Default did the t206 strip sell?

simply e-mail me at tycobb@adelphia.net or joejackson1919@comcast.net.
Edited to add the scans are too large to post here - sorry!

Cut the scan down in order to fit it on here. Mastro even states in the description that this one came from a Goudey employee - probably making a joke card to fill in for the missing #106 (which would later be printed in 1934 as Lajoie). Notice there is no "Bleed Through" on the back like a lot of REAL 33 Goudeys have. Also, Mastro goes on to state this is probably some "Proof". It seems they call a lot of cards "Proofs" that don't look like they should - a PRIME example is how Mastro referred to the T206 Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb back that is graded "Authentic" as a proof, and it is definitely handcut and looks VERY DIFFERENT from a REAL T206 Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb back! As well as all the Piedmont Wagners appearing handcut - Mastro's explanation - they were cut from a sheet by one of the printers!
