/without an emblem or the Livingston variations for example that actually have something intentionally changed on the uniforms.

I just took note of these variations only to see that my standard catalog (2009 edition) has a statement within the T207 set description about no longer carrying them as a legitimate variation. I was hoping to see examples to judge for myself at this point. I don't personally own any examples yet.

Several years ago I convinced Bob Lemke to delist this and the Carrigan/Wagner wrong back's as "variations". The Davis is purely a result of inking/registration differences and the wrong backs are exactly that, error back of which other full or partial wrong backs exist, but not a part of the set.

Thanks everyone. I know very little about T207's, but acquired a brown 'C' and wasn't sure how to handle it as far as description and price.

Here's 2 of mine. You be the judge...
