I'm not 100% sure but it's in the right location and looks like the top of a
number and also another 150 subject.

Looks good to me Pat.

Nice find and thank you for posting!

I was looking forward to talking with you at the National this year, but didn't see you all week.

I didn't make it to the national this year Jantz but I enjoyed talking with you
at last years, hopefully we can get together in AC next year if you're going.

I know Cobb bat on is already on the list but there is no pic in this thread. (This one is on Ebay if anyone has been dying to get one).

I picked up this Ames that has a patch of missing ink that the other two Ames posted in this thread also have. The Keeler posted in this thread also has the same exact spot that's missing ink. There are marks on some of the others that could possibly be used to pair up more of these.

That Ames is an amazing card, congrats! And great detective work as well!

Here's another print group 1 subject to add to the list.

So I take it that one possible theory is that if this factory 30 anom sat at the bottom border of the 9th card in; there was a horizontal row of 17 cards, right?

Secondly, if Dooin is the most recent factory 30 anom found, that would make a total of 19 so far.

Does this mean that in Print Group 1 (which had 159 subjects) with some subjects printed dupes and trips; had at least 19 sheets printed??

Take care Charlie

Well, that's not a question that can have a simple yes/no answer.

It's possible the number was in more than one spot on a sheet.
It's also possible the sheets were more than 17 cards wide.
It's possible that some sheets did not have a factory number in the margin.
The art was changed between the 150 and 350 series, making things more involved


Add to that a few more possibilities like complex sheet layouts and the only answer that works is that 19 subjects show a marginal factory number Indicating a possible 19 different sheets.
Of course the 350 series also had art/plate modifications during the overall print run, many cards have differences that indicate at least two or three different printings. (And there may be differences between backs)

Came across this McGraw to add to the list which I believe makes twenty
different subjects found with a Factory #30 so far.

That is a nice looking card.

Good eye Pat!

Thank you for sharing the McGraw.
