Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress

[dougscats]

Does this qualify as a scratch, or is it some other kind of mark?

I hope it shows up in the scan--two fine, parallel lines running from top to bottom, about a third of the way in--

I'm pretty sure it's the same blue ink that's composes the Piedmont back.

Nice card and thank you for posting it.

Not a fluke. If you hop on Ebay right now, almost every Hannifan Piedmont 350 up for auction has these same lines on the back.

Really cool thread that I wish I had seen much sooner and posted on.

I guess I've tried to avoid T206 threads since selling my near set of 518 a few years back so as to not get seduced by the monster yet again.

I went back to the images of my set and found that I have two examples that I can share.

Frank "Wildfire" Schulte (Batting) - The plate line runs through the "i" in series down through the "n" in Piedmont





Jimmy Williams - The plate line runs through the "P" in Piedmont down through to the left of the factory designation

Thanks for posting those Scott. Schulte is one of the subjects that has a three
card vertical scratch (there's also a fourth Schulte with a horizontal scratch).

For anyone who's interested Here's an album of all the plate scratches I have
documented so far. There are some changes and quite a few additions I need
to make with the sheets, they haven't been updated in quite awhile. If you choose the "original" option they are the largest scans for most of the images.

A handful of the scratches aren't true plate scratches but I put them in
because they could be informative.

Great work Pat! I just looked at a couple that I have been meaning to post, but they are already represented.

Pat, thank you for posting the link so I can check whether or not I have found something new. I believe I have two new additions (posted here) and a few other repeats. I will email better scans of all of them to you and post the new guys here for the record.
