The T206 350-Only Series - Some Observations on Available Backs

[jimonym]

Matt,

As Scot mentions, there's pretty solid evidence that Piedmont-brand cards were the first or coincident with the first T206 cards printed in each series. If Demmitt and O'Hara were 350-460 cards we'd expect to find at least some Piedmont-backed examples.

Jamie - that's interesting. I'd still be interested in the comparative PB back numbers I requested as that would seem to me to be more concrete then an assumption that PBs in the 350-460 series were printed after Piedmont backs from the same series, but I do understand your logic.

Hey guys, I'm on vacation, but I have to respond to the "doubting thomas" here.

Scot, please check-out your 14,000 card survey in the 350-only section. If I recall correctly,
the average quantity of the PB cards in that column are very comparable to the quantity of
the St Louis Demmitt and O'Hara cards.

Whereas, the average quantity of PB cards in your 350/460 section is approx. double the ave-
rage quantity that is in the 350-only section.

If this doesn't settle this debate, then I give up !

I'm not doubting, just trying to understand.

Ted,

Interesting point on the PB survey data re Demmitt and O'Hara (St. Louis).
