To me, maybe they would be a slight printing error. Unfortunately this one would have the opposite effect of a t206 value, imo.

The player image looks blurry to me.

For all multi color cards and multi color printing, if the color printing plates aren't perfectly aligned during printing there can be a blurriness. Happens in Topps cards with some frequency. Best bet that's the case here.

Thanks! It's a PSA 3 (has a small bit of paper loss on the back)

But definitely one of the best cards in my collection.

The quality of the lithography of most of these N162 cards is spectacular. George Harris & Sons Lithographic (of Philadelphia) printed
these cards. This printing firm was one of the best on the East coast in the late 19th Century. Occasionally, though, N162 cards are
found with poor registration. Over the years, I have upgraded my Kelly four times to attain the quality of this card.

Those are really nice looking cards, Ted. Some friends and I normally comment on how some of the least rare cards (relatively speaking) are so difficult to find in really nice condition. And I know many of us have held out for a long time for just the right card, when ones that are similar abound.

Yeah that is a hell of an Anson, Ted.

A great set. For some reason, the one I see out of register the most often is Anson.
