What is a scrap? Please explain.

Amazing proof Jeff!

[Sean]

Hey Jeff, do you know why PSA wrote trimmed on the flip? Do they consider hand cut and trimmed to be the same thing? With a missing color scrap, I just assume it to be hand cut.

thanks for throwing that in!

for our purposes here......we are referring to the "printer's scrap", especially t206

thanks always for your great input...

JEFF
I truly feel you have one of the best "eyes" in the hobby.....your collection is RIDICULOUS!

truly one of the best collections out there! btw....these scraps are like potato chips, tough to get just one or two

Sean...

one word- CLUELESS!!

psa didn't even know how to grade these back then......all scrap got the label "trimmed" or at least most of them.....back in the day, they didn't even holder blank backs

submit blank backs to psa, they would come back "no holder" or "no voucher" or "factory misprint" and not come back holdered

[mrvster]

btw , the proof is incredible!!!!!

they were originally found in the same collection as the t206 proofs...

I talked to Rob Lifson about the find last year....

was a pleasure....you have a true piece of history there....very impressive sir!

Johnny...you're a MONSTER when it comes to this stuff

I think the ghost image on the back of the T3 was discussed in a thread a while ago. I believe the catcher is Kleinow...

I know it's not T206... but still excited that I just picked up this one...

1951 Bowman strip of two cards... overprint... front and back...





T206s are often out of my price range... but I'll keep looking!

Yes, that is Red Kleinow's ghost image on the back of the Chase proof.

And Sean, what John said -- the grading companies have been all over the place when slabbing these cards with no rhyme or reason on which got an A designation.
