Poll: What is your opinion on the value of T206 WST (Wet Sheet Transfers)?

[ethicsprof]

I think they're a very interesting anomaly, particularly when I see them on
Tolstoi cards.
I'd pay a small to medium premium.
all the best,

I would (and have) paid a slight premium on them, because of their uniqueness. It all depends on the level of detail in the transfer and the situation. To me they are certainly in a separate category to ghost images and mis-prints, with the latter two commanding more of a premium. Great poll and discussion though.

Question; with the case of a WST from a different brand on a card, would people lean towards that happening at the time of production, or the case that Steve put forth, where conditions were just right (or wrong) and over time in storage the ink transferred over?

I guess I would lean towards Steve's theory, but I am not too versed on how or where the different brands were produced (same factory, same time, different brand - see example below).

Thanks!

Bill - I think the 'different front and back ad' is almost certainly from cards being stuck together for a long time. But yours is very nice.

It doesn't make sense that a sheet of Sweet Caps would be stacked on a sheet of Polar Bears, since the cards are going in different packs.
