T3 Hal Chase Proof -- but look at the back

[calvindog]

Like manna from heaven this item dropped into my hands today. And just a few days ago at the National I was discussing the whereabouts of this particular proof with another collector. While this was sold at auction a few years ago, the description did not mention the ghost image on the back -- of Red Kleinow with his hands on his knees with catcher gear on. Pretty damn cool card.

Awesome pick-up.
I'd want to display that with the back facing out but would be afraid of it fading further. A nice problem to have nonetheless.

Very very cool! What did that run you Jeff about $32? :)

[aquarius31]

Jeff, that is absolutely amazing...great pickup! I guess ghosts of other players are no longer reserved for T206 :D

Very cool Jeff, another top notch piece to your collection.

Side note, a new T206 back ghost was found at the National.

[Runscott]

Very nice pick-up.

Plus, looks like a cross-hatch at the top of the Kleinow image - perhaps originally a group of stacked proofs?

[Al C.risafulli]

Wow, Jeffrey, that's an outstanding piece.

Nice pickup.

Sort of makes you wonder what Kleinow was doing to Chase.

[Bicem]

Great pickup, I think a few T3 proofs may have ghost images.

It's either the Matty or Johnson that has a ghost of Cy Young on the back.

Sweet proof, congrats Jeff!

imho, This is the most interesting piece that i have seen in quite some time! Others have come up with some really cool stuff...

"BUT A PROOF WITH A GHOST IMAGE ON THE BACK!? AND A "T3" TA BOOT!?

Truly Smokin' Man!!!

I'm trying to figure out how the image got reversed. I wonder if there's a Kleinow proof with a reversed image that later was corrected.

isn't it just from the transfer of the image?

[atx840]

Looks like the Joss and several others have ghosts as well, however the Chance is very clear but does not appear to be a direct print but some sort of stacked transfer maybe:confused:
