Wanted: Mis-cut cards

[brightair]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for miscut cards. I have been collecting these, trying to get three different for each number. I don't want just "off-center", but with part of another card showing, preferably on the front (but even on the back), and the more of that "other" card showing, the better! Any year, any sport, any non-sport, any condition works fine. My eventual goal is to get 3 different cards for each number. The smallest card number I currently have is #1, and the largest #767. If you have a card where the number is partially cut off, that is fine for me. If there are 2 numbers on the back, or none at all, those are also fine. Still want any and all numbers!

Mostly the cards I have are 60s and 70s baseball commons. I don’t have many newer cards, probably because better production practices have meant fewer printing screwups. But I would enjoy getting any of these for variety. I have mostly baseball, so would love getting other sports or non-sport. I am definitely not looking for stars or key cards or cards with any traditional value, but just for the degree and variety of mis-cutness. Basically, the cards that work for me would be virtually worthless to a dealer or investor, and would only work, at best, as temporary fillers even for a collector.

I would love to get more of these mc cards, and would be willing to trade something for them. However, since they have very little value, I am not willing to trade too much. I am just doing this for the fun of it and to satisfy my curiosity. Eventually it may provide an amusing compilation and possibly be helpful for those investigating early card printing techniques that could be assisted by knowing which cards were printed next to which.
