Revisiting the T206 Tinker Chicago
I tried searching this site and the net for more info on this variation, and there really isn't much. In 2013, REA auctioned one off in a PSA 2.5 holder and stated that it was the 3rd known copy. All known copies have the Sweet Caporal 150/30 reverse.
I recently picked up a copy that has a slight remnant of "Chicago" in black lettering. My copy also has a SC 150/25 back. You can see it with the naked eye, but I was really hoping I could get a good scan that would bring out the black ink. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I'm very bad with computer stuff, so there may be a way to do it but I don't know how.
Anyway, just wanted to see if there is any new info out there about this variation. Does anyone else have a card like mine that has some remnants of the Chicago? I assume there are plenty out there, given how hard it is to see and how few people would be looking for it. I guess we will probably never find the proof, although that would be incredible.
Below are my attempts at bringing out the black ink. The smallest, lowest resolution scan may be the best unfortunately.
