New T207 variation confirmed - Clarke with and without sleeve emblem

[SMPEP]

Patrick, are my eyes playing tricks on me?

If I look at the two you just posted and compare with the two Marc posted, it looks like the newer pair has what I'll describe as a partial light gray "B" in that area ... whereas the original two don't seem to have this.

Is this just a picture photo scan issue or are there 4 variations? Of course my eyes playing tricks on me is also another likely explanation!

Cheers,
Patrick

Also, in Patrick's there looks to be a pretty easily seen "B" on his chest (on right side), but in Marc's this appear much fainter.

Is this just a scan issue or something more?

Thanks,
Patrick

Gentleman,

I think you are seeing just the design above and below the shirt pocket.

Turns out I once had the "emblem" version. Never knew about this. Nice discovery, Marc.

I agree with Patrick in that its nothing special

This looks like the effect of updating the card image for the current look of the uniform based on an earlier photo. Cincy's 1911 uniform has an emblem on the chest with the word 'Reds' in it - 1912 does not.



You can see the effect and emblem more clearly on McLean. They did a more thorough job downplaying the emblem on Clarke, both of which were "created" from photos taken in 1911 uniforms.
