Default How ghosts came to be

Posted By: runscott

But they are interesting, rare, people like them, and a market has developed for them. Why try to convince people they should not like something that appeals to them?

But I understand your points: theoretically, I should much prefer a vg t206 common that was printed corretly, to one that is in 'g' condition and has ghosts of several other players printed all over it, upside-down and sideways. I should reject this second card as the garbage it was intended to be and ignore it completely...but I don't. The fact that it is completely different from any other version known to exist of that t206 common, and that it somehow escaped it's intended spot in the trash heap, is part of the appeal.
