Default Yellow Brown T206?

Is this card real? I just picked it up on Ebay last night. I know it is the ultimate beater but T206 scraps are right up my alley. Any thoughts? Sorry for the small scan.

I have seen 20+ of those (all different) and used to own a Johnson (pitching). They are real. My guess is that all the examples circulating in the hobby all came off the same scrap sheet. Others may have more information or more to say. They are very cool! Nice pick-up.

Hi Martin,

I think you did quite well on that Matty scrap.

Nice pick-up.

Thanks guys,

I won't be sure its real until I get it in the mail, although I can't imagine someone going to all the effort to manufacture one and then mess it up so much. The damage evident on this card also reminds me of damage I have seen done by other scammers.
