Great start!

...here're a few...

The funny thing about these printing anomaly cards is that years ago, dealers would almost give that stuff away. Today those cards are sought after.

I like those cards because there's probably an unknown story that goes along with them. I wouldn't pay a premium for them, but if something came up at a reasonable price I'd probably pick it up, "just because".

Print errors go in and out of being cool. There were real hot the entire 90.s, I know I sold 1000s of them at huge premiums. A few years ago T206s errors sold for silly money and now not so much.

[teza11]

I've always liked the mis-cut's that capture 4 different cards. Here are a couple backside non-sport examples.

Here is an e92 Wagner with a menagerie back (I believe this is the only one known), and a t206 multi-strike with brown old mill and a ghost image

I never get tired of this one.

Ditto.

[kdixon]

Couple with Zach Wheat and Hugie Jennings.

[ajquigs]

Post-war, but one of my favorites. I don't have this card anymore, but I found it cool that it was so miscut it had parts of two different neighboring cards visible.

[GrayGhost]

I just got a similar one to kdixon

Low grade but no care. Sam Rice and Ed Walsh

[uyu906]

I love the ones where there are images on the backs that do not belong there. Not sure what the correct hobby name is for these.

Happy New Year

[Sean]

Great card Steve. I remember when that card was on Ebay. I'm glad that you're the one who got it.

[brass_rat]

Thanks, Sean. The previous owner is a nice board member, so we were able to transact the good ol' fashioned way.

[Bill77]

A Forbes with the colors off in about three directions, a Doolin with most of his facial features obscured, Max West looks like the artist was drunk, a green boarder Becker with a Blue? Becker, a miss aligned Lumley, a pair of T79's with the remains of crop marks, and Heinie Meine with a ghost on the back.

[Rhotchkiss]

Steve, that t215 pirate is Beast! I too remember it raw, on eBay. Smart move buying and slabbing it; I didn’t have the guts.

[ValKehl]

Nice T215 Pirate, Steve. Being a Sam Rice collector, it doesn't get any better than this:

That is a great card Darren.

Here is my mis cut 61 Mantle Stamp and the weirdest 1953 Topps George Spencer you have ever seen.

Yes I know it is just mislabeled and yes I paid a premium for it.

[Bill77]

This will probably be the newest card on the list.

[bnorth]

Here are some of my favorites.
1990 Score Wade Boggs/Roger Clemens Wrongback Pair
1986 Topps Roger Clemens Blue Streak Error
1958 Topps Warren Spahn coolest you will ever see
1989 Score Wade Boggs/Jesse Barfield Wrongback Pair
1988 Topps Wade Boggs/Steve Lake Wrongback Pair

Okay so my card is the 8th or so newest on the list.

Hi Jeff,

Here's a Crofts Cocoa example for you.

Scott

[MVSNYC]

Here are some freaks I used to own, but not anymore. I enjoyed owning them.

[irishdenny]

Since Scott Ask'd...

[Orioles1954]

FYI - I have a couple of 1970s Topps printing freaks on the BST right now.

[Rhotchkiss]

Recently acquired

[MVSNYC]

Ryan, have you seen this Chris Browne break down of your card?

And I believe you've seen the same of your Cy Young freak, right?

[MVSNYC]

Probably from same sheet as the above...

[smitti8]

Miscut and not so blank backed PC...

[steve B]

Multiple impressions from adjusting registration on both black and magenta - Most likely on a 2 color press.


From the corner of a make-ready sheet. They'd tear the corner off as a marker between the ones used to setup the press and the sheets that were intended as product. Blue printed lightly in the torn area.


Weird top and bottom edge from debris on the sacrificial strip in the cutter.


Overall weirdness - wrong colors, screened differently, Proofs? A test of some sort? The kid I got them from could have gotten them off boxes, and I think his dad worked for Hostess


Beck is missing two colors, pink/tan and gray. Huggins is really washed out but probably not faded. There are a few that come that way.

[tedzan]

This card is my favorite post-war printing oddity. I acquired this card in the 1980's, and have never seen another 69T Mickey with blue background
since then......has anyone here seen one ? ?

And, here are some T-card anomalies...…
