Default t206 print mark

Hello All_
i have a phillipe with a similiar "print mark" in the top border....its a terrible scan, but also part 2 namer....i bought off ebay for like 60 bucks...i mainly collect t206 "freaks" and saw this example, said what the hell....they are a bit rarer than expected, but nothing real "exciting"....

there are some "printers crop marks" on some t206 backs, they are a bit tougher...theory- these marks where placed on sheets to align them for dicing....some of my examples are oddly cut which show parts/full crop marks on the backs....i have scanned ebay over the years and they occasionally pop up, but are tuff 2 find
to each his own, i place a primuim cause of there "rareness" but nothing crazy sweet like printers scrapall in all they are fun and unique...these examples are noteworthy tho...
as for matty proof....that is in a league of it's own and deserves a new thread devoted to it!! Leon!!LOL!!as u know, printers scrap is different than production t206..big differences..

Peace

Johnny

Default t206 print mark

These are interesting as they have always seemed very random to me (sometimes on front, sometimes on back, sides, etc). As mentioned unless it is distinctly a proof they don't seem to get much of a premium although they seem like they should as other printing mishaps seem to. Attached are some I have held onto, the Young is hand cut/trimmed but can't say if it was actually a proof or not.

I got this card the other day, and, after taking a hard look at it, thought of this thread. Please take a look at each vertical border, at approximately halfway up/down the card. There are a couple of horizontal marks -- directly opposite from each other.



The right side is more visible -- a relatively bright blue horizontal mark. The left side is more subtle -- blue, but very light, almost transparent. It is hard to see in the scan, but it is very clear with a loupe. Below are scans of these marks.






The difference in these blues reminded me of post 131 in the following thread

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...+proof&page=14

So, what do you think? Are these some sort of printer's marks? Do they tell us something about the printing processes used?

Scott

if you look at 206s closely most have those marks-side to side and top to bottom.

Tom

I would think if the Young is a proof it would be a blank back.
