Any thoughts (other than you collect crappy cards) ?

Fergie is suffering from multiple color shifts. Fairly typical. Cheap is always good! Congrats!
PS I like the little blue? horseshoe type item under one of his armpits! I owned this little gem at one time!

Ah! Perhaps it will be good luck

Very slightly color shifts are normal for T206s. They had troubles aligning perfectly the color printing plates back then. In fact, one way to identify an authentic T206 is to look for slight misalignments/overlapping of solid colors on the borders, such as below:

slim,


great eye looking for the freaks....this --------the seller shouldn't have listed it as a "color shift" , altho technically it is, just not enough or dramatic enough to be considered or marketed at a premium for us "freak" lovers...

hello

I am johnny and am addicted to printer's scraps/ freaks in the T206 set....actually probably "obsessed" with them to a degree

I feel your pain with the old judges(o.j.'s), I love them, but they are very pricey even for a decent common...

hunt ebay and auctions for the hidden "gems" if you will.....sometimes you can get a 1 k card for 20 bucks if your lucky enough...

email me if you ever need any advice on these...I got your back...I will not bid on any cards that you found either, just want to help
