T206 Ghosts Images.. show em!

[Mountaineer]

mrvester,

thank you for the response you left me. It was highly informative and the type of posts I just love since it is full of history and knowledge.

These ghosts images and miscuts/misprints/etc are truly one of a kind and awesome.

Here is my question... If these ghosts images are due to trying to get the pressing correctly, wouldn't every card in the set have a ghost image that corresponds with it? Also, was the printing plates destroyed or has the community been able to find one?

I love to share the info.....if I am wrong, a member will correct me....but a lot of this is theory....


unfortunately , no sheets survived....no press plates......actually, very little can be found .....we are all trying to find this out.....the only clues we have are these printer's scraps.....part of the intrigue.....you can be part of the historian.....

many ghosts/ images/ garbage sheets were created.....most never survived....they were considered garbage. back then, now we treasure them(how ironic).....

it's like treasure hunting....

this is the beauty of this set.....some of us here are rich....some poor....some in between....


we share one common love.....vintage memorabilia ...

in my case....between to poor and addicted to T206!!lol...

you don't have to be rich to enjoy collecting the cards or the history.....and you can enjoy learning and discovering items about them everyday
