E90-1s have plate scratches too!

[tedzan]

Hi Ed

Sorry, that I interjected my opinion. After all the years we have known each other, we have had some meaningful discussions on this Candy set.
But, my post appears to be causing problems; and, possibly alienating our friendship.

But consider this....Including your data (125/4 "scratches") we have a total of 511 samples of E90-1 cards with only 18 examples of "ink streaks".
This results in a mere 3.5 % with this anomaly from this large sample of cards. And it's considerably less percentage than the T206 Piedmont 150
data that Pat has analyzed.
Therefore, the remark by some here...."what difference does it make" what printer (or machinery) was used to produce these E90-1 cards, is very
naïve (if not uninformed).

Anyway, I hope as you do that this survey may provide us some ideas of how the various series of this set were printed (1908 - Summer of 1910).

This is a question you and I and others on this forum have discussed ever since I posted this E90-1 thread in March 2006......

Take care......I am choosing to refrain from any further inputs to this thread.
