Question About T206...Burns CHI AL

Something's not right with that Keeler (or not right with the settings on your scanner.) The print at the bottom of the card looks blue (should be brown) and the Polar Bear back also looks bluish.

My Burns also has an Old Mill back and it seems that a high % of Burns cards has the Old Mill back.
There are still a large number of oversized t206s but quite a few less than 20 years ago.

Burns glove is borrowed from a team member because he lost his in a bet...

The Keeler is a reprint.

Has anyone seen the original photo this Burns card was designed from?

Id love to the see it. Its a funny card (glove on wrong hand)

So this is what I mean. "Plump" borders but the image is the exact same size.
Must be what has already been addressed...

And this Burns card is curved a little, while the two side-by-side lay flat (just emphasizing the difference in size.

Bad pic - but one can see the ink. It isn't dully smudged, more stamped on there. Maybe someone pen exploded on it years ago, but I think it is from
the jersey or another card.

A dead giveaway that a T206 is a reprint is when it's missing the Factory # on the back, as that Polar Bear is.

I have a Jake Stahl/Glove Shows that is a jumbo. Could these cards be
corner cards of the sheet perhaps?

I picked this up today at a card show. This card is quite a bit longer than most T206s I've seen, but what caught my eye was the line on the back in the upper right corner.

Thanks, Jantz, for posting that. I don't recall seeing such a line before. Seems likely that the card was at the top edge and just didn't get a final trim...

[Jantz]

Frank - I have never seen a line like this either on a t206 back and that is why I grabbed it at the show. I thought it was interesting.
