SC 150/649 Opposite Sheet Matches

[steve B]

I suspect you'll find a few more with three different on the plate scratches.

In complex terms, the sheet that was used for the SC 150/649s also got at least a few P150 backs, while other sheets that got P150 backs with the scratch were earlier but didn't last into SC150/649 production.

How many with three different fronts should give another clue to sheet size, and at the same time narrow down the sheet composition for at least one sheet.

There's a few interesting questions with the SC150/649s, a couple of them don't match the rest as far as what backs are verified (Last I checked, I still need to check the more recent lists) So the question there is if the sheet carried over to the generic backs, or if new layouts were done with the same art, or if as happened with at least a couple cards the 350 backs have fronts that differ from the 150 version.

The stuff Pat is doing could also eventually show the difference between cards as packed for the Philadelphia area or "other than Philadelphia area" as the packing log showed. The could/should be minor differences in fronts within the 150 series. Very minor ones, but differences all the same.

Pat, As a T206 collector for more than thirty years, I would just like to say thank-you for this groundbreaking research (and the other backs your doing). I look forward to when you puzzle together a full sheet for collectors to see.

Thank you for the kind words Ronnie and Leon.

Here's a different mark that also pairs up Mathewson and George Davis.

Pat,

I have 32 of the 34 (missing Bates and Gilbert, if someone has any laying around ) ....................

................. absolutely nothing. Just like my Polar Bears, all backs are perfectly normal ........


I reiterate what others have said: Unreal work, fascinating and appreciated !!!

Hopefully, I'll find something someday for you.


Great, Scott

Thank you for checking your 649's Scott.

Good luck with the Bates and Gilbert. I would be happy to help you out
if I could. I do have a Bates but it's a double name card that I really like.

It also has a distinctive mark on the back that I haven't paired up yet.

Here's what I have so far for the two SC150/649 sheets. The top one
is the first sheet based on the PD150 plate scratches and the bottom
is what I have so far for the second sheet from matching the
649 flaws with subjects from the top sheet. The Mathewson is a ?
for the reasons stated earlier in this thread but it definitely shares
the same 649 flaw with George Davis.

That Bates is way to nice for me !!!!!!

Sweet card.

Also checked for the "new" lower right mark, nothing......

Fun, Scott
