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.

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.

Here are the scans of Doyle again, but they don't seem to line up with any of the cards in the pattern so far. The scratch seems to be going in the wrong direction...

[Pat R]

Steve I don't know if you have this one but it has marks going in three
different directions. It is Stone (I have the card if you need a front scan)

[atx840]

Nice Pat, another Stone with a scratch that aligns above.

[Pat R]

Thanks Chris here is the other Stone that goes with it.

I remembered I had won an H&S lot with a lot of P150, most of which I sold. Here are a few scans... I think these are new lines. The graded card is a Bobby Wallace:

[Jantz]

Interesting

Different Durham cards and the scratch is in a different spot.

My Niles has the same marking on the back.

Picked this card up from a board member today (thanx, Larry), thought it may be a fit for this research.

Sorry if pics don't load, terrible at this sort of thing. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make this easier to work with.

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.
