Original 12-card horizontal E91 strip may reveal 1909 printing format

Not sure if it adds much, but attached here is my 13-card strip of E91s. It follows the same layout pattern as the strip shown already, except with 3 copies of the first card at the left end.

And the plot thickens...

I really like watching these threads unfold. It's fun reading all the different perspectives.

Wow. It certainly adds lots of questions to the mix. Did they print them in 2 or more different widths (12, 13, more)? Did they just use whatever width paper they had on hand and repeat groups of 5 and fill in another player on the left as many times as needed? It's interesting that Hartsel is the fill in player on both strips. It certainly seems that every player is double printed if every row follows this pattern. Very interesting.

Ha - apologies for the naive "not sure if it'll add much" comment!

I just poked around - another 13 card strip of different cards was on eBay back in January. Followed the same pattern as mine, with 3 repeating cards on the left end.

What does your 13 card strip measure Scott?

There are many examples of the "12 Factor" in the printing of the T206's. And, here is an example of the 12 Factor in play in the printing of T205's............

I have had it framed but to the best I can tell, it measures about 19.75 inches in length.

Thanks Scott Cool piece. Mile High had this 13 card strip in one of their
auctions.

From the looks of things, I wonder if the strip Ted posted was actually a 13 card strip, and one card was trimmed off the left border. I see how wide the other strips are on the boarder, compared to the one Ted posted. Plus, the 13 card strips start with the first 3 cards being the same, Teds starts with the first 2 being the same (hence why I'm speculating it may be one card short on the left).

Not sure if this helps at all, but here are my strips. Not too close a shot, but here who is pictured:
Top strip 16 cards

Slagle, Schreckengost, Nichols, Slagle, Schreckengost, Nichols, Shulte, Collins, Slagle, Schreckengost, Nicholls, Shulte, Collins, Slagle, Schreckengost, Nichols

Bottom strip 12 cards
Overall, Overall, Evers, Bridwell, Steinfeldt, Taylor, Plank, Evers, Bridwell, Steinfelt, Taylor, Plank

Very nice Anthony, They look really sharp framed.

It looks like they were all over the place with the layouts and possibly
the size of the sheets with these.
