Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>looks good. cool looking printers scrap.<br /><br />a minor correction though....<br />It is not a 'single color' -<br />the listing information is a bit incorrect stating that the card has 'only the yellow'<br /><br />There is obviously black in the card as well.<br /><br />(uniform, hat, etc.)<br /><br /><br />So - there are at least two colors (black and yellow) in the card.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>....which is the lack of most colors, further evidence that this card was not issued in a pack of cigarettes is the sharpness of the corners, wide borders and wavy top edge. <br><br>_ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ _ <br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.t206collector.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206collector.com</a> for signed deadball card galleries, articles and more!

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I find it interesting that most scraps (of similar nature) that I have seen come with the Sweet Caporal back.<br />I have seen some with other backs.... but the Sweet Cap is most common.<br /><br />Quite possibly these scraps were part of the same print run.<br /><br />For sure, they were sheets that were meant to be thrown out - but someone saved them from the trash-bin.<br /><br /><br />I also find it interesting that the Wagner card is Sweet Cap.<br />Could these scraps be brothers of the Wagner (on the same sheet / part of the same run)?<br />Could they be part of the 'halt the presses' - when they had to stop printing Wagners?<br /><br />I would say it is completely impossible to prove such a notion....<br />but it is a fun hypotheses nonetheless.

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p><br />I think this one may have some issues when compared to known ideas about series and distributions.<br /><br />From Scot R's Inside T206, Joss (Pitching) is a 350/460 Regular Print. The Factory SC460/30 back is apparently not known with that series, but only with the 350/460 Super-print and 460-only subjects.<br /><br />Is my understanding of that data wrong, or is this another case of bad front/back combo on a not-so-real card, or ... because it is printers scrap, "all-bets-are-off" (like the multi-overprint recently discussed).<br />--<br />Mike

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>card looks fine...i have a very similar example of sweeney, ny...and as far as the "sharp" corners/trimmed look...these scraps were often hand-cut.<br /><br />
