Default Mystery t206 card

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

The "ghost" image is that of Cy Young. This portrait pose of him was in the
very first Series (150) of T206 cards.

I have similar cards like this in later Gum issues where the printers were
using "reject" stock to clean their press plates of old ink in order to start
the next press run.

The front shows a Southern Lgr. (Mullaney) and this is very informative.
As Scot Reader analysis indicated that 42 of the 48 So.Lgrs were produced
very early in the process. Therefore, this "crazy" card confirms his findings.

We are very grateful to you for posting it....Thanks much.
