T206 miscut values for multiple back ads

And once again I would suggest that these cards are misprints (mal-aligned) and not miscuts. If you cannot cut it correctly, you cannot miscut it.

So if I wanted to collect these, I would tip the printer (and not the cutter) and have him send me a few.

a) That assumes the printed portion of the back occupies a rectangular space, which is not the case for any T206 I can think of. This Goudey will assist your imagination.

b) Your post was the reason I used the word misaligned.

On a related note, grade "inflation" is actually grade contraction if you think about it. And even if you don't.

You are actually seeing the corner of a fourth back on the Goudey. There just isn't anything printed on it, and I have a BS in Mathematics to back that up.

Fair enough. In my shorthand, I meant "printed portion of the back" when I used the word "back." Otherwise, of course, all backs are misaligned or miscut to some degree.

Frank,

I see your point. So strictly speaking, each of these cards only has one back.

It's true, but if a couple of them get stuck together you could have a beast with two backs.

WTF?? That's pretty cool regardless of explantion. I guess re-backing dates back to circa 1910. Maybe time to start peeling the top layer off all my fronts in hopes of finding a Plank or Wags
