Posted By: <b>SC</b><p>"Probably because sgc does not want to be the first associated with a bogus variation. But that is just a guess. The stamp is under the paper loss which suggests that the stamp was applied before the paper was layered to create the final thickness stock. So the stamp was applied to one layer of paper, then the final layers were applied. The cards were printed and then scrapbook removal reveals a hidden t206 back variation. And there is overlap between the stamp and the real back. Another situation which defies reason. Why people continue to insist that this card is legit is beyond me. "<br /><br />If this was the case, and the stamp was an underprint...why would we see any part of the stamp besides where the paper is missing? For this theory to work, you'd have a stamp printed on the layer of paper underneath the surface. But we shouldn't be able to see the stamp that is in the area showing the Sweet Caporal logo?<br /><br />I can't see how the stamp can be on both layers of the card, unless it was applied post-production.<br /><br />This really doesn't seem that hard.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Dan, I knew you'd come through. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />From one non-carpet guy to the Master, however, I have to ask: is there such a thing as a "new line" in carpet? And where the hell were you when I was carpeting my apartment two years ago? I have at least one red Cobb and any number of 58 Topps cards to send send your way.

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>To me, what the seller thinks he sees and is saying in his sales pitch is nothing but an optical illusion.<br /><br />What I think has happened is that the original lettering was put down in strong, red ink while the "underprint" was put down over that REALLY lightly in black ink. Because the red is SO strong and bold and the black is faint and light, the red ink stands out. So much so that it LOOKS like the red ink is hovering over the black ink.<br /><br />Maybe an artist, photographer or person familiar with optical illusions could comment on my theory.<br /><br />David

Posted By: <b>Dan Koteles</b><p>you need the carpet, you call me with your product and I ship it to the closest distributor in your area. Knowing your address I could have saved you enough to buy 5 Cobbs as I am sure you had gotten the 5th ave hosing. Just for you know what and giggles , email me your product and size (do not want to know price) and I will send you an email of what I would have charged . This is of interest to me because I advertise the lowest price in the state of MIchigan. Surely I would be the lowest price in state of NY with ease.<br /><br />I still want to change that soiled purple carpet above that noone claimed. That is the result of SHOES ON THE RUG !<br /><br />Jeff- how did you get away with the 58 topps here , isnt this a pre war chat board? I will take your 57's though as long as they are sgc 86 and above ! oH and dont forget to include the CObbies.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Kevin Saucier</b><p>Hi all,<br /><br />I have the card in hand and can say without any doubt that the "cigars logo" was printed first and is well under the Sweet Cap. <br /><br />The section of thin paper loss just exposed the logo creating a bolder look. There are small parts of paper loss on the logo as well. <br /><br />It's the real deal and a nice example in my opinion.<br /><br /><br />Kevin<br><br>------------------------------<br /><br /><a href="http://www.AlteredCards.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">www.AlteredCards.com</a> - in-depth education on advanced card doctoring techniques & detection with detailed examples<br /><br />
