Proof? T206 were printed in rows of more than twelve

[atx840]

Hey Scott, unfortunately I don't have back scans of all four. Several of the y/bs have been trimmed since making it difficult to align based on border cuts.

Erick, as a side note I believe the Schlafly aligns to the right of the Rudolph.

I went one more step... I believe it's at least four. As you'll see, for every four T206s, there are three Bitter's trade cards...


Based on the back cuts:
Nattress, Barbeau, Miller, Maddox cards were on line #1
Brashear, Rhodes, Rudolph (a), Schlafly, Barger, Graham, Bliss were on line #2
(no cards on line #3)
Rudolph (b) was on line #4

Very cool thread

here is as far as I got with these previously, definitely requires further investigating.

Thanks Chris... per my note to you, this is what I was doing as well. I need to sit down and take more time to do it, but I believe that the piedmont 350 sheet had five columns (maybe only four) and some multiple of four rows (4, 8 or 12) of the Bitters trade cards. I think this may the missing link to sheet size.

I think your grid may have too much space between the cards; and note that some cards will be cut to different sizes.

Do we know if sheets were cut horizontally first, and then vertically?

Wow this is really cool

Hey Er!ck

If I'm looking at these scans correctly, the Bitters scan has Barbeau on the left and Miller to his right.

My second scan has them the opposite.

Ive re-scaled the PC to the size of the Lash T206 scans. So far I get this.

I independently came up with something very similar... I will post it here shortly. Based on the images, there is a minimum of 14 cards per row, perhaps up to 19.

As an aside, recall that the obak sheet had 21 cards per row.

My spacing and scaling is slightly different, but we are very close:
