T206 triple strike/quadruple srtrike?

Hey Leon,

On the backs of uncut finished sheets the back adds would look like a large grid. Several rows and columns. It's likely this large grid was printed all at once, one strike.

If the sheet wasn't aligned properly when the backs were struck they would be offset compared to the front images. When being cut from the front you'd get misaligned backs.

Some were offset enough to show two and sometimes four parts of an add. These are from another column and/or row. 4 corners, 1 strike

The OM has two four corner strikes, one upside down and one upright.

Clear as mud.

Hey Chris
I would greatly enjoy you dissecting my Mullaney the way you did the Old Mill......any chance?

Mike,

As I said to you in my PM I think the numbers of 20-25k are very aggressive and a bit unrealistic and I would caution you to be prepared for a number very much lower than that. As I said my educated guess 5-8.5k. But I guess anything can happen.

Also I won’t be bidding and have no interest in the card short of trying to put you and Jim B together for his Wiliis run. So I’m one guy out of the picture in terms of driving the price up….

Mike also I think it’s time to just pick an auction house or what you want to do privately. I understand you’re excited about the sale and that’s really cool for you.

However to me there’s fine line of using the BST for sales or using the BST/Board for publicity. A hundred threads on how many strikes it has, the folks you have talked too, your market estimates etc. isn’t going to make your card go for more. Not trying to sound mean but if everyone started multiple threads promoting their own items that may go to auction etc. it sort of defeats the purpose of the BST IMO. Perhaps Leon disagrees?

Also as I said I wish you the best with the sale.

Cheers,

John

I agree Mike. This thread was very cool, but if you go with a major AH you won't need more publicity.

By the way, after we know the final sale price of the card, please let us know how much the AH estimated that it might sell for. I would like to know how much they pump up their estimates in order to get consignments.
