E94 Overprint Research

[brianp-beme]

Not a Your Safe Cuckoo or Opie Dildock collector, but enjoyed the research anyways. Thought I would provide a breakdown of the background colors of the 61 on your list that include this information:

Olive - 13
Blue - 13
Purple - 11
Green - 11
Gold - 9
Red - 4

As can be seen, red is the runt of the litter, with only 4 examples. Any ideas out there on how this list lines up with the color distribution of regular (non-overprint) E94 cards?

Great observation, Brian - I saw the same thing, but wondered if it's just a matter of not having a big enough sample size.
But I definitely did wonder about it, since Tris Speaker is my focal area, and there is one overprint of Speaker in each color, except for red.

Wow, this was an unknowingly lucky buy.

Jay,
Your research is much appreciated. I can add a couple of cards to your list: Jennings (A Base Hit, purple, raw) and Evers (Try Butter Scotch Caramels, green, raw). Also have Magee (Your Out, purple, raw).

Do you have scans of these? I’d love to see them.

Great Cobb Jeff!!...Spec, if you have scans those would be awesome...Jerry

Jeffrey, Jerry,
Sorry. I tried for about an hour to upload scans of the Evers since it has an unusual back overprint. However, Net54 would not accept them, I believe because of size (MBs vs. KBs).
