T206 Ghosts... on the front!

[atx840]

Jamie, there are 10-15 other front ghost scraps of different players but most are not the black detail layer.

Not my cards



Triple ghost!

Those i missed on 19 th century!!! man and Rob's im DYING!!LOL

i passed on these cards back in the day, why, why , WHY!!

Well, gotta spread the love....

THANKs jamie.....Bender is one of my favorites also...

I have only seen a handful with the black outlines in the last 15 years...

Would LOVE to see another...

haha - I meant to put that last post in the 'red Cobb' thread. It would have been more appropriate as the cards posted here are real examples of unusual cards, and are of course very interesting.

But I guess it's okay here, as long as none of the rag-pickers...I mean scrap-grabbers (like me) take offense

Rockin' card Jamie.

My definitions:

I split printing errors and cutting errors.

Printing errors

Ghost: a wet sheet transfer where the ink from one sheet migrated to another leaving a mirror image of what is on the source sheet




Registration Error: a misprint where one or more ink passes was misaligned, resulting in an offset print. Varies in severity





Missing Ink: self-explanatory





Wrong back/front or inverted back: where the sheet was facing the wrong way when one side or the other was printed.




Misaligned front/back: where the sheet slipped when one side was printed and the result is the correct front/back combo but not aligned



Wrong partial print: where one or more ink passes was made with the wrong image, usually resulting from the sheet facing the wrong way for fewer than all of the ink passes



Misprint: anything that isn't covered above

Cutting Errors

The printing is OK on both sides of the card and they are aligned; the cutting was bad. Varies in degree from a nuisance to collectible--for me the latter begins where the image on the next card is visible





Diamond cut: I see these mostly with Topps cards. where the card is a diamond shape



Scrap

Stuff that does not appear to have made it through the end of the printing process or into the product

[Runscott]

Adam, you make some good points about what a 'ghost' is. I suppose we refer to all of the following as 'ghosts': wet sheet transfers, registration problems and printer scrap (such as the one that started this thread).

Starting to think I may have misread the thread title.

I think the T205 Sheckard isn't missing ink, but is slightly miscut showing the edge of one of the Newark cards at the left.

Could be; miscut or misprint, either way works for me.
