Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress

I agree about the Warhop, the back scan shows a pin hole that the front doesnt have. Can't be the correct back scan for that particular card.

[Jobu]

Sorry guys, usually I pay more attention to detail than that - you are both correct. The Warhop is from a scan where the seller apparently rearranged the order of the cards when showing the backs (which I never understand; btw it is that same Crandall portrait) while the Keeler does look like the crease on the back. A cautionary tale against posting detail-oriented stuff when tired I guess. I am going to remove both from my post to avoid confusion.

No big deal Brian you're an asset to the forum and your posts are helpful
and informative.

If I have your question right it's a different Crandall.

BTW the Chase you posted is a match to the Sullivan scratch.

This probably doesn't belong here, being a 350 series. I'm not even sure it would be considered a scratch. Maybe just a printing error. But it is unique enough, I think, that it probably could be matched up with other cards.

BTW, unreal research going on here.

It still blows my mind, with the tens of thousands of sheets printed, not one is known to survive. But, I guess, that's what makes it fun !!!

Switching off the main track to a side-track, have you guys explored other PIEDMONT series cards ?

For example, besides the wet sheet transfer (speckled red), my PIEDMONT 460 red Cobb has a plate scratch mark in the lower right corner.

Hi Ted,

I have seen a few in the 350 series but nothing like the 150's. I lost most
of my data when my computer died around a month ago but there are about
250 different scratches on 105 (could be more but I have to re-do the list)
of the 156 PD 150 subjects, some have multiple scratches in different locations on the same subject for instance Young (Bare Hand) has six different scratches).

Your red Cobb looks like purple ink from the star stamp and not a scratch
to me.

Better scans of the six Young (BH) scratches.

Sorry, but I have to differ with you. The scratch line on my Cobb starts above the "V" (VA) and continues up to the "Y" (QUALITY). This line
traverses a path that is virtually identical to the scratch on your Cy Young depicted in Post #178 (lowermost right Piedmont 150 back scan).

Yes, there is a hint of purple ink in the scratch on my Cobb that most likely migrated from the stamp.

I think that's just ink from the back stamp and not a plate scratch
