W516-2-1 question
 
I have little experience with this issue. Is it common for them to have ghost images on the reverse? I have a few W514's with very minor bleed-through but my feeling is (due to the thickness of the card) that this is a wet-transfer. Very cool nonetheless.

Not too common, here is a scan of another. Player is actually HOFer George Kelly.

Funny thing about these W516-2-1 cards with the wetink transfers on back, the back is the correct image..... and the front has a reversed negative image (backwards IFS Copyright symbol) :)

I always thought it was bleed through because the paper stock was so poor. I find it odd that you woul dhave the same player on a wet sheet transfers...??

James, Its simple.... The sheets were printed and stacked before the ink dried leaving a mirror image on the back of the sheet on top.
