New theory regarding the T206 brown LENOX cards....show us some of these rare dudes

[MVSNYC]

Ted, I have a great eye...the Lenox isn't as dark as the Cairo. Perhaps Sean can post a hi-res, non-fuzzy scan, then we can properly compare.

Are you comparing the characters below the brand "LENOX" with the characters below the brand "CAIRO MONOPOL" ?

If not....then you will NOT get an accurate color comparison.

The boldness of the CAIRO MONOPOL lettering (with respect to the LENOX lettering) creates an illusion that it is darker brown.

Sorry Mike, I know that it's not very good, but that's the only scanner that I have.

Sean, no sweat...you have such great cards, might be worth investing $100 in a good scanner.

Ted, yes, I looked at the small type as well. Not as dark on the Lenox.

PS- can you confirm my earlier question, if a player has a Red Hindu back, does that exclude him from having a Brown Hindu back?

Yes, if a player has a Red Hindu, he cannot also have a Brown Hindu back, and vice versa.

Thanks Sean. That's what I figured, just wanted to confirm 100%...I've only been collecting T206 for 25 years, I should know that.

Pardon my nit-picking....but, the term "player" can be misleading.

For example: Walter Johnson can be found with both brown HINDU and red HINDU backs.

The more appropriate term is "subject".

Johnson (portrait) with brown HINDU.

Or, Johnson (pitching) with red HINDU.

Ted, I meant subject.
