Thanks Johnny!

I've been at it a while collecting these but have been at it pretty quietly over the course of the past several years...I've rarely have the opportunity to post a larger group of 'em all together like this though but you do see my cards popping up in threads on the board from time to time

The interesting part is I've thought many times about going after t206 scrap cards and oddities but just always felt that you and some others had pretty advanced collections already in that area so I wanted to hit a side of things that not too many people hadn't really gone after yet.

I appreciate all the kind words too! Comparing our collections would be a pretty epic ordeal. It could be the t206 Scraps vs. the "Everything-else-Scraps"...heh! I'd be down for it sometime

Since you seemed to like the m116 sheets...here's a couple more

HOLY SXXT!

This is AMAZING!

I have never seen a bigger scrap collection, EVER!

you must have close to 100!

I'M SPEECHLESS!

THIS IS extremely hard to do, trust me, I know, and just EPIC!
thanks for the kind words.....please come to A/C in 2016

CONGRATS ! on an EPIC, beautiful, collection of these ..........

you have just SPECTACULAR taste...........they are GORGEOUS

ONE WORD................WOW!

Johnny,

Thank you, kind sir. Truth is, I don't think that everything I have is what you would define as "scrap". Some of it is, but I also have a good array of ghosts, cards with missed color passes, wrong backs, and on and on. Simply put, I like 'em when they look different. When the cards are a complete mystery and I can't tell exactly what happened to it or, in some cases, I can't identify the card at all...even better! One of these days, maybe I'll get around to making a website that shows a few of these off...heh.

Speaking of cards that are a mystery, I have a new one to share tonight with the board - a "headless" t222 Oldring. I'm sure it's not scrap, but it's an oddity of some sort and would love your opinion as well as that of anyone willing to chime in and have a look!

By the way, I've seen some of those multi-strike/multi-ghosted cards you've posted in the past. Insane stuff! I don't even know how they managed to botch those up during the original print runs and print what looks like 15 different cards onto the same sheet over and over...Amazing stuff there...heh!

Best!
Brian

I was thinking the same thing when I was typing it...........I think you are one of the best posters here......you are on top of every thread and I look forward to your responses.....great stuff

Brian.....I'M STILL BLOWN AWAY

even if half are scrap, it's an AMAZING collection.......simply OUTSTANDING!WOW!...\

thanks for the kind words about my "circus"......id love for you to see it in person a/c 2016.....

id love to see your collection in person..........we have the exact same taste! I was doing the same and collecting anything "odd" looking on a T206.....I have narrowed my focus to mainly "206 printer scrap" and rare backs within the last few years and have traded many of my smaller errors into scrap/rare backs...

the multi strikes were created by the printer by "running" scrap sheets through the press multiple times to set up the presses..ink distribution, cutting alignment, color, registration, ect....this created the many "multi" strikes on these scraps creating the COOLEST IMAGES..some sheets were used to set up various other issues which links the printing to other issues(those are some of my favorite)..the printers, over a century ago, in advertently created "mini" works of art on "set up sheets" and they didn't even know it.....now we search for "essentially garbage test sheets of a century ago" which has been converted to " card board gold"


great stuff brian! do not stop your focus!

THE OLDRING IS CREEPY! I love it!

not sure what happened to that one
