T206 Marquard "White Lines"

[B O'Brien]

Hi Scot,
I always noticed the lines on mine, but have never seen another EPDG, so didn't put it together.
Here is a scan of mine.

Old Mill (no longer own):


SC 150,25 (no longer own):

[GoldenAge50s]

Doesn't this prove there was a separate printing just for EPDG, or have we always known there was? (Trying to learn!)

[White Borders]

This one is a Piedmont 150 with the white lines (ignore the black lines - they're from the scanner).

I also have a Piedmont 350 without the white lines.

Best Regards,

I actually have a Marquard recently back from SGC to check out, but I haven't opened the box yet.

Anyhow, I guess my ? in post 4 is now moot.

Comma on the jersey (Portrait), red 8 in the armpit (Throwing), white lines in the sky (HAS)... man, Marquard was one printing anomaly prone T206!

[White Borders]

I'll propose that Marquard Hands at Thighs will have the white lines for Brown Hindu, P150, SOV150, SC150 F25/30/649, and EPDG back.

And it will not have white lines for P350, OM, SC350 F30 backs. (And if it exists with SOV350 or SC350 F25 backs, it will not have white lines.)

(According to Ted Z's survey, Marquard Hands at Thighs does exist with a SOV350 back. According to Tim C's survey, it does not exist with a SC350 F25 back.)

Best Regards,
Craig

My Marquard is a P150. So you are saying it will DEFINITELY have the white lines?

Hey Fred,

I think it will, but we won't know for sure until you tell us

Best Regards,

Craig,
My SC 150, 25 above does not have the lines and OM does not.

Bobby, thanks a lot for shooting down my theory in like five minutes!

My thinking was that since Marquard Hands at Thighs is a 150-350 series, the 150's + EPDG would have the lines and the 350's would not. Oh well.

Best Regards,
Craig

One question. While these lines apparently appear on all cards of certain backs, while seemingly not at all in others, and considering the way all the t206 brands are lumped into one big bunch, shouldn't this be noted as a separate variation?

I could see not even bothering to mention it if each brand were considered it's own issue. But since they're not, then it would make sense that this need mentioned and listed as it's own card.

I say, bump the master set up 1 card. We should do a poll on this.

Thanks to all who have responded so far. Maybe this is another Ritchey Dove/No Dove situation--although Craig yours is the first non-EPDG I have seen with the lines.

Craig,

I will differ from you a bit. I will guess that a small % of Piedmont 150s, a small % of Piedmont 350s and all EPDGs will show the lines, but that the other backs will not--the reason being that the lines are a print flaw that first appeared at the very end of the 150 print run and lasted until the early stages of the 350 print run when the 150/350 subjects were printed with EPDG.
