too much ink card?

[danmckee]

I have to agree with the majority here, yes ridiculous but some people collect the crazy T206 print freaks and I have never seen one with the "B" completely solid like this one.

It is kind of neat, if it doesn't sell it will just go in my binder with the many other pages of printing freaks and proofs I have.

Happy New Year everyone!

Dan,

Might this be a Simple Red Sharpie Helped Card?

A truly fair question Denny but not a chance.

This card is from the recent Baltimore Fresh to the Hobby find that came from the original family.

The cards are untouched and most are nice as you can see in my Baltimore Find Thread.

Take care Denny and have a super New year!

Amazing restraint by Mr Mckee ater being called overpriced. If you'd dropped your prices on that $100K by 20% maybe you could have sold $120K. But then, that'd be $96K and you would have lost $4K. Hmm.....voodoo economics there........

The print quality of the red B on Starr's cap varies quite a bit. They can be found very neat, with just the top portion of the B filled in, or both the top and bottom of the B completely filled in.

I don't own one completely filled in, though I have seen them, these two are from my collection.

Thanks for posting those pictures Tim!

The one on the right is very neat!

If you really think about it how is this anymore silly than any other T206 printers mistake? I mean just as many folks could say cards like the Shappe is just as silly. Card has value because a tiny part of the capital “R” is missing…yet the card brings big bucks. As do the Doyle cards with dots and no dot.

Probably best not to think about it at all, lest the whole T206 market goes south all at once. Because if you really did think about it.....you wouldn't buy it. No knock on Dan, he can price his cards as he wishes.

Here are two t213-1 Starr examples. (the psa card has been traded away)

These print anomalies take time to be recognized by the market. There was a lot of discussion about the merits of the various Sweeney "B" no "B" many years ago.

I think we need to come up with a better name than "Red Blob" variation though.
