Anyone ever see 1952 scraps mid series with high # backs

Oh, that’s most definitely hand cut printer scrap for sure. Happy to see it properly identified.

It’s out there and I have seen it but most of us error collectors have it hoarded and it’s no longer common for it to appear. The reason being is that while it is definitely not worthless and in fact commands an easy 3 to 4x premium over a normal card in similar condition from the error collectors, a few eBay sellers have it marked up to the moon at silly prices.

One in particular who was a short lived member of this site has an error museum on eBay charging 20-25x the value of most of his errors. It causes ridiculous confusion to newbies who now see an auction for 4K that has been there for years.

Drives me nuts and limits the sale of these as no one would pay his estimates. These should always be auctioned with good descriptions to get the best returns.

Those are cool, too bad they are cut like that. They are a great oddball item.

What kind of value would you put on these?

I have no idea but as a oddball error collector I would pay $15 delivered just to have an example in my error collection.

I find with items like this that it really falls into luck of the draw as to whomever is bidding that day. I would think the Mantle back would get a good return and I would start the bidding at something near 299.99 to get interest once or twice if needed.

As for the rest I would start bidding at 19.99 for the ones with no borders and 29.99 with and list no more than 2 at a time to add scarcity.

List as double printed back errors in title and printer’s scrap in the description to cover your bases.

You can always ask way more and take best offers if you want to dredge for your personal required value, however high prices with BOs tend to sit because they scare people off.

0.02 cents.
