The funny thing about these printing anomaly cards is that years ago, dealers would almost give that stuff away. Today those cards are sought after.

I like those cards because there's probably an unknown story that goes along with them. I wouldn't pay a premium for them, but if something came up at a reasonable price I'd probably pick it up, "just because".

Print errors go in and out of being cool. There were real hot the entire 90.s, I know I sold 1000s of them at huge premiums. A few years ago T206s errors sold for silly money and now not so much.

I've always liked the mis-cut's that capture 4 different cards. Here are a couple backside non-sport examples.

Here is an e92 Wagner with a menagerie back (I believe this is the only one known), and a t206 multi-strike with brown old mill and a ghost image

Post-war, but one of my favorites. I don't have this card anymore, but I found it cool that it was so miscut it had parts of two different neighboring cards visible.

I'm pretty stoked to get these. As far as I'm aware, they are the only known pair of the same player (presumably same sheet) upside back cards (a matched pair).

Very cool, also neat to see the one has 2 backs and the other only one, most likely from the top/bottom of the sheet.
