Posted By: <b>Scott Gross</b><p>I was thumbing through a recent lot purchase of e90's and I came upon this Wallace. Although I'm not a ghost-hunter, I thought is was neat. Then I realized (being as dyslexic as you can get), the ghost was reversed. Having read many treads on this board on "ghosts" I agree most are made from two wet sheets being place on top of each other, or some other print error. BUT, how do you get a reverse ghost ????<br /><br /><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/other/ghwallaceA.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/other/ghwallaceB.jpg"><br /><br />As you can see (imho), it's a normal card (no proof lines, no hand cut, normal ad back, etc.)<br /><br />Thoughts ... Opinions ... Comments ... Answers ??????

Posted By: <b>RC McKenzie</b><p>Hi Scott,<br /><br />I'm working on the e90-1 set too. I saw this post earlier and was waiting for the scans , but I don't see a "ghost" image. Maybe the scanner is not showing it?<br /><br /><br />edited to add.. The back looks like it has minor staining. I guess it could be from another card from another sheet, but it looks like age/wear to me. I dunno.<br /><br /><br />2nd edit... thats the card 'bleeding' thru the paper I think. GL<br /><br />3rd edit- poltergeist, I can't explain it

Posted By: <b>Glenn</b><p>Perhaps I'm missing something, but wouldn't the image have to be reversed if it's a result of the top sheet of cards being laid on top of a wet sheet? I presume both sheets are facing in the same direction.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>it's a wet sheet transfer. The image will always be reversed from a wet sheet transfer.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>If you can sue a band for making you want to commit suicide, can I sue Barry Manilow for turning me into a wuss in the 70s?

Posted By: <b>MyBuddy</b><p>Thanks, Glenn and Jay ...<br /><br />The answer is so simple and common sensed it's mind boggling (even to my mind boggled mind ...)<br /><br />Now I'm off to figure out those darn upside-down Cracker Jacks ... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Scott Gross<br />Haven't decided on card's future, probably hold it for now.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>...the detail in the ghost is too good for it to be explained by a wet sheet transfer? Wet sheet transfers are never even, often splotchy and do not have the kind of detail present here. I agree it explains the reverse image, but it raises questions about detail.

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>Not too much detail for a wet sheet transfer.
