Odd Rhoades T206

[Pat R]

I picked up this Rhoades recently and I purchased it because of the transfer on the back. It doesn't look like any WST transfer I've seen but it also doesn't look like any impression cylinder transfer I've seen.

I think the marks on the front that look like pencil are factory too, in hand when looking at it under a loop and tilting it in the light you can see the marks are under the glossy layer that you see on some T206's you can sort off see what I'm referring to in this larger scan.

My first instinct when I looked at it, and the wavy pencil lines, is that someone tried to trace it and it left an imprint on the card.

What do you make of the blue fragments at the bottom of the card?

Very cool card

If you're talking about the blue on the lower left of the border James it's a shift in the blue layer from his belt.

The black lines may be a really bad bleed from a card left in the rain soon after being collected, before the ink was mostly dry?

Pat I have a non-sport Pirate back where someone traced the figure on the front and it either bled through the back or the indentation created a ghost like outline on the reverse and then they coloured it in. Not really sure what was going on, like your T206 very odd.

I don't think it was anything like that but it could have been something to do with some kind of moisture at the factory maybe Steve B has an idea.

Hey Chris, yeah I'm not sure what caused it but you can see in the large scan that it definitely wasn't traced and both the front and back are smooth.. Do you have a scan of your non-sport Pirate card?
