Is the T206 P350 Schulte Scrap or Factory Cut?

I think it is important to keep in mind that the big issue here is not whether or not this particular Schulte card is "factory cut" per se, but whether or not it is scrap (as opposed to being distributed in a pack). There is a subtle difference, which is why the mark at the top and the clipped upper left corner are relevant to the inquiry.

Scot......very astute observations of yours. In my opinion, this PIEDMONT 350 Schulte is not an American Litho. regular production T206 card.

I have been tracking this Schulte pose [along with Ames (hands at chest) and Larry Doyle (throwing)] for the past 6 years, since we started our T206 surveys on Net54.
I've seen several 100's of different cards of Schulte (front view) at shows, on ebay, auctions & pop reports in these 6 years. The majority of them are PIEDMONT 150.
Only about 33 % of them are SWEET CAPORAL 150.....and, a handful of them are SOVEREIGN 150 or brown HINDU cards.

The fact that NO other examples of this card with a PIEDMONT 350 back have surfaced, in these 6 years since I (and others) have searched for them, tells us that this
particular Schulte card is just an anomaly.


Best regards, Scot
