When I got those T209s I posted (on eBay around 10 or 15 years ago), they were presented as being badly damaged, and I got them for a correspondingly cheap price. But as several people said in the earlier thread where I posted them, at least the left one would probably fetch a good price today, because it's true scrap with an overprint on the back, apparently from the same sheet as several other T209s now owned by scrap collectors.

i'll try to get the back posted of Chance....amazingly it's a Piedy

the overprint almost gives Chance a "tattoed face" appearance , something tribal looking...

pretty wild....

Sean...we have true "no namers" here

mrvster -- I was talking about the T209-1s I posted on page 5 of this thread, and earlier in the "scraps from sets other than T206" thread from a month or so ago.

Actually, it turns out that I don't. The Tinker has significant paper loss at the bottom. That is why the name is missing.

But still a really cool overprint.
