question about T206 printing marks

[teetwoohsix]

One thing I found interesting about this Dots Miller T206 is that he has a "period" after his name instead of a "comma".........anyone else notice this?

Good catch, Clayton! I love this stuff. It's actually a legit printing error in my opinion. In a quick survey of eBay, 3 of the 25 or so available had the period anomaly.

It looks to be Piedmont (350?) only.

2 just got snapped up today (I bought one) and the one other remaining is way-way overpriced for whatever reason.

Adding it to my list of cards (like leifield Partial G and Randall Milwaukef) to get SCD and ultimately SGC to recognize and put a premium on.

Thanks Trae ,,,,,,,,,I had checked my Dots Miller card and it has a comma
Very interesting though, I wonder how many other cards have this period instead of the normal comma?

I figured I would put my question in this thread, since it is related. I think this card was hand cut from a larger sheet. From top to bottom it's taller than any of my others. Obviously you can't measure the card from a scan, but what do you guys think? Are hand cut cards rare, and do they command any premium? Thanks a lot.

Back in the 80s and earlier there were many 206s like this-very large-now there are a lot of PSA 8 and 9s.

I wouldn't condemn all those 8s and 9s. There were also some really nice old cards around back then too. Hanging out at a shop I got to see some really great stuff come in still the way the original owners had stored it.

The card shown is trimmed for sure. Most hand cut cards aren't as nicely done, and usually have other stuff going on.

This was funny Jim.
I could see why Luke would think it was hand-cut though. If it was a trim job, why wouldn't they have done a better job ,,,,,,,,
