Scarcity ratio of PIEDMONT 350 and EPDG BACKS FOR ELITE 11

Ok, that's why mine didn't look any different. Both my Old Mill and SC 350/25 have stripes, although they are lighter. Both cards have the "washed out" or "faded" look to them. Maybe you guys just saw some washed out copies and the stripes weren't noticeable? Or maybe the stripes are more prominent on with some backs than others.

Can't get my Old Mill to upload for some reason, but here is the SC 350/25:

Interesting, we'll have to revisit those in more detail.

The lines are very clear on 150's.

I just checked mine, and it's also an SC 350/25 and has no lines. Even under 40X there's no trace of them.
In looking at cards on Ebay, there was one decent scan of a 150 with them, and it didn't seem to have any gray shading on the cap, which mine has.

I'll get a pic of the area, and put it up.

On the plus side, we may learn a bit about the progression, Stronger lines, lighter, maybe from plate wear, then no lines. The gray/no gray would be a change too. And some subset of those cards I think will prove to be a lot less common.
On the down side, this probably eliminates the one clear same subject cutoff between 150 and 350, which complicates things.
Ah well, the monster continues to surprise and confound even where you think you've cornered it.

Here's the one I have.

And the closeup.

Compared to this 150, there are a lot of smaller differences, like the ear being shaded differently.

Steve,
Here are a couple of 350's A Piedmont and a SC350/30 with pretty strong
lines.

Am I seeing the details right? The Piedmont has the gray shading but the SC doesn't? It looks like the Piedmont also has the shading that divides the arm from the green field and the shaded ear while the SC is more like mine.

Obviously that clear 150/350 divide isn't clear at all.

And you know you guys are making me buy a bunch of Conroys just to look for differences?

Haha, sorry to make you buy more T206s Steve!

Here's my Old Mill. The lines are almost gone, but not quite.
