T206's - A Once In A Lifetime [Scan Heavy]

[Sean]

Sean, I'm wondering about that Beaumont because I have one as well, also missing color and with a nearly identical pinhole.
What are the odds?

What are you wondering about it, Sean?

I'm curious because of how similar the cards appear . There was a thread about this last year in which a board member speculated that my Beaumont wasn't really missing the red. He thought that the card had been pinned-up in the sun, causing the red to fade.
Now here is another card that appears to have been pinned-up at some point, and it has the same amount of missing red color. Either he was right, or that is an amazing coincidence.

Sorry I can't remember the board member, or I would credit him by name.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that when a T206 shows some form of printing flaw, sometimes different flaws appear on the same player's cards. Its just a matter of time before they are found.

For instance, take Newt Randall. Here are three examples.

1. Newt "Abe" Randall
2. Newt Randall, who played for Milwaukef.
3. Newt Randall, with a stray line on the right side parallel with the image border.

There are others too.

Nice cards Sean1125!

I think you are one of the masters of these subtle variations, if not "the" expert on these

we dream of T206 variations, don't we??

btw....I love the ABE.....that full "caption jump" , as I call them, is 1 of only 2 I have ever seen(del howard being the other)......very rare.....very

one of my favorites

Thank you for the nice comments Johnny!

Honestly though, almost all the credit should go to the other Net54 members and their willingness to share their knowledge and discoveries.

So many members have helped me along the way.

Agree handful of neat cards, but I too hope you didn't pay top dollar for the bulk of them as many are not legit errors for quite a few reasons mentioned.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

John

Sean, I may have been a person who suggested that many of the light or slight missing red cards could be caused by sun damage or UV exposure. Not all but many IMO. Not sure if was about your Ginger card or not. It may have been a thread that discussed the below H&S auction lot. On the below cards I have little doubt UV played a role in their looks.




I wondered when these cards would show up again. Looks like they have. It's a shame the display pieces we're dismantled IMO...but the buyers choice in the end.

Sean B you may already be aware but many of your above scans seem to show cards that came from this group of cards affixed to the folk art items that sold in this H&S lot. Just an FYI.

Important question...is the Herzog a Large Ass?

[HRBAKER]

I know this, those are some Large Ass scans!

Awesome Cards! That Carrigan is only the second one (next to mine) that I have seen.
