What does this mean? Does it affect value? Thanks for any help. Sorry like i said I am new to t206s

Has no affect on value. Those participating in the thread are using these backs in attempt to determine sheet layouts.

Nice pickup... Did you buy it raw, or submit to SGC on site?

I'm pretty sure you were sitting at the SGC table when I picked up my cards. Very nice.

Thanks - yeah i bought it late in the day and submitted at the show. Picked it up just as dealers were packing up. Didnt expect to add another cobb but was happy about this pick up. Really thought i would get a 2 on this but can't complain

Even pics of another example contribute.

There's a lot more to figure out past the sheet layout.

The scratches can be more obvious or less even for the same card. So the plate -if it was a stone could have been resurfaced when it wore out and the scratches partly polished off. (I think it's possible, and some of the same scratches may have survived faintly into the 350 series.

Combined with front differences that might eventually lead to understanding print runs within the currently accepted ones.

While there's no real premium right now, I think eventually - like maybe 20 years from now. There will be an ability to sort of super specialize, and some fronts with the scratch may be much tougher than others. And if the scratch happened very late in production any scratch may prove to be fairly tough compared to a card without it.
It's just way too early to tell.
