Chris,

Here's another one ( I don't think it's any of the ones you posted scans of).

Looks like a new example, thanks for sharing.

Figured out that Overall throwing was Wiltse's neighbor on Sweet Cap 350-460 Factory 42 OP. The yellow, shoulder (including the blue layer), and belt all seem to make this one a lock.

Nice work Bryan.

Nice work Bryan.

Picked up a Perring with a wet sheet transfer. You can make out his hair, bridge of his nose, and eyebrows.

Thanks guys, I get a kick out of finding these. Now to try to solve the Barger mystery.

E126 Emil Meusel Reverse Wet Sheet Transfer
 

Oh do I wish my mother had taught me to use a scanner because I have an interesting E card of E. Meusel, a E126 with a perfect complete ghost image of the obverse just a little fuzzy and, of course, reversed. I know E126's aren't T206's but in harmony with this thread thought I would mention it. And, remembering that New Year's and the inevitable resolutions aren't that far away, I will get a scan up of this unusual and perhaps unique card by 1/1/16. I got it recently on Ebay and it is graded SGC vg/ex. Now does anybody collect the Meusel bros. cards. It might be for sale. John

Is this it?

The very one. Now we know there are at least two. I guess that means mine is worth less. Oh well.

This isn't my card I pulled the scans from ebay so this could be your card.


BTW if it is yours it's a nice card and congratulations on the pick up

I put this in the Dec pickup thread, but thought it should really be here as well. Sorry for the double post.

It is worth the same.
It is the one that came from my collection I just sold. It is the only one known like that...There are not 2 of them I am aware of. Great card!!

That Ganzel is sick!

ED-GREAT SCRAP!!!:eek:

Rob......Poland has been a "white whale" of mine.....

It has been some time since this thread was on the main page, so why not let Mr Burns kick it back to the top. For the T206 printing guys, this is interesting because it appears to show a that there may have been 2 green layers on this card. There is a misregistration of the green and the red on the front and what looks like a weak roller transfer of the yellow layer on the back. Also, for Johnny, some nice fat, clearly hand-cut borders.

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.

these are such
 

Great pieces!!!

when I have a chance I will contribute some more......I have some absolute beauties:D

Here's another willett.

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!
