I remember getting these atrocities back in the '60s - as a kid, you weren't too happy about 1 of the 5 cards in the pack being miscut by 33% or the registration being off in a way that would draw $500-$1,000 on a T206 today.

Another question - on the T206s, if one card had the problem, then every card on the sheet had it. Meaning it was even weirder that the cards made it to a pack - they might miss it on one card, but an entire sheet?

Were the modern cards you posted at the bottom printed the same way, or was there a possibility of only a subset of the sheet ending up as these freaks?
