The funny thing about these printing anomaly cards is that years ago, dealers would almost give that stuff away. Today those cards are sought after.
I like those cards because there's probably an unknown story that goes along with them. I wouldn't pay a premium for them, but if something came up at a reasonable price I'd probably pick it up, "just because". |

I've always liked the mis-cut's that capture 4 different cards. Here are a couple backside non-sport examples.

Here is an e92 Wagner with a menagerie back (I believe this is the only one known), and a t206 multi-strike with brown old mill and a ghost image

Post-war, but one of my favorites. I don't have this card anymore, but I found it cool that it was so miscut it had parts of two different neighboring cards visible. |

I just got a similar one to kdixon
Low grade but no care. Sam Rice and Ed Walsh |
I love the ones where there are images on the backs that do not belong there. Not sure what the correct hobby name is for these.

Happy New Year

Great card Steve. I remember when that card was on Ebay. I'm glad that you're the one who got it.
|
Thanks, Sean. The previous owner is a nice board member, so we were able to transact the good ol' fashioned way.

A Forbes with the colors off in about three directions, a Doolin with most of his facial features obscured, Max West looks like the artist was drunk, a green boarder Becker with a Blue? Becker, a miss aligned Lumley, a pair of T79's with the remains of crop marks, and Heinie Meine with a ghost on the back.
|
Steve, that t215 pirate is Beast! I too remember it raw, on eBay. Smart move buying and slabbing it; I didn’t have the guts.

Nice T215 Pirate, Steve. Being a Sam Rice collector, it doesn't get any better than this:

Multiple impressions from adjusting registration on both black and magenta - Most likely on a 2 color press.
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=6133 From the corner of a make-ready sheet. They'd tear the corner off as a marker between the ones used to setup the press and the sheets that were intended as product. Blue printed lightly in the torn area. http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=3243 Weird top and bottom edge from debris on the sacrificial strip in the cutter. http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=7029 Overall weirdness - wrong colors, screened differently, Proofs? A test of some sort? The kid I got them from could have gotten them off boxes, and I think his dad worked for Hostess http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=10145http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=10144 Beck is missing two colors, pink/tan and gray. Huggins is really washed out but probably not faded. There are a few that come that way. http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=18319 |
This card is my favorite post-war printing oddity. I acquired this card in the 1980's, and have never seen another 69T Mickey with blue background
since then......has anyone here seen one ? ? http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...eMantle50x.jpg . . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Mantle50xx.jpg And, here are some T-card anomalies...… http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Cf30xscrap.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...ap3x4Fac30.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...yBlankBack.jpg . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...BlankBackb.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...smiscut50x.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...insWCbk50x.jpg TED Z T206 Reference . |

I'm pretty stoked to get these. As far as I'm aware, they are the only known pair of the same player (presumably same sheet) upside back cards (a matched pair).

Real cool Michael- I don’t recall seeing two errors like that of same player. That could be a one-of-a-kind pair!

Front is centered, not sure how there could be this much space on the back. End of row, or sheet? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fe09a9be5e.jpg

Here are a few fun ones (fun for some...you are here, aren't you?):
E92 Croft's Cocoa of McLean with upside down back 1933 Goudey of Luque with Urbanski rear biography overprint on front 1938 Goudey of Medwick with printer's lines E220 Groh with 3 cards visible (the card on right is Peckinpaugh). This card makes it evident that the makers were not too precise when laying out the sheets. Note the difference in height in the border lines of the Groh and the Peckinpaugh card. W517 of Harris with reversed image on reverse 1910 Obak of Persons missing color passes E92 Nadja of Stone with more than one color shift E91C Delehanty with interesting blue color transfer of grandstands as seen on front E254 of Flaherty off-center and revealing two of the four lines (on left and at bottom) that bordered the square photo that these discs were punched from Brian |
Brian
great pieces!:)

Not vintage but you asked - 1982 was a good year for Topps - two sheets with wrong backs and one sheet with color misprints and wrong backs.
