KRAUSE:
This card really was a great addition to "my circus"
(Andy coined this great term i use now).....
These things are almost impossible to find....
Chris had a great explaination, but the one area might need tweeking, GB is right, there was little quality control in the 3 years they were printed(more mistakes in the early run, obvious why).....Thank God, cause poor quality control created 100 year old Chase cards/vintage "inserts"
BUT- SCRAP IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ARENA GB!!
NOT like the "normal" errors found within the set....There are prob 100 or more "nodgrases" or missing magenta cards , ect....boring.....
Scrap NEVER, I REPEAT, NEVER made it into the packs to be distributed!!!!!, they were retrieved from the garbage or the print floor(yellow browns, dramatic ghosts , blank backs, ect)...where as "poor quality control cards" made it out to the public via distribution in packs("nodgrass" Magie, factory miscuts,ect)....they are much, much, much less rare than scrap....
SCRAP IS ANOTHER "TYPE" of t206.....each one is essentially a "unique" variation of the normal distributed card, ONE of ONES....THEY ARE SNOWFLAKES IF YOU WIll....You can only own 1 unique Variation, or some may have a twin or two, BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAMe...
some maybe similiar, BUT NO 2 SCRAP ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! REpeat...NO 2 SCRAPS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME...
if you own a scrap, your the only one that owns that "particuliar" variation if you will....each scrap is handcut differently.....so even if you have 2 of the similiar types of scrap, NO TWO ARE EXACTLY the same...YOU own then a card no one else is privy to own, thats why i love, cause i always go the alternative route and against the grain....
My point...
try to find another Krause like this, exactly....YOU WONT!!!!they DOnt exist(theoretically more were printed on the sheet, but who knows if anymore survived, and if they did, they might have a different "ghost" on the front, or another varient... SO Krause is....
"the Krause"
My challenge Gb= find two exactly same scraps!!! they wont exist!\
So, each scrap that you own, is 50-60 x RARer than Wagner....12 x rarer than doyle......
my "freaks" essentially constitute a collection that is ONE OF A KIND...no one can own the same, or even similar collection....i own a partial, one of a kind unique t206 set..
Can not be duplicated with all the money in the world.....thats why i might one day consider the wagner trade...cause i could never afford a wags with cash, but a unique t206 set might get me one(been chasing wags since i'm 11 years old, 41 now) 30 year chase going on...
thats why these scraps are not the traditional"error" card caused by poor quality control by the printer, and something simply blocked the "s" in snodgras from being printed, these were created by Printers set up of sheets/ test runs if u will which created Freaky, Phycodelic images on the these historic cards....Inadvertently created SOME OF THE COOLEST CARDS PRODUced...IMHO.....
instead, they are tiny "unique" pieces of art that was accidentally created by an employee at ATC in NYC who was simply doing his job and ironically PIECES OF TRUE GARBAGE BECAME almost priceless(to me and an increasing larger following)....
One man gather what another man spills.....
pieces of "garbage " are now approaching status of some of the rarest cards in our hobby....
This creates competition for me to acquire these cards, but i want to share with others.....enjoy with others.......collectors are starting to realize whats up.....
PHEW
Peace
