Default Was This T-206 Ghost Print Ever Identified?
Posted By: PC

Thanks Jon. You just proved my theory that the overprint is Bescher, and not a previously unknown player.

The "Cincinnati" in the overprint is the same Cincinnati that appears on the T206 Egan (the stylized font is not completely covered up with the black border on the Egan). I think it was the style that appeared in the original photo/art of Bescher, and then that font was changed for the final Bescher, but used for other Cincinnati players (e.g. Egan).
