T206 Overprint Question

[JustCollectVP]

How often do you find the overprint shifted or misprinted to the point of exposing or failing to obscure the original Factory No. 30 and presenting the Factory No. 30 in addition to the Factory No. 649? I'm trying to glean some knowledge from those that a far more versed in this issue. Any information would be appreciated.

I'll let the experts answer the "how rare" question, but I've seen two.
I'm a back man, and that is a nice card.
Who is on the front?

I feel like you probably see 24 stamped correctly for every 1 double factory with the 649 overprint.

People like them and they are scarce enough that they get a little premium.

I agree with Luke. I used to think they were much more rare than they really are.....They still command a premium IMO....

[mrvster]

All answers are correct......they typically run between $100- $225.00 bucks.....

the more "shifted" usually the more $ type of rule....I have had several over the years and are a neat little error....not ultra rare, but gives enough attention to command a premium....

not a "strike it rich" error....but

One time I mentioned an attribute of a card in an auction and the eventual winner told me he paid more because of that attribute. It is all about demand (says the collector who pays way too much for stuff)

I like Luke's "24:1"

Of the 27 I have, only one (Ewing) has the double factory.

Yes, some premium, for those who care

I agree with what other board members have said. They are out there, but you don't see many.

Here are a few more examples. Liebhardt & Davis

To me, the Davis is a really nice example since the bar missed completely.

The more weird the better!! Neat cards, guys...
