Yet another T207 Anonymous twist/observation.

[frohme]

As seems to be the case of late, there's yet another discovery in the T207 space, and another twist in the T207 (Anonymous) story ... this one helps confirm one of the ideas that's been floated before, though not widely. In short, I noted some time ago (can't find the post now) that the 50 T207 Recruit class cards that could be found with an Anonymous back had - as a general rule - artwork, coloring, and details more similar to all the Broadleaf-class cards than to other Recruit cards (richer colors, insignias & jersey lettering, etc...). No real explanation has been floated, though not much thought has gone in - it was always shrugged off as yet another 'thing that needs explaining' in T207 ... until now, sort of.

Yesterday (3/30) on eBay (thanks for the info Bryan) this Spratt was sold:

Disclaimer - this is not my card - perhaps one of you won it?
 


This is the first time I've seen a mix of Recruit and Broadleaf-class poses on the same card ... I haven't given it too much thought yet (found it last night), but it implies to me that they were being printed at the same time/facility at least, if not on the same sheet. I suspect that this would only be possible with the 50 Anon 3 Recruits. Otherwise, there would have had to have been a (more) major snafu somewhere in the process.

I'll see if I can find the oher published info (to the theory) and link it here ... now we just need an explanation for why some of the cards are found with silver borders, some with grey and some (only) with tan-ish borders...

If any of you that have wrong-backed T207's out there would care to share, that would be great! (especially if the front/back are from different classes)

Thanks.
