I agree with Ben...it is not just T206's. Some T201's have sold for quite a bit higher than I would anticipate as well. I am sure this happens in other card series as well.

Here's one i used to own, another board member has it now. Up until about 5 years ago, SGC was not even slabbing errors & miscuts. i brought a bunch to a show and convinced them it was a good idea, they did it. included in the bunch was an upside down back, yellow/brown scrap and this miscut. they said they would do it, but felt it was best to label it all as AUTH.

Sean -- I think SGC just wasn't grading with numbers these types of miscuts back then as they do now. Clearly the card isn't hand cut.

This Type-2 makes me think the sheets were setup different from T206s, Doyle appears closer to his neighbour then Murray (not my card) does.

Not prewar baseball but interesting.

Interesting-I wonder if there are any Type-1 frontal miscuts out there?

I like how since this topic came up the # of them in the B/S/T section has greatly increased. I need to start a thread on low end beat up T210's selling really cheap.LOL
