T202 Oddities

[Leon]

I keep an eye out for miscuts and anomolies but don't recall any for T202 besides a few slight ones. Most T cards have some weird ones but not so many for this series....

As a side bar to this thread, I would like to hear some of those with knowledge of this set to weigh in on whether they believe some T202s were folded, and then folded again (all at the factory), thereby creating the "perfect" creases down the center of the card that we sometimes see. I also believe some cards are notched in the center which lends further credence to this theory.

I've always been curious about this and it seems that this would be logical for packaging in a slide and shell box or small cigarette configuration. To the best of my knowledge, however, Hassan never produced a slide and shell.

But some cards have that center crease, and others don't. How would you explain that?

Bad day at the folding machine?

Now that explains it!

Is there a package from that era other than the box that they might have been distributed in? If this is the case I believe that it is a very good possibility that this is the case because for the mentioned center creases, the notch, and the cards I have seen that have a fold line (not a crease) in the middle that have not been folded.

The cards were almost definately cut when folded at the end panels, due the number of angle cut T202s.
