Show your T206 freaks, errors, and scraps
 

This thread goes out to a few Goonies I know....

I am sure there are (many) past threads on the topic, so apologies for the redundancy, but really what is one more T206 thread?!

Aside from the Magie, the Doyle NY Nat'l, and Brown Old Mills, I am not an error/scrap/freak collector, but I know there are many on here who are. There are also many new users who I thought may want to see some freaks and learn more about them.

Here are my only three error/freaks, all acquired because they have Brown Old Mill advertisements on them; and one has a Cy Young Portrait Ghost Image to boot.

Lets see those freaks, errors, and scraps!

These are great, Ryan. Thanks for posting.

These two are what I have to offer before much more impressive ones come down the pike. An offset Donovan with Donovan being both on top and bottom on front and portion of another card on the back, and a Magee Sweet Caporal 460 missing the overprint.

Brian

is that Magee Sweet Caporal 460 missing the overprint very rare? To someone like me who isn't a Magee collector, I would have no clue at all.

Just won this off the Bay...to me it looks like a scrap given the uneven cut and off centeredness of the back. Thoughts on this? I don't have it in hand yet.

Bill

Ryan, Goonies Never Say Die! ;)

Your cards are amazing!

Here's a few I have...

Thanks Mike and John.

Bill, it’s tough to see from the pic, but at least one edge looks a little wonky. I don’t think the OC on the back is relevant. Regardless, I don’t feel comfortable opining on your query, but there are plenty on here who will.

I like em weird.

Recently re-acquired the Willetts, thanks Mike!

I don't remember seeing on here, or elsewhere, another Sweet Caporal T206 of ANY player that is missing the overprint.

Then again, my memory and vision ain't what it used to be.

Brian

The Donovan that MVSNYC posted is the Major League oddity compared to my minor league Donovan curiosity.

Brian

Here's a few T206 scans I had available. I have other oddity type T206's but would need to dig them out and scan them. If I'm not working this summer, I'll be scanning my T206 collection and making the scans public.

Probably most of you have seen these a few times already. Hopefully the scans show up. I've been having issues posting scans. The scan sizes are no different than what I've used in the past and what I see others posting.

Ron, Wow!

Since someone has to follow that, here are a few odd balls, nothing spectacular, but I found these cool and I think they fit the bill

Cheers All

I think these qualify!

Some Blank backs and some "scrap"......

There are a few like this out there...

Awesome thread, so many amazing cards! Here's probably my two favorite error cards I own...Knight (port) miscut and Knight (bat) missing color.

I picked this one up recently. The most drastic miscut I have, and an ultra rare EPDG!

Great additions to the thread- Chris, Sonny, Scott, etc, etc. Awesome stuff.

Kevin, the chain of ownership of the Knight Miscut...

Scott & Hank, Me, Wonka, Me again, You. Great example.

Herzog looks hand cut to me.

There are a bunch of Sweet Cap cards that are missing their overprints and therefore are no prints:

https://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=245983

There was a large group of them that showed up on Ebay in 2016-2017 but for the life of me I cannot find that thread. Many of the cards that were missing the scroll were no prints (issued with the scroll but not without it) while the seller also had cards that were missing the scrolls and hand cut but that were issued both ways (I had a Herzog), so they were scraps too but not no prints.

When I clicked on this post I thought it said "Here's a few T206 that I have available" along with a picture of a Blue Old Mill. My head nearly exploded for a moment.

Good to know, and I'm just glad I didn't post on that 3-1/2 year old thread you linked. Makes me feel better about my mental future.

Brian

Along with Ryan's Brown Old Mill multi-overprints and Chris's Lash's over-print
these are my favorite t206 oddities.

Here's another Blank Back Scrap (thanks Chuck!)...

No real differences from a production card, but almost for sure cut from a sheet.

The few blank backs I have. I don't have Ellam anymore, but I've just been too lazy to do new scans.
https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...pictureid=1876

Weird miscut from debris on the sacrificial strip in the cutter.

https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...pictureid=7029

Downey and Lobert are from a lot on ebay that had 40+ years of sun exposure
Huggins is one from a group of normal 350's that are naturally very washed out.
Beck is missing two colors dark red and gray.

Attachment 460465

Here's a few of mine.

Pat, I have an Atz Polar Bear scrap if interested...

also listed for sale in the BST....this ghost

My mind does the same thing at times. Because you get used to certain words together and that's how you see it during the first read. No current plans to sell it but I'd sure like to get it graded at some point. Probably with SGC since the other two Blue Old Mill's were graded by them.

An assortment of color printing errors......

Let's start with the "leader" of the Elite 11 group, Carl Lundgren. Note that his 4th card is missing blue ink (in the 6-color printing process).

Here's a pedestrian but very mangled Dahlen

Haha
 

Yes!!!

now this is a post:eek:

I just saw about half the cards I used to own literally:D

I will post tomorrow of some of my remaining snowflakes....

:D

Here's a few more.

The 5 musketeers.... reunited 100 years later from the same sheet...

That's neat Jamie I didn't remember that the one had the top of another
Seymour on it.

Red Piedmont
 

Red Piedmont back - unfortunately it is a T42 lol...

Just a matter of time B4 a Red Piedmont T206 shows up?

Attachment 460752

Attachment 460753

Attachment 460754

Cliff, that's quite fascinating. And maybe that's the printer's hand created mark (the black line)?

One of my favorites, and the grade always makes me laugh

Minor oddity - wet sheet transfer. Neat that the factory number shows on the front, too.

Wow!
 

Nice cards guys! Got this in mail today! Name on top Cobbie! Yay! :) Thanks Renay! :)

Attachment 460819

Attachment 460820

Oh.. this Cobb would be a nice addition to that Cobb run. This is going to be a 5 figure Cobb!

:)
 

Chris,

No, I'm keeping Mr. Cobb but yes it would be cool in Jamie's run however that collection is a "Back" run and he has a Polar Bear back already! Thanks! Fun card!

Mike

Uppy Down HOF
 

Great card I have had for awhile. Would consider selling for the right price OR prefer trading towards AB460's I need...

Pic?
 

Pic Adam?

Let's see some more oddballs.

Double backed Leach?
 

purchased as is at the Pittsburgh Card show a few years back?

Attachment 461513

Attachment 461514

I love that Bender Adam!

Here are two minor oddities, Moriarity missing ink (available) and a Davis that I think had a mixup on the light gray layer to add contrast and instead got a much darker shade that makes it look like there is a smoky fire behind him.

Helm Multistrike
 

Here is another of the Southern Leaguers with the Brown OM, EPDG and Piedmont 350 multistrike back. The player on the back is Ganley which I find to be interesting (both Ganley and Schaefer are Elite 11 players). These seem (to me at least) to represent the transition from the 150 series to the 350 series, but I will let the experts chime in.

That awesome Sonny.

Thank you Ryan. Your Mullaney is the ULTIMATE scrap. I’m hoping posting a third will stimulate some interesting discussion that may bleed over into Pat’s ledger thread.

Fantastic card Sonny!

I've attempted to break down the different layers.

https://i.imgur.com/U2LLLrR.png

That’s amazing Chris. Your skills truly blow my mind. I appreciate you unraveling the clutter.

Amazing card Sonny, & amazing work on the deconstruct Chris!

Chris, can you deconstruct the Mullaney (again)? Thanks in advance

Oh, and here are a few blank backs and one proof

matty proof :eek::eek:

https://i.imgur.com/IDkPjZP.png

That Matty proof is insane...one of the best T206 in existence IMO. Wow. And the Mullaney is the most amazing ‘scrap’ I’ve ever seen. Kudos.

Nice Chris!!! Thanks. And thanks Sonny.

Incredible cards everyone!! Nice work Chris on the separation of layers on those cards.

Shit just got real in here.

Sonny, The Helm scrap is incredible. Ryan, amazing.

And Chris, I always love seeing your deconstruction work!

Pretty sure Sonny's insane scrap will end up in Ryan's collection. :D

Matty McIntyre split back with part of a Killian portrait back.


Attachment 461627 Attachment 461628

Chris, it's clear that one of those upside down yellow panels is designed to be part of the Cy Young portrait. Has anyone ever figured out what player the other yellow panel was intended for?

Sean, it's Mullin.

Attachment 461690 Attachment 461691

Don't seem like an exact match of Mullin.... hmm..

Yep it's Mullin. I recreate each layer manually using other scans/images and they are definitely not 100% accurate/matching.

I used the original T206 image for the Young ghost

https://i.imgur.com/bOfvmMU.png
https://i.imgur.com/puMja4p.gif

Best scan I have of the Young
https://i.imgur.com/VYGJmk0.png

wow.. u created those single images one by one? I thought u have some kind of software that can separate out each pigment like those machine museum uses to inspect documents from thousands yr ago.

How do you follow up what jus was seen ?

Doubt it.

+1 Ryan already has a Helm/ Old Mill Brown, and he doesn't care about the rest of the back.

Thanks Pat, I can see that now.

Plus I doubt Sonny would part with it.

Correct. I like the brown OM, the multi-strike is bonus, and I have a Helm Brown OM. And I agree Mike, Sonny is unlikely to part with it anyway

Chris, your image skills are very impressive. I barely know how to post a regular picture!

Recently re-acquired the Mitchell Proof, thanks Chris!

Thanks to Adam for a great trade.

(This is an older scan, before the card was flipped over in the slab, I think Wonka had that done with this, and several other error/printing freak cards, many years ago).

Recently picked up this Street. Pondering whether to keep or sell it, as it's a Piedmont back and I'm working towards an off-back set...
I wasn't able to find much in the way of comparisons. There was a two-faced Hugh Duffy recently on bst, but that was a graded, Sovereign, HOFer, with the name shifted as well...Any thoughts on how to classify this (ghost, shift, etc.)? Any thoughts on possible added value for the rarity?
Thanks!
-Ryan

.

Nice cards, guys.

Ryan, that's a printing "shift" (not a ghost), and a great one at that.

Nice to see this thread revived. Here's a few other printing errors I have...

Just got a Young Bare Hand with name on top on consignment. Not the craziest thing I've seen but a good clean name on top with nothing on bottom, so a nice example.

Love the Piedmont/Tolstoi Graham, great card Mike!
