T206 Cobb Wet Sheet Transfer...??

[geor952]

I was kidding about watching it to buy. I am pretty sure the seller is not the same owner who had it at the national. I was told, by the dealer who had it at the National, that it was going on ebay, starting at $0.99 on Monday Aug. 3. That is what I wanted to watch, I finally found the auction and was shocked at the price.

According to Frank, there are no such thing as wet sheet transfers.

There are, Jantz. But every time someone sees a card image on a card, there's a fair chance it is from something other than a wet sheet transfer during the printing phase. Many folks aren't objective about that, they have a card and want it to be some printing variation with an associated boost in value. That isn't what folks want to hear, but that's the reality of it.

I think I have a Page's Milk wet-sheet transfer somewhere.

I was looking at that card last nite on a webtv and it really did not show much detail. After looking at it on a computer today, it sure looks like Cobb to me but how it got there I have no idea. Sorry for making fun but I really could not see much on the webtv. I must add that I never have been interested in this kinda thing. I guess some are and in coins errors can bring big change.

Thanks guys for the info that these type of errors tend to be of one color. I did not know that!

I am sure there is no such thing as a wet sheet transfer. They don't exist...This non-wet sheet transfer came from the Mike Berkus collection....

Cool! I definitely prefer an inadvertent color run or "monoprint" type example over a wet sheet transfer.

Oh, there are definitely wet sheet transfers. When I was making prints I even made some, inadvertently, by stacking the latest print off the press onto a prior print before the prior one was completely dry. Leaf made some real beauts in its postwar baseball issue. I have a great Spahn red ink transfer and a Van Der Meer with the card back nicely transferred to the front.

Having silkscreened thousands of posters, I can tell you this certainly happens when you stack wet posters together. Certainly the same goes for offset prints.

This one goes with Leon's....
