There is ZERO evidence that any of these T206's were cut from sheets post production. That is a mea culpa on the part of the bad actors to deflect blame.
All cards were cut from sheets originally, but no one has seen a sheet or partial sheet in the times since they were printed(The 5 card strip is a mock up and not an actual strip/sheet).
Could they be scraps, perhaps but they were not cut from sheets in the 1920's or 1940's or 1990's. A close friend of mine owns one of the Wagner Piedmont's and it does have an upside down ghost, so very well could be scrap. It is documented to the 1950's so has a pedigree of sorts.
