T206 Demmitt & O'Hara....are they 350-only Series cards ?

[tedzan]

I have enough wood in that shed to last us 100 years. So, drive up with a big truck and haul a ton of it back down
to Florida.
Hey guy, they tell us that the climate is cooling off (even in Florida). All that wood might come in handy this winter.

Ted,

Deal on the trade would you like them to have black bar OP's...I sort of know a guy?

Cheers,

John

I'd prefer a "chartreuse green" overprint on those cards. Can you arrange that ?

It's very interesting....how the prior "naysayers" to Demmitt & O'Hara being in the 350-only series have regressed
back into their hiding places.

Their silence is deafening !

Ted - I thought you didn't want to argue about this so I left you to your wishes. Coming and taunting me is incredibly mature of you.

If you want to continue, I'd be interested to know how big the finds were and how many duplicates (approximately) were in each. Obviously the size of the "finds" we're considering matters for the statistical analysis.

I wasn't specifically addressing you. There were several skeptics....in particular, a Net54 reader who continually emailed me.

My argument with you on this subject is over.....give it up. Wonkaticket's experience is a very valid proof of my contention.
However, in your manner of thinking, I expect that you will consider it an anecdotal "find" that doesn't prove anything.

Well, you don't realize how wrong you are. I've acquired several original T206 collections these past 29 years that I've been
putting together 5 complete sets (- the big 3) and 5 (T-brand) sub-sets. The size of these "finds" have ranged from 200 to
440 cards....and, I have seen certain unmistakable patterns in these T206 finds.

If you were better informed of the 4 successive series that comprise the T206 set, you would not be arguing this point at all.
You see, the 350/460 series subjects are the most prolifically printed T206's with respect to their various T-brand backs. The
61 cards in this series far outnumber the cards of the other three series with respect to their numerous backs. American Litho.
printed these 61 subjects with as many as 24 different tobacco advertising backs.

This fact alone, totally contradicts your suggestion that the St. Louis variations of Demmitt and O'Hara are 350/460 subjects.
Use some common sense, man....they only exist with the POLAR BEAR back.

I suggest you thoroughly read Scot Reader's very informative T206 book. And, if you have read it....then read it again.

Your entire approach to this subject is blurred by your narrow minded zeal to strictly statistically analyze everything. Take it
from a retired Bell Labs EE, who applied statistical analysis many times to design very sophisticated electronic circuitry, there
are more meaningful methods to unraveling the mysteries of the the "T206 Monster".

And, one of those methods is the empirical knowledge gleaned from having looked at 100's of thousands of T206's in one's life-
time.
