Nice Bryan!

Quite a lot going on with that card.

Yellow ghost on back
Multiple color shifts on the front
Additional background shade possibly from another card on the front
Hand-cut borders

Cool card indeed!

Red ink was usually last applied in the 6-color printing process of the T206's....and, this M. Brown card is certainly evidence of this.

My favorite 206 shift in my collection -

I picked up this Willett. This is the seventh different one that I know of
so there must have been quite a few sheets printed with whatever caused the
damage.

Looks like the outline of a cotter pin

missing ink

It's actually a nail. And those are very cool cards, because they're proof the set was printed on a flatbed press that was printing from stones. I think I had a pretty involved post about it a while ago. It may have been a PM.

Multiple errors on this freak

Chuck you're doing some great work lately, holy crap.

here's one for you...

Trimmed or sheet cut?
 

I'm bumping this thread with a recent impulse pickup that I made. I can't tell if this Dougherty portrait is a card that was trimmed after it was distributed or if it was hand cut from a sheet and pulled aside before it ever got packaged (i.e. scrap).

Under a loupe, the edges all appear to have older wear consistent with other T206's that I have, so it says to me that the cutting was done long ago. The height and width dimensions on this card are 2-5/8"x1-1/2", not too far off from what a "standard" T206 should be (2-5/8"x1-7/16"). It does seem to be missing the red coloring on his cheeks and lips when I compare it to my other Dougherty portrait examples though.

What do you guys think? Thanks!

Card has an Old Mill back. Kind of unique that it's a different player underneath since it's blue.

Any clues who it might be? Hahahaha.....

Scrap!
 

Hey there Tom...
Not Sure if You meant to infer THaT Scrap was packaged?
Howevar, I do See and Believe THaT Your Mr. Dougherty is Scrap!

I don't know the full history of THiS Mr. Dougherty
But I have Seen'em a few times Before!

Very Nice Pick~uP my Friend!!!

~ Mr. Hoffman's Ghostly Twins ~
 

My 1st encounter wit Any Type Card
THaT Had a Twin Ghost!

That shade of blue looks like the Murray portrait.

It wouldn't be Murray since he's a print group 4 subject and Casey is print
group 2. There are quite a few print group 2 subjects with a darker blue top
like Knight, Quillen and Schreck.

Speaking of Dougherty, I had heard that some collectors really liked the lavender background, which mystified me, because my example always looked grayish to me. I eventually got one of the Topps cards that had the nice lavender color. My older Piedmont does look to be somewhat similarly colored to the one shown previously in this thread.

Brian

Dougherty is one of my favorite players to collect, especially with different colored backgrounds.

From the new Rhodes thread and this thread

I think it might be Nattress

Buffalo is west of Rochester. I think you have a match.

Wondering how many hands this Burns has passed through. I'm the current proud owner. My 2nd scrap ever.

Thread bump.

Let's see some more freaks & errors...

Miscut Wallace - For the Overall, would this be just a Sweet Cap bleeding onto the front over time, given it's a PB back or a WST?

I assume it's the former, but is one of my more peculiar cards and would like to hear thoughts on it. Great cards guys! - Bill

Yes, post production damage. Still a neat card to look at though. Nice Wallace.

Oldring
 

Nice Oldring with a blob of brown lettering ink on the front under Amer. and stray blue. Also has a nice plate scratch on the back!

Thanks Jamie!...and that Cobb miscut is awesome! (Looks like Ty is rolling his eyes too, haha)

Found another Willett
 

Sorry for bringing back old threads... I picked up a Heritage lot that didn't list (in photos or text) most of the cards. This Willett was included, so I believe that this is yet another to be added.

Thanks for posting the Willett Erick. That makes 11 examples that I know of.

Here are the other 10.

It's been a while - good to see you Erick!

Odd enough right?

Some more versions of irregular cut southern leaguer “scraps” (brown old mills). We should get these SL together for a freak show. And one other brown old mill freak

love the Brown old mills Ryan!

Here is a fun one...a Sweet Caporal 350/460 factory 42 Magee that is missing the factory 42 and scroll overprint. For a while, until I showed it on here and was informed about the printing error, I thought I had an unicorn card that shouldn't exist (Sweet Caporal 350/460 factory 30).

Schaefer with grass-stained pants . . .
 

Herman A. "Germany" Schaefer. Infielder for the Washington Senators in 1909-1914. 972 hits, 9 home runs, and 201 stolen bases in 15 MLB seasons. His "steal" of first base prompted rule making it illegal. Popular as a baseball "trickster" and "on-field clown", often in tandem with Charley O'Leary and, later, with Nick Altrock. Altrock eventually perfected the art with Al Schacht.

Anyone know if the miscut hof players “add “ value?
Personally they really appeal to me!

Just acquired this example (Thanks Luke!)...I think this card is underrated. A rather special and unique printing error/anomaly. Cool story (a nail/pin got stuck during the printing process).

great card mike.. you know i love some T206 errors / print oddities

Thanks JB. I know, I just wish you'd sell me one or two. :)
