[Bridwell]

Nope. Not tired

Kevin, I will re-scan Beaumont and post it tonight. Sorry.

I have a question regarding the Plank missing color: I always assumed that the light blue Plank occured because the printer ran out of blue ink, and that on the next sheet the white Plank was printed. Now I wonder if that is really what happened, because the light blue has a Sweet Cap back, but the white has a Piedmont back.
Could they still have been printed at the same time? Or would these error cards necessarily have occurred at different times? In that case what are the odds that the printers could have run out of blue ink twice at unrelated times while printing Plank, considering that so few Planks were ever produced at all?
I don't know much about the printing process, so maybe some of you who have studied this can help me. Thanks

I don't believe the "light blue" plank is from running out of ink. It received the light blue pass, but is missing the dark blue pass. The SC version may also different from the Piedmont with the "buff" color pass (although tough to tell in some scans). The SC appears to be missing it, while the Piedmont may have it.

Note this Bell card with the light blue and dark blue in the sky; light blue and dark blue are two different/distinct colors:


And notice that the dark blue pass on this Arndt is skewed right, with shows the light blue pass underneath:

Nice Arndt Erick, with that printer line!

I have an Arndt with a printer line, where the top layer blue misses low, so there is a line of light blue going across the top

Kevin, I should be able to scan more, including Beaumont:

[Sean]

Here is Beaumont. I like this one because the "B" on the uniform is missing, not just the background color. Beaumont and Bowerman are the only Boston players pictured in this uniform with the blue collar. I noticed that you have a Bowerman also missing color. I'd like to get one as well, because it goes well with Beaumont.

Many have seen this before but since its a different thread and many new members, heres my only missing ink T206.

[Sean]

Nice Kleinow Ron, but it seems wrong to call him "Red" on that missing color card.

Funny you mention that. I was telling a more modern card collector that I got a T206 Red Kleinow with no red on it and he thought it was missing the first name . I guess I can understand the confusion.
