YOU ARE RIGHT!
I almost had it, but alas, bowed out to a good friend.......yes trae, a beauty! like chis's Gibson....
card is related to wonka's blank backed rossman...
I will not say who got it....
I almost had it, but there are so many scrap that has slipped through my fingers over the years! AND YES! I regret everyone missing them
the only thing that made me feel better about this card, was a great friend got it who deserved it....
card value is $2500- $3,000....
there is so much I know about these scraps and blank backs , and even more I don't know....
value is a relative term right now....
I hate to keep "hyping" t206 scrap up, the cards should speak for themselves....
value on these will only increase as collectors become more educated and understand these little pieces of the "puzzle"....the are little history pieces if you will...
think about this....
most blank backs are 1 of 1's.....
some have very few sister cards.....
these were never meant to survive....
and now, the irony, are extremely sought after....
the matty is missing 2 or more layers of ink, with a similar shift as Wonk's rossman(I missed at heritage!)....possible sister off that scrap sheet....
this is not a "proof".....but printer's scrap that THANK GOD survived....
great card......as collectors start to realize their value and rarity, this will be a 7 k card easy one day!
I see all scraps doubling or tripling in values over the years....
yes I do have a vested interest in them .....and I am very biased.....
but Earle said it best...."Card board GOLD"
these scraps will sell themselves in the future......as collectors chase the cool freak creations never intended to be distributed.....test sheets.....turned FREAKS
SO COOL
in the meantime...I will try to snatch 'em up more while I can (barely anymore
)......
if there are any doubters out there....I will gladly trade for T206 scrap....
