Defaced Cards

[SMPEP]

I have many that I could add to this thread, but I picked up over 100 of these 1933 Goudey's that have been heavily modified. Love the four versions of Alvin Crowder. I've always loved the way these look (the black border is an improvement in my opinion) ... but they look a little too professionally to be done by a kid in my opinion. Although if they were, that's a very talented kid! [Oh, and if anyone ever finds anymore of these ... let me know! I'm interested in getting more.]

Cheers,
Patrick

The two top cards are pictures pasted onto 1960 commons. The bottom card has a different hat pasted on. It looks like a new team name was pasted on at one time as well, but it is gone.

Both a little tough in their own way. The Howell sort of grows on you, the Burchell not as much.

I lovingly refer to the below card as "Exorcist" Bill Dahlen due the perfectly placed inkspot. It is probably one of my favorite cards, due to the post-production modification.

I know this is out of place in this forum, but I need some sympathy, so

As a kid I was obsessed with knowing how many cards I had. (Hey, it takes all kinds.) Anyhow, as I counted I kept track the best way I could think of.
Now why couldn't I have hit 100 with Reno Bertoia or 200 with Mayo Smith?

Looks like someone tried to add bats around this player and turn a T208 into a T205...

Two from my collection.... I might be taking this too literally.

Steve, That Howell reminds me of the Topps Who Am I ? from the 60's, maybe there's a Wagner under there
