Opinions Please T206 Scrap or not??

The back sure looks like it could be, wavy edge, missing color and MC but tough call sir.

Either way neat card and a great pickup!

Not a scrap, send it my way...
Seriously though.

The way it looks on my screen I'd say yes. So many differences.

The P on the jersey looks blue rather than brown over tan.
The bottom of the button area has a pronounced horizontal line where the production one doesn't
The lower left corner has far more blue shading, or the scrap has very little tan shading.


Plus a few smaller things it's hard to be sure of in the scan.
Like the vertical part of the collar on the left side. The lower line on the production card seens to end aiming at the center of the top button while on the other it seems to curve upward.

Thanks Chris and Steve......

I ve been leaning toward scrap.....just need some convincing

I'm not thinking it's scrap, but it's a card that might simply have missed a brown color pass during the original print run. You see a lot of cards like that out of the t206 set.

As for that wavy edge, I'm wondering if that is due to the card being held together with a group of them by a rubber band?

I'd vote no, it's not a scrap. To me, it looks like a well used card a kid probably beat up over the years. Just my opinion.

I don't think that is scrap. Not even close.

This is such a toughie!

I was thinking rubber bands also.....when i received it, the back lead me more towards scrap....ironically, more than the front

I'm stumped on this one....making me want to post some of mine...

[mrvster]
