T206 Yellow Printer's Scrap...SHOW ALL YOU GOT!

[Sophiedog]

So Basically the conclusion is that these yellow scraps were unissued when they went to production?

[Sean]

They were to be scrapped, but a printer(s) took them home for his kids to play with. That's why they have all been cut by hand.
Apparently some were saved and handed down, and found their way into the hobby. Luckily for us.

Desperately trying to keep this thread alive for Johnny....

I own the Walsh Piedmont 150 scrap that sold in the Goodwin auction back in 2012. Unfortunately, I don't have a scan to post and I cannot easily access the card right now. I tried to pull the scan off the Goodwin website but the links for that particular auction aren't working correctly and the scan is not there (ugh!)

Do any of you print freak freaks have a scan of it by chance? If so, I'd greatly appreciate if someone could post it for me. (Chris?)

The card is definitely scrap because it's got the trademark crooked, hand cut borders and its missing multiple color passes. Though it's not a Sweet Caporal 350-460/30 No Scroll, its certainly worthy of being posting in this thread.

Thanks.

Steve

That is one cool card.
Steve Walsh is about my favorite T206, and to see it as scrap is great.

(thanks Jantz for the view)

Sean: Your post answers a multitude of questions I have had regarding the T206 set, and I certainly bow to this board's expertise on "The Monster."

I have wondered why T206 scrap cards are not considered mis-prints, as per cards that are missing a color, etc. In fact, in the SGC graded cards on this thread, one sees "Color Variation"...so I assume that applies to both scrap and mis-prints (or missing color) cards?

I also wondered what constitutes a T206 scrap card; now I know from your post, and I also understand the rarity of such cards now (before I thought they were just printer errors with several out there....).

Thanks for the education! Always learning, which is greatness!

Great QUESTION!!

all scrap ARE hand cut and not issued in ANY packs!

never made it out to the public....only privy to the printers or the DUMPSTER!

AMAZING they survived....every one is like a precious snow flake and different...


they are all unique onto themselves....are all hand cut and NEVER NEVER can have a numerical grade.....


as for "color variation" SGC and PSA basically, just don't know how else to label THEM

they are that mysterious


but myself and a few others here have....

they are quite amazing.....please email me ANYONE with a scrap question...

I LOVE to answer THEM

[mrvster]

sgc is great when labeling scraps....they were the first ones to try to classify them.....

when they put "color variation"....

it's basically them acknowledging the CARD HAS EITHER 1 or MORE layers of ink MISSING !! not "faded" , just never PRINTED! they are usually sole or "twin " examples(except sc 350-460 fact #30 no overprint y/b's can have up to 4 examples known of each player)......most scraps are just SINGLE examples(like WALSH).....

theoretically, there should be "sister" examples of each scrap, if a sheet survived of a particular sheet set up, then some examples could have survived, just the probability of them , even sole examples, are slim....

Usually the card needs a few layers missing for them to do so....

but some of us here, can even break down the multiple layers...


oh boy id love to label these scraps!
