Could Brown Lenox Be Related To AB 460?

[Pat R]

Now that the auction is over I will re-post some of the information that several people asked to remove.

I believe that all of the 350/460 print group 3 subjects were printed with brown ink only and that any of them in the pop reports listed as black are incorrectly labeled.

The 460 only print group 4 subjects however were printed with both black and brown.

I also want to add that I think it's wrong to create a fake provenance or ownership of any card but especially a card like the Greminger. I know if I owned the Greminger I would want to know the history of the card.

I don't know the exact year but it was originally sold in a Lew Lipset auction many year ago and was purchased by Louis Despres who had it until it was sold in a 2010 REA auction where it was purchased by David Hall who had it until it was sold it in a 2019 Heritage where it was purchased by Ryan who as far as I know still has it.

Incidently, this card was in my collection years ago. I believe Ryan is the current owner now.
