I wonder if James Maxwell feels any exhuberance in the plethora of micro T206 dash, dots, shadows and maladies of todays T206's. He was a man before his time.

And for you T206 collectors not familiar with him, Do your homework!

I was thinking about James Maxwell just yesterday...wishing I still had some of their auction mailings...a seemingly endless flood of t206's...proofs...rare backs...top grade...you name it!!!!!!

I owned that E90-2 Clarke Leon posted back in the mid-90s, it's like seeing an old friend again!

Not a T206 or a miscut, but in the same neighborhood. Obak triple strike.

Dang Packs! Sweet card.

we'll take those
 

Impossible multi strikes!:D

SICK card

Thanks guys. It was a nice find and even better I got it in person at a card show today here in the Bay Area. It was in a stack of Obaks and I always make sure to check the backs. This time it paid off.

I can't tell if it's two or three strikes. I see three T's in Cigarettes. But mostly two of everything else. Weird card.

Awesome card packs!!!

Great score- nice job. I believe that is a double strike. I think it appears in certain places to be triple, but it's like an optical illusion :D I'd feel confident in saying it's a double strike though.

Not that it matters, beautiful card and excellent find!!! Thanks for showing that-

Sincerely, Clayton

Great card! It's a double strike, the T's are double, not triple.

But either way, super Multi-strike

Was looking thru this thread again, great cards!

Jim/Sean- i noticed a discussion early in the thread about light vs. dark P42's...the P42 i have is the darkest one i've ever seen. all others i've seen or owned have been lighter, and obviously many of them have the OC to the right. i assume the darker version is less common?

Another non T206

I could not agree more. I own two, and both have that light blue ink. Great Schlei!

Mike, I'm not sure. I have two: one has light blue and the other is darker.

I've never seen totals for how many are light or dark. Maybe Johnny can help with this question.

Piedy 42's
 

Hey Guys:)

I have been debating this for a while......I used to think the darker ones were rarer.....now i'm not sure...

I really want to do comparisons of light and dark with the same player....

for example.....does schlei have the dark and the light version???:confused:;)

205's

SB1 - Scott I'm pretty sure James Maxwell and Virginia Caputo(?) are still alive and well. Occasionally I see something that THEY list on Feebay. Interesting people and EVERY card JM had for sale was A VARIATION/ERROR.....

Going through my collection recently and thought that this card fit the criteria for this thread "Impossible back miscuts"

Considering that the back isn't just miscut, but it is a back from another set and upside down:

Menagerie Lobert E92 (mislabeled as e102)

Scrap miscut....
 

Now that's a beauty:eek:

Here's my Snodgrass

Waz, you own a factory 42? Man oh man, that is a seriously good looking example!

Yessir. It went undetected last year and I found it! It's a beauty, although it is graded authentic because it has been trimmed. I really don't care though because it looks mint. Thanks!

Nice going Waz. That's how I got my Merkle Pied 42. The seller didn't notice it and neither did I until it arrived. :D

That's sweet! Gotta love those Piedmont 42s. The fun is with the quest of finding them, because they're quite scarce IMO.

waz!!!
 

Wow! you did awesome!:D


hope you are great my friend:)

Elberfeld up and over and a Howell left-right that is the most extreme L-R T206 shift that I can find.

Croft's Oddity
 

Here's an E92 Croft's oddity. The back features an upside down split advertising Croft's design. What's extra cool about this card though is that there is also some upside down split reverse ghosting appearing in both left and right margins on the front. And the ghost images appear to correspond exactly on the front as they appear on back. So there must have been a card with an identically freaky error-back on top of this card that caused the wet transfer.

Great card, wonder if several sheets were printed, front first then the incorrectly aligned/inverted when printing the back causing the misprinted WST then cut based on the front.

Rob

Thanks for reopening the thread. Cool card.
