The mystique of the SOVEREIGN 350 "apple green" cards......Show us your green apples

[tedzan]

The list I posted in Post #8 applies strictly to the 350-only Series cards.

The Liebhardt card is in the 150/350 Series. In this series there are approx. 80 subjects that were printed with both the SOVEREIGN 150
and SOVEREIGN 350 "forest green" backs.

My one and only Green Apple, Od Cy. I only collect mid tier and up Hallers and there are not many cards in the Apple subjects that come into play for me. Thanks. I would also like to Thank Ted for all his great info on all the backs throughout the years.

Ha, Ted. I am sure you have touched on it before, but I was curious as to why in all the Green apples their are only three portraits and the rest action shots, and those three happen to be Super Prints. Do you have any theories on this. Thanks again. Dennis.

I'm glad you asked............

1st....my theory regarding why all 60 of these guys are action poses is that these cards were designed and printed at the tail-end of the 350 Series run ..Circa Summer/Fall of 1910.
Remember, American Litho. had printed the portraits of the majority of these guys in their 150 Series and the earlier printings of the 350 Series.

2nd....the 6 super-prints were originally printed in one of the very early press runs of the 350 Series; therefore, Chance, Chase, and Cobb are portrait poses. And, of course, Evers
and Matty portraits were portrayed in the 150 Series.

And then, American Litho. chose to re-print these 6 guys in this group of 66 subjects.
