Who bought the T205 Wiltse?

Interesting as the short prints seem to be printed in multiples side by side...I'd love to see additional examples. (just speculation on my part...but recall the Collins open also a side by side)

Neat card. Looks plausable to be another Wiltse. I would be careful talking all Crazy like that Mac. There are some guys that won't stand for changes to this set. Ted Z has the Collins MO var. I was able to confirm it at 12' nationals with the help of Ted who was nice enough to let me drag it around for a few days for comparisons. There was also a Joss side by side miscut on front. The back was not mis aligned though. Seller was in the stratosphere with price though. I think it was like 2k for the card in raw form, slight spider crease in one corner, and a spot of small paperless on the back. Described it as VG-EX- EX. I don't blame the guy since 90% of his cards were in PSA slabs or raw

I have a question on that card / auction. Im Still very new to collecting this t205 set, so sry if this is a bad question..

Why did that card sell for so high a price? $203 - I bought the same card PSA 2.5 last month for $49.00. Was it because it was a miscut?

I assume it's because of the miscut...can't think of another reason for it to go so high. I'm guessing we'll hear from the buyer soon enough? Waiting for Ted or Josh to chime in.

AS someone who collects miscuts I would say that (the miscut) is why it went for so much. Had I seen it, the final price would have been about what I would have bid. Maybe even a bit more.

I saw that auction and was surprised. It was miscut and it does look like wiltse was printed side by side. Several cards were printed side by side. Several were all printed top to bottom. Too bad we may never know what a sheet configuration looks like though.

Out of curiosity, what is interesting about collecting miscuts? Is it solely to better understand the sheet layouts and cutting practices or more than that?
