New T205 Website with Master Checklist

Ron I think drum was run in less quantity than BL was. If they ran equals then drums and BL would be the same prices

I agree with that but what I was saying is the 20 different cards that have Drum backs also have a Broadleaf card. So say there are 10 or 20 different cards to a sheet, they used the same front plate but changed the back for the Broadleaf run and possibly that same 20 cards have the olive green back and the non Drum Broadleafs are maybe all black backs. I'm just thinking they may have used the same front plate but then they may not have. Just looking for a printing pattern to determine Broadleaf back colors so you can say if a Drum back exists, then the broadleaf back color is olive green and if there is no Drum card, then the Broadleaf has a black back.

Here's a couple more to add.

I see what you are saying. Downey is an Olive back and has a Drum counterpart and Hoblitzell is a Black BL and has a Drum back as well. There is no rhyme or reason with the BL colors and a Drum connection. I think it has to do with distribution areas myself. Ted Z has helped me a bit in this area. Same goes for Hindus. This is research that I am not complete with yet to make a final theory but when I do I hope to share it with the board.


Still haven't heard back as to why the Walsh error is on the checklist as an actual variation. Just curious

I added it for three reasons. First, the description of the card states that there was no staining and that the pink was actually printed. If it was missing a color, I wouldn't have added it. Second, I thought maybe listing it would discover others with the pink diamond. Third, If a yellow elephant is accepted, then a pink diamond should be too. I haven't had any other feedback on the pink variation and can be removed at any time. What does everyone else think?

All the white card stock is pink meaning it is a saturated stain or ink pass. A simple error. The Collins yellow elephant was discovered by Turner and has at least 4 different examples to show, and the yellow is only over the elephants white and none of the other white of the card. Walsh is a simple print anomaly with extra ink no different then the Neal Ball I have missing the red ink. Also not another single card has ever surfaced with pink ink in the white area to even remotely solidify that the card was part of a sheet run.

Good luck with the site, Ron.

Having handled the Walsh I can assure you it was printed that way, no bleed or extra ink. The pink is precisely where the white should have been. Had I not been auctioning the card I would have bought it.
