Apparently some were saved and handed down, and found their way into the hobby. Luckily for us.

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

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!
