Could Brown Lenox Be Related To AB 460?

[tedzan]

Back in July 2017, I posted my theory regarding the Brown LENOX phenomena. And this is it, Check-it-out......


The timeline of the printing of these Group B subjects was with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460, LENOX, and UZIT cards was Jan - Feb 1911. This exact timeline coincides with the
printing of the T80 (Military Men) cards. Shown below, the T80 cards were printed with CAIRO MONOPOL, LENOX, OLD MILL, TOLSTOI, and UZIT backs.

To date, 25 brown LENOX cards are confirmed. If my theory proves true, I predict that 11 (or 12) more T206 cards may eventually be discovered with the brown LENOX backs.
Exactly 19 subjects of the 25 brown LENOX cards are from the 350/460 series, and 6 subjects are from the 460-only series......


350/460 series....Group B



Brown LENOX......a total of 25 (or 26) subjects have been confirmed.


350/460 series.....19 (or 20) subjects confirmed with brown LENOX backs

Bradley (bat)
Burch (fielding)
Cobb (bat off shoulder)
Conroy (bat)
Crawford (bat)
Jennings (one hand)
Jordan (bat)
Lajoie (bat)
Lake (no ball)
Leach (cap)
Leifield (bat)
Manning (pitching)
McQuillan (bat)
Overall (yellow sky)
Pfeister (throwing)
F. Smith (Chicago & Boston)
Tinker (bat off shoulder) ..................remains to be seen ?
Wagner (bat on right shoulder)
Willetts
Willis (bat)



T80 cards




So, here is my hypothesis: The printer at American Lithographic failed to switch from the brown ink after press runs of T80 CAIRO MONOPOL backs to black ink prior to starting
a press run of T206 LENOX backs. Apparently, this mistake was caught quickly, which would explain why very few T206 brown LENOX examples exist.
Instead of QA discarding these brown LENOX cards, the sheets were factory-cut, and these brown LENOX cards were shipped along with the black LENOX cards to Factory #30.
And, inserted into LENOX cigarette packs.


The 6 brown LENOX cards from the 460-only series are from the same group of 9 subjects that are the only confirmed PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 cards in this series.

I expect these 3 subjects from the 460-only series will eventually be found with brown LENOX backs......

Furthermore......

Since my above stated theory (circa 2017), I'm batting 1.000. Approx. 7 (or 8) new Brown LENOX cards have been discovered....all of which having conformed to my theory.

NOTE....74 T206's in the set were printed with the AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back, however only these 28 guys from the [B]350/460 series are printed with the AB 460 back.

350/460 series....Group B (AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 cards). The remaining 46 are from the 460-only series.
