Default Weird T206 Card - need theories

Posted By: runscott

and I appreciate your input. But the word "proof" does get thrown around a lot, so I just want to make sure I don't get grouped into that class of collector that calls anything with an imperfection a "proof" - I took a virtual beating a couple of years ago for using the word "proof" inappropriately, but that was good because it caused me to do some research which was fun and hopefully resulted in something useful to other collectors. The t206 proofs usually have cross-hatches on each border and are hand-cut.

It's difficult to be positive where the scratches on the Piedmont/pack card cross the black line around the printed image, especially since the scratches and white border area are the same color, but I'm fairly certain they cross in the areas pointed to with the black lines, and probably in other areas as well - you would need a better scan to be certain.
