Are they for sale? Or part of your collection?

nodgrass Murr'y and Dopner are terrible investments, in my opinion. They are not errors - they are at best misprints. Nobody mispelled Snodgrass or Dorner. Nobody used an apostrophe to spell Murray. They are popular by trend.

As more people discover weirdo printing defects, the less interesting these will become, eg, backwards commas, floating 8s, etc.

Spend your money on true errors like Magie. Save up for that one for sure. Leave the rest to the freak bandwagon!

Just my humble opinion....

I will keep it that does not mean I will not buy the card (Magie) you mentioned I will some time in the near future. I enjoy T206 freak cards they are super rare and I like that challenge.

But I do understand you point of view!!!

I was going to buy a Magie T206 but at this moment the only ones I found for sale have to many stains on them (graded 1's and 2's I do not want a higher grade than that)...I want to get the best for my buck.

I think you did okay with the Murry. No doubt that it is rare. And you like it! After all that's what counts. It will always be a desirable card. Yes, others may be more desirable to some but there will always be those that admire and appreciate all the differences in card prints. and blah blah blah...ok I'll stop rambling. Dave.

explain why a miscut card is a good investment? how about a name at the top of a card? a missing ink run? or anything else for that matter?

a good investment is something that will go up in value. unless you have a magic ball you dont really know what will go up or down. who would have thought PSA is gong to attach a -2 to qualifying cards. people who had them are pounding sand right now. you can't give them away.

based on what you are saying, the only sound investment is a perfectly average high population card which looks and feels like the rest of them.

not sure about you guys, but i go by supply and demand. when there are only a few and i have not seen one for sale in 3 years, i buy it.

if you listen to them and want to sell your murr'y....ill buy it. it is the last one i need for my set.

"explain why a miscut card is a good investment? how about a name at the top of a card? a missing ink run."

They are not either. They are already priced sky high. My rule of thumb is that if the glitch in the T206 happened in 1952 Topps, and the Topps would be worthless, then it is a T206 collector fad. Not an investment.

"based on what you are saying, the only sound investment is a perfectly average high population card which looks and feels like the rest of them."

True error cards can be a good investment. I'm betting minor type defects based on a scrap of dust in the printing plate won't. To each his own.

"not sure about you guys, but i go by supply and demand. when there are only a few and i have not seen one for sale in 3 years, i buy it."

You might consider buying when demand is low. Not now.

No it will remain in my collection probably till I pass away (I am only 32 years old). I do not intend to sell any of my cards I would rather give them to my only niece once I get to old and can't be part of the hobby anymore...I know this is far from the answer you are hopping for but I am telling you the truth. I know how it feels to want a card and not been able to buy one believe me!!!

I think if you were able to look at enough t206's, you would find plenty of other cards with things similar to the Murr'y, Shappe, Dopner, Nodgrass.

There is also the Mitchell, Toront...missing the O

You can find the Hemphill card with part of his name missing, I've seen at least six examples of that, someone here has four.

I have the Griffith card with the last 2 1/2 letters of Cincinnati missing and I've seen another one of those.

I found this card a couple weeks ago. This one isn't missing letters, or part of a letter, it has a legit problem at the end. How many would you need to see to make it a recognized card? Not even sure how you would explain it if it was a recognized error

Exactly. With the proliferation of T206 and T206 collectors on the internet with iphones and scanners at the ready, there will be dozens of these things. The only reason nodgrass gets a premium is because he was discovered early on and then collectors/dealers who found them promoted them as errors. I have just never bought into that.
