T206 Cobb Wet Sheet Transfer...??

[sando69]

need some help from our bevy of resident t206 gurus!
currently offered on ebay as a Ty Cobb ghost, wet sheet transfer...
even tho the obverse exhibits a different image (bradley), it does appear to be a red cobb on the reverse...
only problem is the 350 subjects front on a 150 subjects back!
if not chronologically impossible, wouldn't this wst combination be extremely unlikely?

Although we usually assume that this type of transfer is done at the time of printing, is it possible that, under the right temperature and humidity conditions, that it could have occurred during storage, years later?

but wouldn't a transferred image to the back of another card be a mirror image (the opposite orientation of the original) ?

It is clearly an underprint.

Wish I'd thought to say that!

From looking at that, to me, it seems that what Jim VB says about cards together that got wet is more plausible than 'wet sheet transfer'.

It seems unlikely to me that sheets would stack up so that the cards would align that well. Cut, finished cards would stack up aligned. That seems more likely. But everyone today seems to want their cards to be 'wet sheet transfers' and worth more...
