T201 Mecca - Master Set/New Discovery/New Theory

[chlankf]

Cliff was kind enough to reach out to me about his discovery. He offered me the Kling/Cole for my master set. I feel like a 10 year old waiting on Christmas. My wifey is sooo tired of me taking about this card for the last week or so. I am thrilled to be a part of such a great group of people. Cliff 2024 POTUS.

Cliff is a truly good guy. And Craig, you will be in rare company if you can complete a master set! I am still working on a master set. It was never a priority for me, but I am so close.....

Thanks Zach. I have kind of put my master set on the back burner for a while and been picking up T205s. I was somewhat concerned that I would never find these two. I've kept my eyes out for them and if found would put more effort into the master. Now that I am receiving one of the two, I'm refocusing. Good luck on finishing yours Zach.

He has my vote too! Very cool pickup. Have always thought these two cards must be a clue to the sheet layouts, but that there are seemingly only two SP's at random doesn't fit with the other evidence I am aware of.

Thanks Fellas! glad to help out, just paying it forward!

Love the crazy T201 diamond cuts and doubles!

here's a few of my favorites:

two different Laporte/Stephens miscuts and a Foster/Ward split.

Hey all

Since there are a bunch of T201 collectors in this thread, someone probably knows or has a good idea...

Were T201s essentially printed on and cut from strips? I've never seen a top to bottom miscut. Anyone have or seen any? It always seems to be left to right miscuts or diamond cuts, which shows that the left to right cuts were made after folding.

Oldeboo,

I have seen a "4-card" miscut where the card was so severely miscut top to bottom and right to left it had significant portions of 4 cards on it. Unfortunately, I did not buy it or note the 4 players on it.

However, you are right. I've been tracking miscut cards for years and don't often see to to bottom miscut cards.

A pretty nice Kling/Cole F30 sold at auction on Ebay for $214.51 plus tax and shipping

Word must be starting to get out on these!

That Fact 30 Kling/Cole coming home to Iowa and my T201 master set. Paid a lot more than I wanted but only the 4th to pop up. Someone else working on F30 jumped in for sure.
