Working theory: Murad T51 ’number-on-front’ variations

[slightlyrounded]

On second pass - I’m now wondering if the original NOF production date was May 25th (I assume 1909). It certainly appears to say that date under the series 1 info that was glued on top of the writing. Highly speculative on my part, but that would mean that they printed the NOFs for a week and a half.

Someone told me about T51 variations but I hadn't researched until today and found this thread. After reading what I can see here, is it correct that the first series has three variations:
a. College Series 1 to 25 (Number on Front) <-- very rare
b. College Series 1 to 25
c. College Series 1 to 25, 2nd Edition

I didn't even know there were any variations until I found this thread. Which are scarcer, the 2nd Edition or not 2nd Edition? I haven't seen an NOF but I may have missed something in a link above & will check. If someone has a pic they can share, I'd appreciate it.

I have the set complete but may split into 2nd Edition / Not 2nd Edition. Are any particularly tough to find within those groups?

Are there variations in the rest of the set? Thanks for reading and appreciate any responses. -- Steve Rittenberg

Read the article I posted in the link in post 9 here. I ended up selling my top-rated PSA registry set to Dave Lemon a few years back due to the PSA grading incompetence scandal.
Here are images of most of the Number on Front variations.
