Does the black lettering look off on this T206? I am starting to put together a few oversized border T206s and this one popped up. But I am not so sure about that lettering?

Black Lettering
 

The paper stock looks off (too thin?). Here is another one of his listings:

I'm not sure, but the top and bottom borders are huge!

bottom back has the words (a dover reprint) scratched out and a nice little cress across it.

99.99999% positive it's not real. I'd have to see it in hand though.

Now that I was able to enlarge it, 101% reprint. A pretty good one though! The BLACK letter in CARRIGAN, and BOSTON are the give-away.

Thanks guys....guess I should have looked at their other listing too :eek: ....not so good...

In my opinion, the shine from the high gloss showing at the top, uneven cut and print quality is making me think that's a 3 dollar bill.

...and that's what I get when I take an office call and don't refresh before answering. A very late reply, lol.

Still appreciated. You should know better than to take work calls during card talk!!

He had more difficulty obscuring the Dover reprint erasure on his other listing (Arellanes), because he didn't provide a back scan in the listing. :D

There is no Factory data on the Piedmont back provided for Carrigan. The Black is too Black. Bogus.......................

Must have been a trick question, no real T206 has black lettering, the name/team is all part of the brown ink pass :)

I've always loved oversized T206's. Good luck on your quest Leon!

ding dinG DinG DiNG DING!!! :)

Back in black?
 

Not in the AC/DC sense, :D but is it just my eyes, or is that the rare 'Black Piedmont' variety (in addition to everything else already noted)?

Obvious if you read the title of the listing.

Piedmont-cigarettes-baseball-card-Carrigan-Boston-Amer-1909-Reprint

Obvious they changed the title after this thread was posted, if you read the listing. :)

It is obvious now. :)
