How ghosts came to be
Posted By: More about ghosts
It seems to me that there are a few different mechanisms that can create a ghost card. Most of the posted images of a week or so ago were a misapplication of one color layer. These were either the same card, or a different one. These cards would usually end up as scrap rather than issued in error. |

It seems that they usually waited for the fronts to dry, but tended to get in a hurry when it came to the backs. Tolstois and Sweet Caps are the ones I've seen the most of. I would be very interested to see a wet-sheet ad on the front that didn't match the ad on the back! |

How ghosts came to be

Ever since Seth posted the T-206s with ghost images, I have wanted to weigh in on the subject. One of my interests is fine printing, and in that area of my life I make books by hand from hand-set type, printed on a handpress. As a result, I am familiar with the pitfalls of ink, printing presses, etc. |

But they are interesting, rare, people like them, and a market has developed for them. Why try to convince people they should not like something that appeals to them? |

we soemtimes see far from unattractive ghosts, like the simple white background with dark printing card back ( a Piedmont, i think) with a clear, pale recognizable image on it--a sort of 1 1/2 for the price of 1. Neat. If such a card were found with a special relationship of some kind between the front player and the ghost player--pitcher and catcher who worked together, enemies, etc.--. it would be so compelling as to make one wonder if the thing were accidental or intentional. |

I have some nice cards with ghosts on them. If I ever figure out how to post them I will. I have a couple of t206's a strip card and some 52 Topps. Rob |
