T206 Willis Transfer - But When?

[Thromdog]

Recently bought a lot that had a Willis portrait in it. The back looked different so I checked it out. Definitely a transfer but what kind? Wet sheet or post production?

I think it's easy to identify the post productions when the transfer isn't the same as the card itself, but here's a Willis with a Willis transfer......the black ink being the culprit and nothing else that I can discern.....

And yes, my photoshop skills stink.....shoulda had the wife do it.

factory most likely......its a "wet sheet transfer"...........the black layer was not fully dried when the sheets were "stacked" together at amer. litho...



nice card....adds like a 20 % premium...

+1 to what Johnny said.

More scans equal better threads, so here is another.

I second Jantz's second. I will also follow his lead and add another scan.

+3 and we have a quorum!

Speaking of transfers.

I like when you can see the name from the wet sheet. plus there is a nice crop mark along for the ride. It is Bresnahan, batting

Here's one more. They aren't that rare, and don't sell for much of a premium.
