Quan,

This is a wierd card. It's missing a color (red) on the front which causes the black and white look. He should have pink on the face, hat, and hands.

If you add the missing red color to the background, you get purple. Are Old Puts (or E98s) known in purple?

Paul,

The old put ink is purple, but wasn't part of the printing process. E98s are found in blue, red, orange, and green only.

Here's another blue dooin with the red:



Brett,

Did you notice the old put on the back?

Rob

Ofcource. Thats why I was watching the card from the very beginning of the auction. I also tried to get the seller to end the auction early.

This sniping crap on ebay really pisses me off. I've lost so many cards due to this....

This makes only the second non-red Old Put I have ever seen. Leon's blue Clarke being the other.

The redish color (missing on top card) would only be printed on the hat, face, hands, sleaves, socks, and glove, not the background.

I'm not so sure a color is missing on this one -- at least not due to a printing omission. The variance could be attributed instead to water damage/fading. I've seen a similar effect on various T206s.

I agree with Steve; the 20/80 centering bothers me.

Welcome to armpit collecting . It's the backbone of the hobby !!.

For the record I have seen one other blue background Old Put card besides this one and mine.....they are rare though....almost all are of the red background variety....

edited to add that I am glad to see this one be a non-hof'er. For some reason the great majority, that I have seen, seem to be HOF'ers...

Leon,

Care to share who the other blue old put player was?

By the way, I've existed in the "armpit" for many years.

Rob

I agree with MW, the missing color could certainly be from water/moisture/light damage.

Rob- it was a HOF'er but I forget who. The gentleman had 2 Old Puts...1 red and 1 blue...and was not interested in parting with either. At the time, about a year or two ago, it was the only other blue one I had seen....best regards
