Hope y'all don't mind that I took the liberty of creating a poll on whether or not it's scrap

Thanks for posting the PSA pop report data on these 8 cards. It's interesting to compare the numbers between the PSA and SGC data for the various backs.

Unfortunately, we cannot distinguish the PIEDMONT 150 vs. the PIEDMONT 350 cards from the PSA info.

There is a SOVEREIGN 150 Mullin currently on ebay that also has the " DOT " on it that I think you are alluding to........

Check-it out.

A more meaningful and representative poll would have simply asked these two questions........

Do you think this Schulte card is Hand-Cut ?

Do you think this Schulte card is Factory-Cut ?


I posted this ELITE EIGHT thread in order to stir up some thought-provoking responses regarding these unique 8 cards (9 if you include Lundgren).

But...."A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to this Forum"....this thread was "de-railed" by a frivolous poll.


Anyhow, let's get back on topic here ...... Talkin' T206's ...... is this Schulte card for real, or is it just an anomaly in the world of T206's ?

And if it is for real, where is its EL PRINCIPE DE GALES counterpart ? Until this Schulte is confirmed with the EPDG back, there are at least 4 long-
term T206 collectors who are very skeptical of this PIEDMONT 350 Schulte card as having ever been a standard production card....and, that it was
inserted into a PIEDMONT cigarette pack.

That Schulte card looks to me like a worn factory cut card. I've seen a bunch of white border cards that would have the edges like that. For us to be currently unaware of a EPDG version isn't a reason for me to think that Schulte is hand cut... So I find myself agreeing with Tim, that the Schulte is a factory cut. I think he's right about that.

Seeing "T206Resource.com" in big blue letters in this thread, or any thread, is shameless... ranks up there with the incomplete acknowledgements.

I agree that it looks like a worn factory-cut, but (Ted - sorry to derail slightly) I think a nicely-hand-cut version would have evolved to the same state;e.g-the Plank that everyone but the T206resource.com owners have discussed....due to my "tone".

I'm sorry - it was a dry joke that I didn't feel like telegraphing. But I agree with you again

You can eliminate one Ewing EPDG off the PSA pop report. I have crossed it into a SGC holder.

I don't think that I need to point out that this is a big reason why these pop reports can only being taken with minimal accuracy.
