Can I see some rare T206 Sweet Cap backs

[Bill77]

Mickey has only 5 graded by PSA with factory 25 listed on the flip.

Good topic!

I can't speak to other teams , but since I've been working on my White Sox T206 master set for the past 12+ years, I've found that there are several tough Sweet Caporal Factory 25 front/back combos.

For instance, it took me what seemed like FOREVER to find this George Davis combo:



To reference the PSA pop report...there are only 5 SC350/F25 of this card graded, compared to 7 Old Mills (and its one of the tougher OMs!!), and 9 Brown Hindus.

It's not only 350/25s and 460/25s that can be tough - it also took me a very long time to track down this SC150 F25 combo for Fred Parent:

I forgot where I saw it and who the player was, but there was a SC back with a factory overprint correction bar printed on the top of the card back instead of the bottom. That was really cool and pretty sure it falls into the "rare" category.

Hi Chris

Is this the T206 you are referring to......



Or is it, a T206 with a SWEET CAPORAL back ?

Normal background is RED..... anyhow, it is a rare color misprint.

Pat, That's it! Lajoie! You got it! Thanks

Now that looking at the OM back Ted posted (Ted, thx for posting that) and realized that upside down 649 factory overprint was printed about the same place as the place of the OM back. If the printer made mistakes of feeding uncut sheets upside down and printed those 649 factory overprints, they would have been printed on the higher portion of the back, right? And what's the chance of feeding SC and OM sheets upside down and made the same mistake. That's wacky!

Knowing what we do know about the borders on the T206 sheets I think the upside down 649 overprint is in the right place. I think the top borders of the sheets were bigger than the bottom border so the placement of the upside down overprint would be different on a sheet that was fed upside down.

I've seen large top borders like this but I've never seen bottom borders that big.
