Thanks Scot!

Just adding a Criger since it was brought up, for comparison purposes:

Hi Scot

Here are a few more for you. These are cards that I own.

Stovall (port.)

Sweet Caporal 150/30 - Gray
Piedmont 150 - Gray
Sovereign 150 - Gray
Piedmont 350 - Brown

Turner

Piedmont 150 - Gray

I have two more Turners and they look similar to the Turner that you posted where his jersey looks more brown at the shoulders and has areas of blue ink added near the bottom of his image. The backs on those two are.

Piedmont 150
Piedmont 350

I would also like to add that I bought these two Turners for a reason. They both have a crop line in the upper left corner on the obverse. These are the first examples I've seen where a crop line crosses over into another series.

If you need scans, just let me know and I'll post them up.

Thanks Jason and Jantz.

Jantz--Would like to see a scan of your "brownish" Turner 150 if possible. I was under the impression that all Stovall and Turner 150s are gray.

I don't personally drill down to too much micro-minutia in very many sets but it is nice to see, hear and analyze. Since many of us collect our cards based on aesthetics it is fun to ponder how they got that way. Good info, guys. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Leon, I agree its neat as you collect a good amount of something the little things you begin to pick up on in terms of how one card design can be so different from others.



Cheers,

Leon,
Thanks for your words of support [or at least tolerance ] for what is freely acknowledged as T206 minutia.

John,
