Yellow Brown S.C. 460 f. #30 Printer's Scrap- sister sheet/ stain correlation?

[mrvster]

Hello All!

As you know I'm obsessed with T206 Printer's scraps.....the "alternative" T206....so rare and beautiful, even the most beat up examples become "more beautiful" ironically......

Anyway, thanks to fellow board members in a trade, I acquired another beauty... A T206 Mcintyre Yellow/brown scrap ....actually, the only possible FRONT/BACK combo 1 of 1!!!..... MCINTYRE is NOT possible with the FACT #30 SWEET CAP BACK series 460....THIS one does because it missed the OVERSTRIKE and was a never complete ........ I will post in a minute....

nevermind being so rare, there are a few sweet cap y/b F. #30's scraps out there with clean examples of the back and front and not stained on the front....then there are a few that are beat up a little, and have a type of "coffee" stain" or "soda" stain on front.....some of these scraps with the "stain" and beat up a little have penciled in on the back "25" and "30"....

the story / rumor is a dealer had some of these y/b scraps and was selling them in the 70's .....he had marked them with the prices on the backs "25" and "30" "dollars".......the stained fronts are a mystery.....


my theory- a few (2 or 3) printer scrap sheets sc f. #30 SURVIVED....one sheet was "peeled" off the floor where some spilled a cup of jo on them/ for garbage.....???

I guess we will never know.....


I'm posting a link of a current ebay auction with a "sister Stained SC f. #30 460 y/b)

I also have a street with the similar stain/damaged backs....


PLEASE POST IF YOU OWN ONE!!! THEY WERE ALL SISTER CARDS RECEIVING THE DAMAGE AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SHEET....
