Julie..alot of them look like they're decorated by hand. For insatance, all the Newark cards Mark Macrae has have a gold stripe that goes 1/2 inch down the left hand side. Mine (Nee) goes 1/2 inch down the RIGHT hand side. There are 4 or ficve features of my card that are not symmetrical. Both Mark and Mark (Peavy, the guy i won the Nee from) say they are all typical of T205 minor leaguers. So nobody done me wrong, after all.
I only had 2 T205s, a Duffy and a Tinker. I attribute this to my having been involved for nearly 20 years in collecting T202s, which are very similar on the ends to T205s. (No, I haven't been working on one set for 20 years; i finished one set, had to sell it, and now have 95 cards on set number 2. It was more fun the first time around).
