Two T206 Questions In One

[Jantz]

Hi z28jd

Nice Payne card!

From all the data I have collected, so far no T206s have appeared with Payne's name on another player's card. I do have a Street (port.) almost like your Payne, where only the black frame line is showing on the bottom of the card. Once the card was in-hand I louped it and could see the dark green/yellow, leading me to believe that a Street (port.) card was also underneath it. I do have a scan of a mis-cut Payne which I will post up for you below.

As far as crop lines, your Nattress is an interesting example. Sullivan also shows these same crop lines in different corners, but no yellow lines on the front. I have 3 Sullivan cards (all Piedmont backs) with crop lines on the back in two (top right & bottom right) different corners. I know of another Sullivan card with a crop line on the back in the bottom right corner. Only difference is that its a Sweet Caporal back.

The yellow lines on the front of T206s have also appeared on other player's cards. I have seen them on a Chase (blue port.) OM back and on a Willis (port.) with a Sweet Caporal back. Of these two, the Willis had the yellow line on the front and a crop line on the back also

Following on the topic of yellow front lines, I recently purchased an Anderson with a black crop line (bottom left corner) on the front of the card. I will post a picture of that with the back information for you below.

Hope this helps

Great information Jantz! I have the Sullivan you're talking about btw(pictured below in case you save the scans for reference), and have him with the Piedmont up top, but I have never seen the same back have two different spots.

You have the Polar Bear with the reverse crop mark, correct?

Interesting that the yellow lines you mention along with mine, are three different brand backs
