The "Exclusive 12" of the T205 set

[T205 GB]

That's awesome Eric. So far only the SP's are found side by side and looks like the commons may have been printed top to bottom. Any thoughts on that??

Is there any kind of color pattern on the sheets? For instance yellow/reds on one side and blue/greens on the other. In the Titus/Smith example, both cards are reddish/yellow.

Peter

I would say there was a color pattern. And, I tried to illustrate this in my 12-card scan............

It sure appears that way, it would be great to see more examples though. I wish we could tell which card is under that Collins mouth open that Ted has. Collins mouth open is a 6 back sp, found with less backs than a normal common (8-12), but more than others like Chase one ear (3). That's got to play into it somehow too, though idk how...every card, other than the ones with corrected text variations on the backs (Hobby, Gray, Wilhelm, etc) or fronts (Shean, etc) & MLers can be found with Piedmont 25. Maybe they ran off a bunch of Pied25 sheets to start, someone saw the errors & had them corrected for the next run which was Pied25, Hassan30, Cycle. More changes, then a run of 6 backs, Pied25, Pied42, Hassan30, Honest, AB, Polar Bear. Then a final run with all the backs. Does something like that sound viable at all?

Eric anything is possible. I have always been outside the box in saying that the fronts were printed first and then the backs. Also I do think that there were more than one back being printed at once.

It has kinda been proven that these so called SP's with more than 3 backs are nothing more than tougher cards that have been snatched up. When I discussed this before, specifically the K White, there was only a few available but still not unobtainable. Now there seems to be a flood of them available in multiple conditions. Maybe someone could find the SP list thread I made?

I will see if I can find my documents I wrote. I know they are blasphemy to some collectors but who cares. They have some info regarding availability IMO.
