Interesting thread!

I'll keep the scans coming if you want me to. Heres a few more.

The Seymour and Criss pairing is pretty amazing.

I have to say that I find this MUCH more persuasive than theories of sheets. It is almost like the scratched plate is the T206 Rosetta Stone!

I will forever now be obsessed with finding P150s with scratched on them. If only I had paid more attention when I built my Momster a few years ago. The SGC 10 Magie above was once mine, and I never even bothered to look at the back much. Was too focused on the "i"

Great work! Please keep it up!

Have there been any known plates to exist that have survived?

Not for T206. If there were any survivors we'd have fewer discussions about sheet size. And probably more about exact sheet layouts.

The plates were most likely the stone versions, which normally got resurfaced and reused as soon as the job was done or they became too worn.

Similar to this Steve?

Here are a couple of scans that I think help support Steves theory that
Cobb and Durham were next to each other on a sheet. Two different scans
of Cobb and durham that seem to line up and a Durham that might fit in
under the one next to Cobb.

Thanks Pat! That seems to really fit. I can't wait to see more scans. This is getting exciting. The way that one hooks left right at the bottom makes it match the one Jantz and t206hound have shown.

That one also appears on Oldring. So it might be Oldring next to Cobb. But I'll go with Durham for now.

Yes, very similar. That one was probably used to make the transfers to lay out the plates for the stuff on it. It's amazing it survived at all. There are a few available on Ebay with non-card content.

Thanks Jantz,

I have both of those, but those are better scans. Keep em coming, even duplicates are good.

Front scans would also be a bit of help. The next step is comparing fronts to see if they're always the same for each back. Different ones would show the same subject being in the same spot on more than one sheet. That's obviously a much bigger project.
