I was wondering if it would slip through because it was a late addition so it wasn't in the catalog besides a quick mention in the back, but without pictures. It did well, but I think the winner got a good deal based off some previous prices realized.

Since when did bad become good ? .....Hey Frank, since at least the 1970's
 

Here's an eclectic group of "bad" cards (misprints, miscuts, etc.) that have been popular with collectors since I started collecting (since the 1970's).
So, nothing new with this type of collecting interest.....it's been around for a long time and will continue as long as this hobby does.


Circa 1888 color misprint (missing blue ink).

Sean -- I think SGC just wasn't grading with numbers these types of miscuts back then as they do now. Clearly the card isn't hand cut.

This Type-2 makes me think the sheets were setup different from T206s, Doyle appears closer to his neighbour then Murray (not my card) does.

Not prewar baseball but interesting.

Cobb
 

Sort of pre-war

Interesting holder for a blank back.....

Interesting-I wonder if there are any Type-1 frontal miscuts out there?

Sincerely, Clayton

I like how since this topic came up the # of them in the B/S/T section has greatly increased.:D I need to start a thread on low end beat up T210's selling really cheap.LOL

Just added this very tuff 4-back Polar Bear to my miscut collection. Thanks Johnny! Updated grid below...(thanks Chris!)

polar bear is sick! you deserve it :eek::cool:

actually, we are just following stamps and coins in recognizing these types of printing issues. It's a normal evolution.

Frank
 

Hi Frank, I have to agree with you. In my eyes, a severe miscut means the value of a $30 low grade common drops to five bucks.

Shows you what I know!

Rick

Is perhaps indicative of the boredom inherent to collecting T206s. Each to his own.

Hi Ken
I agree with and got a good chuckle outta your comment!
Best to you & the NATS for 2014,
Val

nothing boring....
 

about those beauties mike!:eek:;):cool:

Being collectors we all love to have rare pieces that are one of a kind. Something that no one else in the world has. No two print freaks are the same so if you own one then you have a one of one. Then again everyone has different taste in collecting. I don't see the attraction in collecting paper clips but someone does.

My first PX7 miscut....(these are both the same size otherwise, scans aren't that great)

Great miscut run Michael!

Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria

Got this nice Nolan Ryan miscut in the mail today.

+1 That Polar Bear miscut is awesome Michael!! Congrats!! Beautiful pick up!!

Sincerely, Clayton

Thanks Chris, Johnny & Clayton! you all were a big help.

I found this Clarke portrait with a streaked background in my stash. Its a pretty clean card with no creases or scratches. Could the stripe effect happened during printing? Would this be a rarity? I appreciate insight from the experts.

Wildfire,

You have the rare "rain" version of the Clarke portrait...consider yourself a lucky man :cool:

Cool - anyone have an idea the rarity here or of any recent sales? Thanks for the help.

I think he was teasing.

Here are just a couple from our upcoming Feb/March auction.

Scot....
 

sweet miscuts!:cool:

wildfire-

Clarke is an odd one you have there:confused:......id have to see it in person, but it may be a print anomaly:confused:, may not.....unfortunately, this type of error, if it is a print anomaly, would prob not carry a big premium(unless a collector finds interest);).....more off an oddball type ....if it was missing the color/ different color/ half color/ ect/ ect, would carry a bigger premuim:D

hope this helps :)

peace

johnny

I'm guessing that's a sliver of Collins on the left?

I concur...and this is one time I wish we didn't have the consignment. That thing has my name on it...

Collins indeed, very cool card. I gathered some "freaks" at shows back in the mid-late 80's till early 90's. Then wondered why I had bought them, lol. Been doing pre war portraits since. It may be time to reap the benefits and help with my other sets.

jeff....
 

did you pick up any T206 scraps/freaks?? can you post some if you have 'em??:)

I sold most of my childhood collection while in college (around 1980) but for some reason I kept these. I still remember opening the packs that I found these in.

Working out of town on a big job. [underwater welder], and hope to have our commitment done by mid feb. I will have 5 weeks off after that, and can get some work done in that area. Jeff

Edit: Yes, not all were t206, but a handful are.

oldcardboard-Jeff

please delete "but a handful are" from your post!

Are you trying to give Johnny a heart attack? ;):)

Hey Jeff
 

If your "split-screen" Cobb is unique, then I can provide you it's provenance which dates back to the 1970's.

If you are interested, email me......

:) After a long,stressful day, that made me LOL. Nice! I PM a few guys and Johhny, has a returned PM.

Leon, you're a good man not to bid on your own auctions. Even without your bid that card will hammer at a high price.

Jason, thanks for the image.
