A fair number of these color-error cards are indeed Factory-cut.
And that does not surprise me because when I opened up 1949 BOWMAN 5-cent packs, I do remember finding color-error cards.
Not that often; nevertheless, some which were mostly from the 3rd Series issue.

Now this is getting very interesting!
So the slate sheets for the 1948 Bowman basketball series were all rejected, but the following year some of the slate sheets for the 1949 baseball series ended up being factory cut and inserted into packs. I wonder what happened here. It looks like Zabel Bros. just decided to send some of the slate sheets to Bowman and left it up to them. Bowman obviously had no problem with them, otherwise, I don't think they would have ended up being sold to the public.
