Speaking of sheets, I wish there was an intact one to review. I am curious how these cards were arrayed, especially given this: Clearly the same card printed in a line.

Johnson (Green) is also missing the Mecca, No Series notation, Factory 30 card and the Hassann, Series 2 notation, Factory 30 card. It is known with, from series 1: Mecca, Factory 649 (presumably the first one printed, with an error on the back not present on the others) Hassan, Factory 30 Hassan, Factory 649 And from series 2: Mecca, Series 2, Factory 30 Mecca, Series 2, Factory 649 Hassan, no series notation, Factory 30 (differentiated from the first series print run because the image is reversed in the second series cards) Hassan, Series 2, Factory 649 I suspect the Johnson Green was printed on it's own sheet, as its late addition in Series 1 does not seem to have replaced any card or created any shortage (If Johnson replaced Handy, as is often said, then one of the cards or both should be notably tougher with a Mecca 649 back. This is not the case), and it was clearly missing from several back runs. Would explain why this card breaks all the rules without creating double/short prints. The only other rule breakers in the first two series are H.J. Handy not existing with either series 1 Hassan back and Jack Johnson (Blue) may or may not exist with a Hassan, no series notation, Factory 30 back. The larger format cards are usually not miscut enough to see what the adjacent card is side-to-side; I've been looking them for them here, in T29, T30, T118, etc. sized sets from the ATC/American Lithography that share this size format. I have a side-to-side T68 showing two different cards next to each other, but T68's are a bit different size. Perhaps, unlike the smaller size cards that repeated an image in a column (though not all the way down the column), it was rows that repeated a card for part if its length? I've thought the 9 C52 cards from T218 Series 2 that were printed with C52's run of first series T218 cards with duplicate numbers may have constituted a T218/C52 sheet and give us a clue as to how many cards unique cards actually appeared on a sheet. The possible No-Prints of some of the Series 3 track guys with the caption variation might be a clue to into the Series 3 sheet layouts |

I found these 2 Trudenbach's while searching through some stacks today looking for the unknown cards for G1's other thread. Mecca f30 and f649...

Very cool to go digging and find both versions even!

Yeah, thanks, I bought a shoebox collection of track cards hoping to find some Tolstoi cards. I only glanced at the backs and set them aside to look at later. There were about 7 regular Trubenbachs in the group.
Here are 2 new Tolstoi. I'm up to at least 14 now. I have more boxes to look through...

I thought the $61 price tag on a Cloughan error PSA 3 tonight on eBay was interesting. There were really only two bidders over $13, but a stronger price than I was expecting to see. I did have a $30 snipe on the card which never got triggered.
Anyone else here bidding on that one? Thoughts on the $61 final price? Maybe a few more people learning about this card? |

I was the underbidder, I thought you might have been the winner lol. I figured posting about it would cause the price to go up a little, but I'm honestly surprised I lost this time. I've bid several hundred % of the second highest bids on the last few T218 errors. I figure this price is probably more of an anomaly; someone else just really wanted one. The market for these still seems to be incredibly thin. EDIT: Just for frame of reference, I bought a Cloughan on eBay last year for a bid of $32.11. This is the only time, I believe, that the card has transacted publicly in a listing that correctly identified the error. I doubled my bid on this one, but someone else did too. The next one or two might go a bit high as well, but I don't think it will last. The market is very thin for these, with a handful of master set collectors and variation fans that might really care. If I hadn't placed my "overpay" bid, it would have sold for half of what it did. Sorry for driving the price up, to whoever won EDIT 2: Just for tracking, attaching the card image of the PSA 3 that just sold. I believe all the known examples are now posted in this thread: the 3 copies I own and showed, the 2 Scooter729 has and posted, and now this one. This makes a known population of 6 cards so far, all with 649 backs. Would love to see any others you folks may have or know about. I didn't see a second copy until over a decade after acquiring the first one, and now 3 have appeared for public sale in the last 3 years, 2 of which were not identified as a variation by the seller. Interesting how the cycles work with availability. Last edited by G1911; 12-16-2019 at 01:55 AM. |

I'm guessing the population on this card is much higher than the 6 we know about - and if PSA ever started grading the slabs with the variations on these three errors, you'd see a lot more come out of the woodwork. And I would expect the prices to jump then, probably $100+ on Gillis and Cloughan (Trudenbach seems more common).
But for now though, it'll remain a niche item for us T218 master guys.... |

Scooter - I sure hope PSA doesn't start grading them and the registry guys involved, I'd like to be able to keep picking these variations up cheap. Last edited by G1911; 12-16-2019 at 11:16 PM. |

Since this thread has kind of become the hub for T218 discussion, I'll post some of my other oddities, rarities and info here. One of the more interesting cards is a T218 M.J. McGrath with a recurring print defect/variation depending on how you define things.
When I bought the first one, I thought it was a one of a kind card, not a printing variation, but just the result of someone at the factory handling a still wet sheet before it dried. Then I found a second card, both with the same back (Mecca, Factory 30). I now think there was probably some dust/dirt/debris/something else obscuring part of the printing plate, resulting in the smudge look. I'd think there are probably several more out there, but have never seen besides the two I have. I'd love to know if any of you have this variant, or another card with the same issue. There's a lot of oddities shared in this thread: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=251642 |
