Ladder7 11-02-2013 07:10 AM

Great freaks.

The ghosts that are not WSTs I think, were the the result of an ink pass upon the metal press surface, when the pressman missed a paper throw. The following pass picked up that ink.

congrats on that beauty......an elite card in an elite group of collectors;)

hands down as rare and as kewl as brown old mill.......

these cards are like little pieces of art:D

I love the fact, that this can be called "THE GILBERT" ;)

CW 11-03-2013 10:24 AM

These are the coolest of the "freaks", in my opinion. :cool:

Love the detail in some of those ghost images.

Imagine what lurks out there in collections undiscovered, hidden gems in someone's stash -- someone who's never heard of this Net54 we all peruse daily. It's spooky to think about it... :eek:

Wow, that's a complete overprint. I can't recall seeing one like that before.

Maybe Johnny can tell us just how rare that is.

MVSNYC 11-06-2014 02:24 PM

I'm not into the ghost cards too much, BUT that Poland/Downey is downright sick!

Johnny will be posting about 700 exclamation points very shortly.

Jobu 11-06-2014 02:56 PM

Johnny's post is half-written - he had a heart attack before he could hit "submit reply"

Omg......
 
THERE'S one of my WHite Whales:eek::eek:

The Downey I have been trying to get from Rob for YEARS;):eek:

I have kicked myself in the ass when I passed on that card from Scott F in early 2000:eek::eek:

I could cry.....but ....alas....Rob deserves that beauty...


trying to catch my breathe right now....LOVE THAT CARD!! HINT HINT HINT;)

Bigb13 11-06-2014 04:01 PM

Downey is one of a kind I have never seen anything close to looking this good. Big bucks. I see SGC has given number grade to ghosts cards all depends who submits it but looks vgex to me no creases and beautiful focus good centering. Rob

mrvster 11-07-2014 06:06 AM

Rob.....
 
in all due respect.......SGC is totally objective ..:confused:.....

you need to understand what kind of card you own....:)


and appreciate it....


it's called a "printer's scrap"......it was hand cut from scrap sheets.....if you received a "number" grade on this card , it would indicate that the card was "factory" cut and truly not scrap......which would "red flag" the card to me...then "forget about" big bux;) I wouldn't want it a quarter as much if it weren't scrap....without the "A" .....the "A" means everything on that card....btw....id "kiss" SGC's ass for putting the actual ghost image of Poland on the flip;) I would thank them for that......:D

I haven't seen any front ghost image T206 :confused: with a numerical grade( true printer's scrap with front ghosts)???????????????? please show me one???:confused:

my one regret was not picking you card up for $650.00 years ago.....


regards

Bigb13 11-07-2014 06:28 AM

I have seen ghosts on the back like Frank Chance ghost with a number grade why would they do that? Rob

Bigb13 11-07-2014 06:45 AM

I have a lot more ghost image or overprints whatever they are called. 48 Bowman 52 Topps 51 Bowman 60fleer baseball and football along with maybe 5 or 6 other vintage ones I would have to look I have 3 shoeboxes full of overprints. Rob

No Pre-WWI E-cards yet? Well here's one....

Not a true "ghost" in terms of the card being a wet-sheet-transfer, but because this Mordecai is missing so many color passes, the result is a very ghostlike version of Mordecai in this example...

Brian, I'm not knocking your card, but wasn't there someone (very skilled) who was shaving or skinning cards to create a ghostlike effect, like the above M. Brown example?

News to me. This card came from the late Jim Blumenthal who owned the card for 10 years I believe, before he traded it to me in early august. He had acquired it in a Lipset auction back in 2004.

Hey there Brian, MVSNYC(My Apologies, I'm terrible with remembering Names),

I Remember Jim's Card Very Well and Would Be Honored if ThiS Such Card Was iN My CollectioN!
As fir it being tampered with... if I remember correctly, this card was included in a topic of cards that were subject to "Someone's Work".

However, IMHO... JimB had owned and presented this card numerous of times that Well Predate such "Handy Work" of those involved wit creating "Fake Ghost Cards". So No, This Card iS True to the Hobby!

ThiS Card to me iS Iconic!!! And If You Ever Decide that You Might Want to Sell or Trade iT ~ Brian, Please Ring me uP!

"I Truly Would Love to add one of Jim's Cards to my Collection, Especially ThiS One!!!"

Thanks Denny, I appreciate the kind words. I'm curious how recently did this individual create his fake ghost cards? I know the mordecai brown pictured has been in a holder the past decade and I don't think there was any interest in ghosts or printing flubs prior to that was there? At least not enough interest for someone to be out there forging them...
