T206 JACK DUNN....Babe Ruth's 1st manager

Ted,
There have been many cards that have been listed as 150 only that have been found in the 350...in fact Lipsets book didn't even mention the Ames hands at chest back in the day it listed just 10 cards as 150 only.

I stand by the fact that I think many of the cards that are thought to be 150 only cards may have been in fact printed in the 350 we just haven't found them or they have been lost to time due to being printed in such short numbers. That’s why I’m always looking for them.

Hence Lindaman and many of the 150 series tough cards that you and I have been buying in the 350 series variety were once thought only to be in the 150.

Ted my point is simple I’m not debating if Dunn is vertical or horizontal I agree with Paul M it’s art everyone will have their own take.

My point is as much as I love you and I do guy... but sometimes you come off a bit like the self appointed T206 God what you say is final on T206. Which is cool you know a lot but nobody is a true expert on these cards the t206 set has all sorts of surprises and nuances that we will never really figure it out 100%.

So my theory that we may find 150 only series cards with 350 backs someday or that they may in fact have been printed at one time is no different or any less educated a theory than any of your printing or American Caramel exclusive stuff both very hard to prove without evidence, but both made with educated assumptions.

And for you to call anyone stupid or uninformed isn’t productive per say, because as I proved to you with the Plank card even someone with your knowledge can get it wrong when it comes to T206.

Cheers,

John
