Considerable progress on the plate scratch sheets

Wow!!! Super impressive research and work on this! 264 card sheet, very interesting. Any thoughts on how "double names" fit into what you have found so far?

Just spectacular work, Pat. If they ever start a collector's hall of fame, you'd have to be a charter member.

Thank You Ed. The Shipke you have for sale on your site is one of the
scratches on this sheet.

Thanks Ronnie, Steve and Jason.

Jason, This is just my opinion but based on what I've seen there is a split
between the 150 series where some sheets were printed with two or three different vertical subjects for that phase and another phase where they
were printed with one vertical subject. I have yet to see a two name
card with a plate scratch.

The 350 series looks like it could have been done the same way or all of them could have been printed with two or three vertical subjects. A big % of
the two name cards are from this series.


It appears that the 460 series were printed with the same vertical subject for the entire sheet for all sheets based on the lack of any confirmed two name cards from this series which makes sense to me because of the smaller
number of subjects compared to the other two series.

Great stuff, Pat.

Your 24 x 11 card sheet (illustrated in post #1) is very impressive.


And, your thinking regarding the 460 series printing coincides with my theory. Especially, as it applies to the Exclusive 12 sheets.

Here is my concept of an Exclusive 12 (460-only series) printed sheet......

Makes sense. I love it!!! Double name with a scratch would be a nice feather in this very cool hat.

Great work as always, Pat. The minutia of the sets keeps it interesting. T206 is the king of that!!
