Don't see too many D304 scraps....A weird and unique HRK E136 and a few M116 somethings...

I'm not sure if these officially qualify as scrap, but they seem like they'd be of interest to some people here. I don't know exactly what's up with the ragged right edges. Fullenwider could just be a regular card that got torn, but on closer inspection maybe not, given that at its widest point it's just about as wide as the regular T209-1 in my collection. Walsh is definitely wider at the top and the bottom than a regular T209-1, and it has an uneven left border, all suggesting that it was cut from a strip, or maybe a sheet -- the top and bottom edges also look uneven, now that I look more closely. On the back, Walsh has what looks like a wet-sheet transfer of the bottom half of the blue color from Booles in the same set, while Fullenwider has a factory stamp -- I'm not sure how common those are.

So, all you wet-sheet-transfer and scrap fans, what do I have here? I bought these cards as a pair years ago, cheap, because they were represented as badly damaged.

I heard there were 3 of the T209-1s with the blue wet sheet transfer on back and yours might be the other one . It would go great with my two if you ever decide to sell.....I am your guy. Thanks for sharing, and yes those 2 have good value, though it's hard to say exactly how much.

I would like to mention that those are not wet sheet transfers but rather the blue ink was actually printed on the back. I think there is way too much detail for those to be WSTs. This is good for you guys because that cements that those are scrap and ought to make them considerably more valuable than if they were WSTs.

Great cards of Cy Young . Is that the same photo that is used on the T206 but identified as Irv Young?
