Chris,

This is terrific.

Thanks.

Hey Chris,
can you call out which cards you are using in the animation in post #52?

I LOVE these Lash's Bitters cards. I tried to get the Barger when he came up but fell just short.

I wanted to add to this thread the possibility that there were two Lash's sheets and that the cards we have came from both. Schlafly has a misregistration in the gray layer that Nattress appears not to have and also has a much larger blue shift than Nattress. The other misregistrations look more or less consistent to me so I can't help but wonder if Schlafly came from a second sheet.

Bryan there very well could have been two sheets, Barger doesnt quite fit next to Bliss on this sheet but possibly in the same position but lower/higher if a true sheet was 8 T206s tall.

I think you also need to align the Piedmont backs, which I don't think the Maddox does.

Can you look back at my Posts #39 and #40 to see if my assumptions have been overcome by what you've learned since then?

Amazing work Chris,

There are two sheets that indicate a minimum of 11 high and one a minimum of 12 high in the plate scratches so Barger might line up higher or lower somewhere.

This is really great work Chris! It was about 8 or 9 years ago when I first realized I had these t206s with a strange Andy Warhol motif on the back. Freaks were not nearly so popular then and some even told me they were worthless to any "serious" collector. At the time Trae (from this board) helped me figure out that some of them actually fit together and he posted the scans of all of them here on the board for me to get people's reactions (I had never even heard of this board). Trae soon identified the Lash's post card on eBay and figured out that that was the image printed on the back. I am really glad all these years later that people are still interested in these cards and that they are helping smart, computer saavy sleuths like Chris continue to discover new things about this great set which, at age 105+, continues to hold some secrets.

I have sold four of them individually over the years (and know at least two of those were resold) but decided to hold on to the two main groups of three that fit together, and a couple singles. It's nice to see people continue to post and enjoy them.
