What is a T206 Wet Sheet Transfer???

Yeah, the picture on the Cobb isn't very helpful. I've seen a few others that have shading from the plastic, but none with any color in the borders. Could be a reflection from the flash at an angle? Odd visual effect if the color isn't there. Either way, I'm sure it'll be in the BIN museum for a while longer.


Not quite as bad as the teapot though..... That pic has been around for years. Two things come to mind seeing it again.
1)Thankfully it was taken before better digital cameras became common.
2)It's never anyone good looking making a mistake like that

Due to the convexity of the steel, he only appears to be a fat slob.

Here's another Tolstoi wet transfer.

Most expensive WST, It is offset and I am doubting the owner had several stacked on top of each other in a humid environment for this to happen.

Thoughts?

I doubt the owner of those Cobb's would have given them any special consideration 100 years ago and they would have been stacked and stored just like all their other cards.

And it also appears that the Cobb that was pressed against it either had a little left behind or took a little of the other Cobb with it when they were separated.

One of the major auction houses (REA, Mastro?) about a decade ago had a ridiculous slew (somewhere between 5 and 8) of the T206 Cobb w/Cobb backs in a single auction from a 'find'. I guess the consigner of them could have had some pancake stacking going on, and lived in 90% humidity land.
