Cool T206 printing hint from ebay

[Archive]

Hi again!

I know in the past (on the old board, sigh...) we talked occasionally about the T206 printing process. I know sometimes we find off-center cards with a name on TOP of a card, but usually it's the same player's name, isn't it? correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyway, here's one that just ended on ebay that, while it doens't have a name on top, it clearly has the yellow COLORS from a DIFFERENT card on the bottom:

It has to be from a different card, doesn't it? It's yellow, while the Shipke is blue to the top. Thought this might add something to what we know about how the cards were manufactured...

Does anyone else have a card like this? Maybe it's not as uncommon as I thought. I tried to get it but got sniped at the last second (after sniping various auctions from the same seller myself). Que sera sera...

(ps if anyone has one like this in similar cruddy condition I'd be interested...worth a shot)
