I am new to the forum. How do I post it in the right place?

Thanks.

You could ask Leon to move it, or you could just start a new thread with the same post in the other forum

In 1949, Bowman printed their sheets in 36-card formats. The 7th (last) sheet included only 24 subjects, so they added 12 cards from their early series to fill-out this sheet.
Name boxes were added on their fronts of these re-printed cards and certain re-printed cards' background colors were changed to conform to the design of the 7th sheet.


Here is my concept of how this 7th sheet was formatted. I have numerous (back) overprints which verify the placements of 33 cards on this sheet (Dillinger, Fitzgerald, and
Salkeld card locations are yet unknown).

The " ? " notations indicate unknown card placement.

I refer to these printing errors as "Slates"......

The backgrounds of Snider, Sisler, and Doby are normally YELLOW, and the Campy is ORANGE

I recall the Campanella card selling in one or Mastro's auctions...

Sliphorn,
I believe your photos are the known 6 no name on front / name on front and the known 6 printed name on back / script name on back variations. But I can't see the backs of the last 6 to be sure.
I'd be interested to know if this is correct or have you found other variations, or versions of these variations?
