This is just my opinion but I've said it before that I think there were several stages of printing in each print group and I think one of the stages involvedaround 25-30% of the Old Mill and Sweet Caporal 350/30, 50-75% of the Sweet Caporal 350 factory 25's and around 5-10% of the Piedmont 350's. Both Barry's are unconfirmed Old Mills and I think they weren't in that print stage and that's the reason for their low Sweet Caporal numbers.

Great info Pat. That is sometimes the only way to break the print groups into sub print groups or possible sheets. I used a few ways to break down the 460 series cards. 350 series cards are a bit more tricky but not impossible. With some exceptions though, which will be found out as this Sweet Caporal breakdown continues. Then another secret will be revealed.

23. Batch (Print Group 2)



Batch's Factory 25 percentage appears to be lower than the PSA estimates. Only SGC graded copies and no Factory 25s that I could see (2 that were just too blurry to read). Lots of "T206" labels for Batch, but most of them were Piedmont 350s, unfortunately.

Also, just a record keeping note, we obviously skipped from 21 (Barry) to 23 (Batch) because 22 (Bastian) is a SLer and they have no SweetCaps, so I will just be skipping every SLer (and Demmitt/O'Hara STL variations, since they have no SweetCaps)
